Be careful which beads you send to people who love you! I sent my mother some UGLY beads (that had been "over polished in an unsuccessful attempt to make them pretty - NOT!) that she could use as novel decoration in her garden. Did they go in her garden??? NOOOOOOO. Instead she made a necklace out of them ALL and wears it around. When I go to visit, I hear many a "so you're the beadmaker....hmmm...they are very unique." Although I have tempted mom with some decent sets, she still has that fricken fracken ugly garden bead necklace. I won't be out to Washington until next summer.....so embarrassed!
