Book Review: "Now Face to Face"
Quote of the Day: Pick Your Battles
First I have to tell you -- Cindy made me make a video. I've said I don't like doing blog videos for a number of reasons but well, here you go. You don't know how much I don't want to post this but she thought it would be a good idea. I personally think it's a good example of how being nervous makes me look like a chubby wackadoodle spastic idiot, but well, please be kind.
(Big huge thanks to Kerry Bogert for splicing together all the fuzzy videos I sent her -- my camera isn't the best at video!)
See? I warned you.
It was a lovely trip. Cindy and I met lots of wonderful people, including a friend I met online since my first beading days. I'm afraid of leaving someone out, so please know -- I loved meeting you all, and treasure the memories.
Beadin' Path booth
One of many amazing beads on display in the lobby.
Cindy pinning her city on the map.
What I learned:
1) There's never, ever enough time to look at everything.
2) You may THINK you've gone down that aisle before, but you'll see something new if you go down it again.
3) Don't let Lori have that second glass of wine. Just, don't. Unless you want to see some serious giggling and general ridiculousness happening.
And now, what you've all been waiting for -- the Big Bead Giveaway!
A ceramic pendant from Diane Hawkey, cultured pearls, rose quartz, onyx, goldstone, and darn-it-I-lost-the-tag (but it's a jasper and very cool).
Vintage sequins and a very cool pack of vintage lucite charm drops.
A Green Girl Studios pendant and some large Czech glass earring pairs.
Two strands of Czech glass and some large frosted lucite beads.
A Green Girl Studios bead and a mix of Czech glass Bead Soup.
A Beadin' Path Vinyl Flower kit, fluffy lucite flower petals, and two large lucite flower pendants.
A mix of fluffy lucite petals and leaves from The Beadin' Path and a bottle cap bead (drilled for a necklace) from Glass Garden.
Copper-plated and regular pewter beads.
Vintaj findings, including a pendant I made using their new embosser, and an awesome ImpressArt metal stamp holder by PJ Tool & Supply.
So NINE people will win!
But hey! It gets even better! Not only am *I* having a giveaway, but Cindy is having one, too! So after you leave your comments here, go to her blog by clicking here and comment some more!

Thanks for thinking of us and appearing in the video...even if it wasn't your idea! I loved the pics and your giveaway is awesome, just another way you are thinking of those who didnt' get to go this year.
Oh how I would love to dig through all the goodies at B&B. I could do some serious damage there!
Thanks for the chance to win your giveaway!!!
I'm sure you guys had SOOOOO much fun! I'm so glad she went with you! Thanks for the chance to win!
Oh love that soda pop bead! And the lucite flowers. Its probably a good thing I have never made the show- I would spend too much money. I am already looking at the AD website!
Hope you are feeling better today - thanks for the opportunity to win- WHAT A STASH!!
What fun, thanks for sharing it all with us. Someday, I plan to get to one of these shows so that I can meet you all. Thanks for the goody giveaway too!
Loved hearing about the trip. Incredible giveaway. Hope I am the lucky girl.
Looks like a SPECTACULAR trip, Lori -- and of that whole post, I think I enjoyed seeing your video most of all ... your enthusiasm for all things beading is simply infectious ... in fact, I was debating whether to try to make something tonight, but I think I've just found some new energy!
It was a pleasure to meet you even for a moment in your bottle cap bead bliss. Wish I had gotten a few!! Next year I hope you can make it to the Art Bead Scene dinner- it was a lot of fun!
Beautiful beads! That sounds like a really fun time.
OMG! What an amazing giveaway. I was feeling a little overwhelmed just looking at a couple of pictures - I can't imagine being in those aisles.
Wow! It's fun to see all of the different booths and goodies, I think this now has to go on the beading bucket list of things to do! Thanks for showing us around!
Looks like an amazing trip! Some day! :) Thanks for the chance.
looks like you had a wonderful time at Bead and Button! and you definitely had fun shopping! I would really love to go to bead and button some day....
I blogged here
http://loismoon.blogspot.com/2011/06/pretty-things-and-sweet-bead-studio-are.html
about the giveaway here and at Cindy's site.
What a cute video!
I blogged! :)
I'd love to win! glad you had fun!
Ok, I'm sorry you don't like doing a video, but I love getting to hear your voice finally! It made me feel just a bit like I was there too, so now I'm going over to Cindy and thank her for bullying you! And thank you so much for the giveaway!!
Great video.
I miss the show already. Wish shopping could last longer!
Will be fun to see what you make with your stash.
wow! I wish I could have gone that damage I would have done on my credit cards!!
I would love to win any of these fabulous items. Thanks so much for bringing us along and sharing these awesome goodies with us!!!
What an awesome giveaway!! I love how you are choosing nine winners and not one. I am always happy so see the loot distributed to many winners and not just one.
SO kind and thoughtful!!
Thanks for the video, It was great to see you and part of the show!!

Love the video!!
OMG - Looks like Heaven seriously and your adorable! Not an idiot anywhere in site - your practically bubbling with happiness. You would have had to scrape me off the floor! XO

Awesome.....some day I will get to go...I want to soooo bad! Cool treasures you are sharing...just so cool!!
I'm going to enter since I didn't get to go this year. Glad you had a great time!
Wow, That is alot of loot. You did a fantastic job on the vlog. Looks like you had a lot of fun.
kathy
So many lovely beads & goodies for your giveaway! Sounds like an amazing time, too!! Thanks for sharing!!
Awesome blog and I wished I were there, too. Thank you for sharing and the opportunity to win such goodies!
OK, I LOVE the fact that your shirt matches your hair in the video!! wtg! Awesome Giveaway!
I can't wait to get there myself someday. Thanks for sharing your experiences, and for the chance at this awesome giveaway. :D
Darn. I'm in Chicago and I really should've tried harder to go to the bead show. Looks like a blast. Considered me entered!! - Kathy
That's what is so great about going to swaps and shows with someone. Looking at things through their eyes...something I might of passed up. Plus if they are a treasure hunter that is always a plus. I don't dig much...but I have a friend that is quite the digger and she is rewarded for her efforts. And sometimes I get some of the benefits too.
Glad to hear you were out and about!
Thanks for the visits and leaving a comments. I really appreciate it!
Great eye candy!! Thanks for the post and the giveaway. I'm following you now.

Gorgeous! Thank you for the chance!
Oh my, now *this* is a giveaway! I can't wait to see who wins this one....and of course, I'm hoping it's me :) Thank you for being so generous! It sounds like you had a smashing fun time :)
I agree with Shirley, it's nice to put a voice to the face and I thought the video was awesome☺
I love the video - its fun to hear your voice after reading so many of your words! Looks like a beadin' good time with friends!
Hi Lori,
Loved the video and it looks like both of you had so much fun. I think I want to be you when I grow up! Thanks for thinking of those of us who were not able to attend Bead and Button and for offering this fabulous give away. :)
e-mail: rrunner444@triad.rr.com (just in case)
Wow! Bead&Button looks like a lot of fun. Maybe I can go next year. Great video.
It certainly looks like you had a great time - and bought lots of goodies.
Thanks for being so generous with your give away.
I'll blog about it on my blog.
I know what you mean by seeing something new the 2nd time down an aisle, maybe even a third!
Got called to do out-of-town trainings this week for my part-time job. My guilty pleasure is reading all the blogs esp. this week about the fun at B&B. So thanks for sharing and love the video.
Just posted about the giveaway!
Thanks so much Ladies!
Wow, wow, wow!!! should I say it again! I'm so glad you and Cindy had a great time, and jealous! Love the post and thank you for offering all the great finds for giveaway!! I.want.all.of.them!!!
What a great giveaway! Hopefully, someday I'll get to go too! It's on the bucket list.
Well I loved the video :) so much more personable!
Looks like you both had loads of fun! I'm hoping to make the trip next year!
Hubby did ask me earlier this week when the show was, so I think I might have done enough talking to get him to take me!
OH my gosh, just too much fun !! I will have to plan a trip to that big event even if it is far away from Texas !! I am excited about the giveaway and really excited about the vintage sequins. I just posted in my word press blog about my addiction to sequins, I love them !!
I am glad you had so much fun and can't wait to watch the video !!

I love your video.
Please do more- you have a unique voice and a personality that shines through.
And, I would gladly accept any of your treasures!
Warm regards,
Wow love your loot! I hope your migrain is going away. I enjoyed reading and viewing about your trip to the Bead & Button Show.
Therese
Looks like you had some amazing finds and a great time. I'm so jealous and am hoping to attennd B&B next year. Thanx so much for this great chance to experience the show.
Greta job on the video Lori! I am happy to hear you had a blast at B&B. Hopefully next year we will be able to catch each other in the aisle. I may have even been right next to you and not even know cause I was blinded by all the BEADS!!!
p.s. great stash!
This is amazing! And they're all so pretty!
You got a lot of great things there, and that's so generous of you to share your pictures, your memories, and (of course) your beads! I'd love to go to a Bead & Button show someday. So many wondrous sights!
And, you know, you don't look at all like what you picture yourself, don't worry so much. :)
Thank you so much for sharing your video! I did piano recitals for many years (until my teacher suggested it was too stressful) and can relate to the anxiety. It's great to see your personality!
Oh, shoot! I forgot to wish you continued improvement on your migraine! I hope you continue to improve! (You don't need to publish this, It's just a good wish for your health)
thanks for the video, i don't think i could have done it - same fear and all...
how great you had a good friend to shop with and play beads, too!
i am sooooo drooling right now.....if i went to the B&B show, i'd probably come back minus a kidney, cuz i'd have to sell one to buy more beads!!
owlape@aol.com
Oh you know I'm in on this :D
And I blogged about it :D
Total insanity. But I couldn't possibly win from you a 3rd time! Seriously great stuff :D
Great finds, fun video!
elahnah@aim.com
Wow, this makes me really wish I could have made it -- but alas and alack, the student budget just doesn't allow it! Thanks for giving us a taste of what sounds like an amazing experience!
You always have the greatest time at the bead shows! You chose some beautiful beads for the giveaway...pick me!
You guys are just too darn cute :-)
Looks like you had a great time. I can't imagine how one approaches a fare this size, where to begin? But most importantly how to stop buying beads!!! Impossible.
Wow, wow, wow - the beads you've picked are amazing, stunning and I so wanna have them:-)
Fantastic giveaway Lori! I loved the vidio clip, I can understand why you don't like doing them but it was really nice to watch and your hair looks even more fab in the clip!
Have a lovely day
Niky xxx
It looks like you guys had an awesome time!! And thanks so much for the video, having never been to the show it was really fun to see all the excitement bubbling up in you two! Thanks so much for the give-away!
Amazing trip, nice pictures - great give away!! I blogged it too at wwww.glaszwerg.blogspot.com. Have a nice day! Greetings, Doris
Lori, you're adorable and so real and true to yourself. You and Cindy did a great job together. B&B looks exhausting and so much fun. I doubt I'll ever have an opportunity to go so I appreciate you posting about it.
The bead give away is..so....huge and exciting. I posted on Facebook too. Thank you and good luck to all.
Only 20 comments for such an awesome giveaway??? I have close to 300 posts in my RSS feed, and I know this is one, but I followed a link from Lois Moon's Que Onda Q'town blog just so I wouldn't miss this.
Looks like you and Cindy had a great time.
OMG! Lori! I love the video. It made me feel as though I was there with you and Cindy! Next year for sure! I'm off to blog about your giveaway!
I would love to win!!
One day I hope to make it there! What a friend Cindy is....what fun you must have had! Sharing your giveaway on my blog!

Wow, fab giveaway. That show must be just amazing!
You ladies definitely had a great time! I enjoyed reading about the show on both your blogs! And I also felt a little (weeellllll, a lot) pang of envy and sadness for not being able to attend to this kind of shows!
Your sharing the wealth makes up for that a million times!
Thanks!
Jana
Wow - the giveaway is just amazing! I'd like to have the chance to win it - or is it just for other blogger?

I thought the video was cool. What great treasure! Also I would like to be entered in the blog give away and if I get my blog up and running before the final date I will certainly blog about it.
oh crap I forgot to add my email address which is naturaltreasuresbydeb@gmail.com
Ok, I wanna win the lot!
There is so much awesomeness at Bead and Button. I went several years ago...don't think I slept much for the 4 days I was there. Looks and sounds like it's even bigger and better this year. Your giveaway is a lovely slice of awesomeness, too. Thanks for sharing your view of the world with us. Your blog is always an interesting, enjoyable read.
