Wow what can I say ''I hoard beads ''. I have a huge stash some I love and some are waiting for that special moment .In my stash I have chains, buttons, semiprecious,pearls,plastic,resin and polymer clay beads.I even have a strand of faux pearl that is about 50 years old ,it was given to me by a lady that use to work at home making samples for a jewelry company.When she gave me the strand she said that she knew I would make something pretty with it.

| The Bird | |
This is my third one .I bought a package of cardboard bird templates last year .It was 3 in a package for around $1.50 .I bought 3 packages because I fell in love with the bird.There is a story behind why I love birds.You see when I was around 5 years old I found a baby bird in the street ,and he was hurt . I made my mom go into a store and ask for a box so I could take the bird home and nurse him back to health.Two days later the bird had died .We buried the bird in the box and in a beautiful are of the backyard.I cried for for days.
