Amuse your muse – Holiday Beads – with Rebecca of Songbead

I’m back! Thank you so much for the superstar Tari (she’s rather sassy, doncha know!) for taking over my weekly posts whilst I was away. I had a busy holiday, which included this beautiful wedding…
My brother-in-law and his now wife married on a gorgeous beach just off the coast of Florida, over two weeks ago now. It was a perfect day in every way, the weather was cool enough that we could all enjoy an evening on the beach, watching them begin this new chapter of their lives together. Am I the only one who always wells up a little at weddings? 
Anyway, it’s back down to reality now – straight into the holiday season. How many craft events do you have coming up – are you exhibiting, or shopping – or both? I have five events between now and Christmas, and I am pretty sure I don’t have enough stock for even the first event right now….Best get cracking! 
To help others in similar situations, I thought I’d find some holiday beads to get started. I thought about holding this theme back until December, when it’s more wintery – but then, it’s almost too late to shop for them, isn’t it? Let’s see what I found from the Art Bead Scene Team….and don’t forget to leave links to your holiday beads and art beady makes in the comments below.
