Anita QoG Funny Chick says:This pick has a very clean and refreshing feel……. love it, I don’t use alot of yellow, but, I’m reconsidering!!!!

CAS says:I have the Yellow Botswana Agate freeform pieces, and they REALLY look like lemon slices. I thought making a “pick” with them would be fun, and might get me to stop hoarding them and make something instead.

Anita QoG Funny Chick says:Yes you have to use them!!! I’d love to see what you come up with!!! & whats this about hoarding beads!?!!? We don’t that DO WE????

CAS says:Welllll….ummmm….some beads are just WAY TOO PRETTY to use in any old thing. They’re special and deserve special treatment…Riiiightttt…. It’s not REALLY hoarding then, IS IT?????? I must have mis-spoke….Riiightttt…. Ha, ha!

Anita QoG Funny Chick says:That sounds more like it!!!! You just have to hold out for just the RIGHT combination!!! or occasion!!! At least that SOUNDS BETTER….That box with the [SPECIAL BEADS] that we stare at occasionally, will be used SOME DAY !!???!!!?
[OR NOT]

Mary S - Sweet Chick says:So hoarding is a common thing with beaders?
Whew! I am so relieved to know I’m not the only one that does this.
Now what do we do about it?

Anita QoG Funny Chick says:I THINK, we just have to make sure the BOX we keep them in is “VERY SPECIAL” tooooo!! How does that sound to you???

POF Chick Nina says:Beautiful choice of beads. It is bright and cheerful, just the thing to make a dreary winter day seem brighter..

Gayla G says:LOL, I also thought I was alone in my hoarding habits. I always feel so selfish when I end up having to buy at least two of my favorites so that I won’t mind using one of them in a gift.
I LOVE this pick. My first thought is that now I really want a slice of lemon pie.

Science Chick Runs Sibes says:Ah…y’all have made me feel better about my hoarding. I have certain items that I take out to design with but put away again because I love them too much to just “do something” with them. Then, I have the designs that I’ve made with some hoarded fave and set the price on them high enough that the fave can slip reluctantly out of my hands when someone else falls in love.

CAS says:I finally stopped “hoarding” my Yellow Botswana Agate Flat Freeform Pieces, and made a necklace:

Luv2bead - Little Chick says:Yeah, awesome!

CAS says:Wellllll … I would be hard pressed to part with it unless the person really loved it.

Mommykat Bubbly Chick says:Oh- Beautiful necklace!

Bonnie R says:They really do look like lemon slices. Very pretty. hoarding is the name others give to our stashes when they just don’t understand. Its not hoarding, I am just releasing them from captivity. Which reminds me – LB those other glass beads could use a really good home somewhere. Hint contest hint?
