Beading for a Cure

Beading for a Cure is a fund-raising project done by members of the All About Beads forum on Yahoo Groups in memory of a member who died of colorectal cancer. Each member who participates receives a kit of beads to make a project, which is then auctioned on e-bay beginning in March, National Colorectal Cancer Month.

To see these beautiful art creations, go to:

Remember, they start March 1st. These projects are made with love and remembrance, and are perfect gifts for yourself, friends, and family.

New Blog format

I've changed my blog format. I really like the simplicity of the blogs I've seen in all white, plus I think it shows off the photography better.

I am finishing beading "old" projects. I'm making a lot of progress, and will post photos when I'm done. Sometimes I'll pull out a project and realize I don't care for it anymore, and it will just go into my unfinished/sample bin. Sometimes I've had a bag of colors together to start a project for a year, and then I start it and don't like it...so those colors go back into my bead bins. All of a sudden I have "new" beads to play with, beads I had forgotten about, or beads I especially like that I thought I had misplaced.

We had a call from Jason today. He is studying abroad for a semester and we haven't talked with him since he left Jan. 25. I don't know how much studying he's doing, but he's having a blast. The program has trips and social events every weekend and he's participating in those. It was so nice to hear his voice.

That's it for now!
