I have so many beads and couldnt tell you where 99% of them came from. I scour the listings, go to the stores, etc etc.. I am a craft and artaholic. I get in the whatever groove- beads lets say- and just go WAY overboard. Kinda like hoarder but not. IF i can find the boxes that have some of my beads in...(I moved toCA 2 years ago in Dec) boxes in the shed I had to have built to house some of the stuff i moved here, then i will be able to post some more neat stuff. I am so so bad.... lol.
