I am going to do this!

Andrew Thornton!

Go on over to his blog and see what the Reader's Challenge is all about..

Seriously, look at the beads and that wonderful color,

so lush and vibrant. What an opportunity to work with these.  I did see what folks created last

month and, wow, beautiful pieces!

Thank you Andrew, for the challenge.

 I can't wait to get my hands on the beads. I am hoping that between this and the

Bead Soup Blog Party

that I can kick start my creative muse.

(I know, I have given myself permission to have no creativity) but I do miss it. :)

Oh, and I do have some Julsbeads coming my way!! :)

If nothing else, they look so beautiful on my table and feel good in my hands.

Happy Wednesday!

I got to meet Andrew Thornton!

Picture me standing on top of a hill yelling this! :)  

He is at the Best Bead show just outside Baltimore this weekend. (You can still go and say hi!)

Andrew is so gracious and welcoming. I did my "Hi, my name is Courtney and I follow your blog" thing and he was so nice! Thank you Andrew. 

To be able to actually see and touch those amazing Green Girl Studio beads! What a treat. I went overboard,  my daughter didn't help this with her "i love this one, you can make me a necklace with this one!" :)

The "collection"

My daughter fell in love with this castle. It is spectacular and the plan is to hang it on silk ribbon with a few swarovski's hanging below, princess colors of course.

These were just too cute to not get. 

I am loving these!

Again, thank you Andrew for being so gracious!

(totally made my weekend!)

Off to play! :)
