Puget Sound Bead Festival is Almost Here!

I really can't believe that the Puget Sound Bead Festival http://www.pugetsoundbeadfestival.com/ is already next weekend. Time seems to be traveling at the speed of light these days and I feel like I'm not getting anything accomplished. It doesn't help that summer has finally arrived here on the Oregon Coast and the sunshine is proving to be a much needed distraction. I would much rather be out enjoying the weather than sitting inside printing directions and tending to kits like I really need to. But I'd be a fool to complain. Life is good and I'm doing what I love to do.
I received a package in the mail the other day from Tierra Cast http://www.tierracast.com/ who has generously donated samples to put into my kits for my students at next weekend's Puget Sound Bead Festival. It was like Christmas to open up the package! I'm so happy to be able to share these goodies with my students. I'm not going to tell you what they are because I want the students to be surprised but I can guarantee that they will be pleased!
