Fire Divas Gossip Column

There are only 11 more shopping and crafting days until Christmas! That means you are really cutting it close (like most of us), but still have time to get lampwork for using for your gift giving needs. And if you are making jewelry with artisan lampwork beads, you should snap a photo and enter it into the Fire Divas inaugural jewelry challenge! You can see the entries to date at the Fire Divas Jewelry Challenge Flickr group.

On to the GOSSIP!

Eileen is up to her usual wackiness, and it is hilarious.

Over at Fire n Sand, Karen has been pressing away and dreading...something you will have to read about yourself.

Holly has big plans for the holiday, but hasn't forgotten about her customers' needs.

Janel is very excited about something. You will have to read what it is for yourself.
