What is a Sneak Attack?
It's a way to support independant artisans who are trying to sell their wares online. Two days a week at an appointed time, an Etsy shop with few or no sales is announced on this site. As many people as possible then buy items from that shop, resulting in a frenzy of surprise business to the unsuspecting shop! To the upper right is the current Sneak Attack schedule. To participate, show up on this site at or soon after the time of the next attack and you'll see the chosen shop name in the box above. Then go to that shop and purchase an item, making sure to include the words "Sneak Attack" in the "message to seller". It's also fun to tune into the current thread on Etsy to talk about it with other "attackers".

June 28th: Meet Beadsoul
Lisa, known as Beadsoul is sponsoring our Sneak Attack today.
What started out as a way to create something handmade to give her Mom as a gift, has mushroomed into a love of creating handcrafted jewelry that will take your breath away!
And not only does Lisa make incredible art – she also teaches it! And loves doing it!
I love sharing my knowledge and letting people “learn from my mistakes” and give them shortcuts so they can get right to work on the type of jewelry creations they are interested in. I am inspired every class just by seeing how another person looks at the same materials and creates a whole different piece and to see the “light go on” when they get a concept!
Now, being kind of partial to earrings (ok, an obsession), I just had to show you these!
Be sure to check out Lisa’s other exceptional jewelry, and come over and chat with us at our Sneak Attack thread.

Lisa does make beautiful jewelry! I’m sure glad she changed her mind and didn’t close her Etsy shop! Great Sneaker!
