It’s been a heck of a week with Hurricane Katrina, the soaring gas prices and all the negative media attention. . . . .better we bead! And better to buy bead goodies with a special to brighten up the day. We know how you love our clasps. . . . so we are offering 10% off all clasps. That’s right it’s the popular ”Clasp Special”. But hurry, this offer is only good until September 15th. To take advantage of the special, simply write the words “Clasp Special” in the comment section during checkout.
Alice and Kevin on Skidoo Okay, I know that summer is at its end and Labor Day is here, but I had to slip in a photo of Alice on the “Skidoo”. (This is what she calls a jet ski.) She looks pretty good out there with her famous goggles, don’t ya think? You know that she’s not on that skidoo with Al. . . . Humm, who could that handsome man that’s giving Alice a ride be?
