Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Very nice. Where did you find the two tone chain?
Great saying.

KittyMom Linda says:Faith, found the chain in A.C. Moore – only a very little section of it too. It’s quite unique and I must credit Bill for finding it – he sure is a good “treasure hunter” when it comes to my beading supplies. Going to have to check the brand name out.

KittyMom Linda says:I have a show for the next three weekends in a row – the last one is a three day event. I am trying to get a good supply so maybe I can relax a little between them. Of course, it would be even better if I had to work my butt off and make more for each show.
