I went to Atlanta this weekend for a bead show... **SWOONS, FAINTS**
LAWD. Can not WAIT to go again! LOL
Just a few of the pics I managed to snap before I proceeded to loose my eva-lastin-mind.
Ignore that man's booty lol.
This wasn't even all of it. Just wow ok.
I took this pic just for Zanete. I wouldn't even know what to do with this. And that pink and black is SO hot. OMG...You can click the pics to make them larger.
Some of the prices were REALLY great. Some not so much. Seems like everything I touched was like $50+ per strand lol. I had to leave that stuff ALONE lol.
Soooo what did I get? LOL
This purple is sooooooooooo vibrant.
I don't know what it is with me and black beads lol.
These reminded me of jelly beans lol.
Soooo pretty lol
I LOVE these! The color is sooooooo pretty IRL...
Gonna make myself a simple little pearl necklace.
I am kicking myself for not getting any of these beauties for myself lol. This will become a necklace for a friend lol. Gotta have some pearls this color now lol.
I walked past these three times lol. Glad I got them lol.
SEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDD BEADSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I VOWED to never touch these things lol. They just called my name lol.
These are my favorites!!! I LOVE them lol.
OH yeah, we also visited my brother lol. Kayla was SO NOT HAPPY lol.
Alright, that is it for me guys! LOL
Have a great one!
Toodles!
That was the last place you needed to be.
What was wrong with Kayla? No pretty smile for the cameras. She acting like you are the papperazzi

This might sound crazy but what do you plan to do with all those beads? LOL. Seriously, are they to be worn or combined in your knit creations?

Great beads. You have a fabulous sense of style and color. You can make Kayla her strand of "20 pearls". lol
By the way......love the new photo of you with your hat. :-)

Looks like you had fun and picked up some pretty beads.

Adrianne you and I must be on the same plane! I've been beading all month. I actually stopped in a couple of bead stores while I was in Houston and bought about $75 worth of stuff. Don't worry you will see my projects soon. I've been on a crazy beading roll!
By the way Hobby Lobby has been clearancing these bead kits by Traditions a lot. They have fantastic styles with awesome directions. I have three to do and I think I will get a few more.
I can't wait to see what you do with your beads.

Great choices. You did better than I would have. I wouldn't have been able to walk away. I'm looking forward to seeing your creations.

what was wrong wit miss kayla?
Posted by: lisa (momy4him) | October 28, 2009 at 04:47 AM
OK, like I need another hobby-lol. These are beautiful. I've never been to a bead show before but I can see from your photos what all the fuss is about.
I've browsed bead mags before but never really tried my hand at beading. I'll have to reconsider-lol.
Hope all is well.
