If you get B&B

I got my issue yesterday, but I haven't had yet time to read it! It's funny, this must be the only mag that I get before US-customers! Usually everything comes to Finland 2-4 weeks behind, but this must be one month ahead :D

Thanks to Barbara's post I got to look at them. They are drop dead gorgeous. I would love to watch you making them. Hugs Shirley

yum Valerie! CONGRATULATIONS!!! :)

My issue arrived today in New Zealand.

Cheers, Jan

Thanks Shirley!!

I've started incorporating fine silver (which is in those beads) into some more of my beads. It gives a nicer effect than the composition silver leaf you can get at the craft store.

Congratulations, Val!!

Cool And yes i saw them great work Valerie

Thanks Karleen!

Thanks Jerri!

Thanks Vicky! Glad you got to see them. :-)

I KNOW, VALERIE!!!!!!!!! I ran around screaming and showing anyone who had eyeballs. "LOOK!! VALERIE'S BEADS!! I KNEW she would be ultra-ULTRA-famous one day!!!!" Kevin's the only one who knows you, and he was really proud of you too.

lol, wow I think you're more excited than I am. :-P I wouldn't go so far as to say famous or even known, but you can throw beads at my feet any time. I won't mind. ROFLMAO! It's fun though and I hope to enter again next year.

I want to enter it one day too. Seed-beaded something, I don't know what. I haven't made ANYTHING since last September, which makes this a one year anniversary for me. It's pathetic. And frustrating. :(

aarrrrgggghhhhh I just made 2 pairs of very simple earrings tonight, but that's about the only things I made this year so far and I don't see that improving any time soon (excuse typos, typing without glasses. One eye still works well enough for that.)
