CELEBRATING 25 YEARS!
Thank you for having the show! I much prefer to see the beads in person, than buying online. At craft shows I get asked by casual beaders where I get my beads and I say "Bead shows!" Keep putting them on!
I LOVE your show!!! It is so organized and stress free. We look forward to coming every year. Thank you for having us!
So wonderful to be with other like minded new friends learning from a talented instructor
Great energy
This was an amazing experience and I look forward to another class in the future. I will definitely be back. These ladies were organized and together and knew their stuff. I had a great time. Thank you very much for your help and patience and educational training. I can’t wait to come back!
Fabulous class with truly professional instructor.
No notes!! The class was perfectly paced and I appreciate more than I can say how much preparation and work you put in to be sure we had everything we needed and would be successful! I still can't believe that all we had to bring to the class was an apron!! Amazing!!
