Description from J Yee smart chick: I'm watching my bead wallet these next few weeks more closely... I spent more than anticipated this month, due to a fun bead workshop... and some other places...
because the annual Puget Sound Bead Fest is the weekend of July 8-10, and I will be going with a few other beaders, whoo hoo... would like to make sure I have some $$S to spend there... ;)

J Yee smart chick says:Thank you Alice, Maria and Gina, so glad ya all understand – I find bead shopping is definitely a lot more fun when I go with other beaders – this show’s fun because there’s a lot of vendors that advertise in the beading magazines, unlike the Gem & Jewelry shows, where there’s a lot of companies with premade jewelry, not beads and beading supplies!
Maria, thank you too for your kind comments, so do you –
I definitely get a lot of inspiration from everyone here too, with all the amazing Picks and Designs you all post!
