Beads of Courage: 

This quarter’s donation theme: food!  Check out our new webpage for Beads of Courage and see what beads our members donated this quarter HERE.

Show and Tell: 

THEME:  Beads Made From Your Favorite Inspiration Magazine.

How did you come up  with that design? Sometimes inspiration happens when you least expect  it. Were you excited by pix in Bead and Button? Or Ornament? National  Geographic? Car and Driver?  Members brought their beads and the magazine or image that sparked the idea for the designs and shared with chaptermates.

Some of Nolly's fabulous creations!
