You know when you are addicted to beads when..... 1. You pass a school and you read the sign on the message board as "National Right to Bead Week" instead of "National Right to Read Week". 2. You don't mind if your husband spends hours at the model railroad shop because they have all kinds of cool tools you could use for beading. 3. You look at your yearly calendar and you've marked all the bead shows on it instead of people's birthdays. 4. You find yourself dreaming about Bali silver. 5. You fall in love with a different, new gemstone bead every week. 6. You look at the ironing, and think, "hmm, I think I"ll make just one more bracelet before I start. That will give me motivation. I can wear it and look at it while I iron." 7. You tape award shows so you can design beaded designs to go with the gowns instead of those "tacky" borrowed diamonds. 8. Your child introduces you to their friends, saying, "My mom makes jewelry", with an eye roll. 9. You go to the Gathering and people ask you to autograph your page in a beading book, and it makes you feel like a movie star.
- Your family knows who to call when they need a last minute gift for someone.
Here are my top 10 reasons. I hope everyone chimes in with theirs! Have a happy, beading weekend to all!
