We have a little bit of everything in this week's recap. Kristen showed us how to make an enchanting necklace with one of our latest bead mixes. We joined our friends (and fellow presenters) from The Great Bead Extravaganza and discussed the fun we will be having this weekend. Sara had a beading party with Kay Goss. We explored videos from our community. We found a fun Millennial jewelry idea. It was a jam packed week! Make sure you stick around for the weekend when the 20th installment of TGBE arrives!
