Hello! While I am still a little bit hooked on these large jewelry links in circular shapes from Michael's, I thought I'd post a couple more things I have made with them recently.  Sometimes you never know how long things will stick around at the local craft store. It's hard to tell if the store has just purchased some items for the season or if they will continue to order them for a while. If you find something you really like, it is probably a good idea to stock up! I hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend!! Take care! Lisa C. (www.abeadaday.blogspot.com)

Hello! I wanted to share these awesome beads with everyone because I had a jaw-dropping moment on my last trip to Joann, Etc.

There was an entire wall display or end of aisle display of blown glass beads. THEY ARE GORGEOUS! I posted this on my blog at www.abeadaday.blogspot.com and received a comment that these are not necessarily being carried at all the stores. Ours has just gone through a remodel which included increasing space for beads, yay!

I still haven't figured out what to do with these beads except to admire them! Let me know if you have any ideas! Take care!
