Bead Queen Status

What image pops into your head when someone says "I'm sending you some beads?" It's well known that I am as stingy as they come, so I was really excited to think that a few tubes of sparkly wonderment were coming my way. I was blown away when this bonanza arrived! The dear, sweet, and spectacularly generous Ms. Lisa has bestowed the bead queen blessing upon me. Just look at this! I have been beading like a mad fool ever since they arrived and were passed around to "ooh's" and "aah's." Here's a photo of the entire stash, a closeup of some of the pretties and finally, what I've been doing with them. Much heartfelt thanks go out to you Lisa. You are a gem!
