Each year around 2,000 entries are received in nine categories: Crystals, Glass, Heart, Metal, Pearls, Plastic, Seed Beads, Stones and Under $25.
Last year I entered 6 categories and had 3 place in the top 20. And one of my designs - "Good Advice" - placed 2nd in the Heart category.Not bad considering the odds and that there are over 26,000 votes cast.
This year I challenged myself to entering all nine categories.
I am delighted to announce that I have placed in the top 20 in three categories again:
Pearls, Stones and Under $25.
Anyone with an email and a computer can vote. Go to www.beadstar.com and click on the Vote Now button. You will be taken to a group of pictures for each category. If you are interested in voting for me here are my entries:

And in case you were wondering about the ones that didn't make it? Here they are.
Thanks for your support!Enjoy the day!

So lovely! You got my vote!
I LOVED the bee whisperer when I was @ the site about an hour ago! I haven't voted yet, I plan on going back & taking my time tomorrow.congratulations on your entries making it in
I can't believe your seed pearls piece did not make it. It is absolutely beautiful. I think you should email it to Beth (do it tonight - maybe she will accept it for the next issue even though the deadline has past). I also though that your "nuts" piece would make it too. Very weird.
I love all of your entries. My favorite is the pearls because of the color and texture. It is romantic and stunning. I also like your stones - love the bee and the asymmetrical design. Under $25 reminds me of snow flakes. It does not look like you created this design for under $25. You are so very talented. You make me happy to call you friend. Good Luck my friend.
seed beads and plastics are stunning.. very artful. Joan T
Congrats, Erin! I love the "Icy Rings" necklace.
Congrats, Erin! I vote that you and Lorelei totally kick butt in this contest!!
I've already voted. I recognized your Twilight piece that I just adore and of course voted for it. I also voted for Icy Rings without knowing it was yours......I covet that necklace, I'd sell my children for that necklace. Love, love, love it!
Congratulations, Erin! These pieces are really lovely!!!
I am glad I went and voted before everyone started posting their finalist pieces, I feel like I posted un-biased. I voted for your Icy rings though! And I know I voted for one or two of Lorelei's pieces because I saw them right after. For the most part it was really hard to choose! Congrat! Hope you win :)
Too many of my friends are finalists...what to do?! I love all of them, including the ones that didn't make the cut! The icy rings is my favorite though.
Congratulations! Good work!
Love

Congrats to you!! You really challenge yourself and the results show!
I voted for icy rings, even before I saw this post. I was impressed that such an artistic piece could be under $25.
Good luck!
All are amazing! Favorite is the pearls. Thanks for your kind words for my crystal entry. Good luck to us!
No.10 got me and my husbands vote! Your work is glorious. I would have even voted for your seed bead creation had it made it.
Erin! I finished voting.
And yours WERE the most beautiful, by far. Those icy rings, ahhh! And the one wiht the bee. Incredible!
I'm so proud of you!!
