I hope you had a great 4th of July. Coop and I decided to be lazy and we didn't do a darned thing. It was wonderful!!!

Now that we've survived the holiday and all the Michael Jackson newscasts it's time to get back to beading. As soon as I send this newsletter I'm going to work on a new bracelet design that has been in my mind for weeks. How about you? What are you working on?

I uploaded two new Southwest design e-books today. I promise I'll get out of this Southwest obsession soon. OK, maybe not too soon! I can't help myself. I love this type of design.

I have some beadylicious eye candy for you today. Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the goodies.

Till next time, bead well.
