<\/a>Any one hear of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Beads<\/a>??<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, You got it!\u00a0 I\u00a0AM talking about that\u00a0amazing Give Away initiated by Heather Powers of Humblebeads<\/a>.\u00a0 Heather gathered up ALL sorts of beads from her studio, and put them up for grabs in\u00a0a give away that\u00a0is like a\u00a0bead<\/em> round robin\u00a0 – truly a creative idea.\u00a0 The beads were packaged up in a medium flat rate box (it has now grown to a large flat rate box!) and sent to the give away winner.\u00a0 The winner then picks whatever they desire from the box, and\u00a0then replaces them with\u00a0beads of comparable value.\u00a0 This is the Sisterhood of the Traveling Beads<\/strong> .\u00a0 I am excited to report that I am the 11th to join the Sisterhood. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I recently won the latest Traveling Beads give away\u00a0on Becky Caldwell’s online journal, The Gritty Bird<\/a>.\u00a0 Stay tuned for the details on how YOU can win the bead box next!\u00a0 For now, here’s a sneak peak at the gigantic box of beads –<\/p>\n

I was so happy to find something else tucked in the box…something just for me.\u00a0 It was my order of Becky’s new Gritty Beads.\u00a0 Among all of the other amazing things that she creates, Becky now handcrafts her own paperclay beads.\u00a0 The colors are right up my alley.\u00a0 You can pick your <\/em>favorite color, right here in her shop<\/a>!\u00a0 Oh, and just look at Becky’s beautiful packaging – I love the free-form stitching.\u00a0 If you’d like to see more of Becky’s stitching, you’ll want to check out the current issue <\/a>of Belle Armoire Jewelry.\u00a0 Becky’s work\u00a0shines\u00a0in her\u00a0article, “When Metal Meets Thread.”<\/p>\n
