Made it just by the skin of my teeth. I sent you an e-mail just now Marcy with a photo of the 125 beads I'm donating + 3 butterfly beads. It says on page 1 to post my info to the blog, but I don't see where to do that. Help!!

A general BOC question: How many artisan style beads does the BOC typically receive in a month?

Hi Sarah, I have no idea. Perhaps Robert Simmons or Lori Greenberg who are on their Board know the answer. Robert?

Marcy, it was extremely generous for you to do all of this & I applaud each and every person that submitted beads. I'm computer illerate, but my main reason for making beads is to give to BOC. I'm so glad you used great prized to get beadmakers to really crank out the bouty of beads!

Popping in to add my thanks to those of the others. Marcy, what a wonderful thing you started. I thank you & also Kristina. I received my critter tutorial today. I've never been much into sculptural beads...prefer to leave that to the experts. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. But these look so darn cute that I'm anxious for my next opportunity to get on the torch & try them out. Thank you both & all the others that so generously donated prizes & beads.

& did you all know that Kristina donates 60% of the proceeds from the sale of the workbook to BOC? That's awesome Kristina!

Yay Kristina. I did not know that. Kristina is a sweetheart. Lea, thanks for pointing it out. And as one who is very partial to sculptural beads, I can't wait to see what you do!

I think the amount of beads from month to month varies...based on who is doing something special to get the word out.
Last year we received (and used) 41,000 handmade glass beads. This year we will need double that, as it looks like we have doubled our size in the last year and there is no end to it in sight.
Yay!
Thank you everyone!

So, this drive helped push us all to send in over 30% of last year's haul in one month!
That is fantastic!

Hi Michelle,
I am so sorry, I messed up and didn't draw a name for your prize. But I kept everything and went back to the random number generator and Irene Giorgio (Reenie) is the winner of your wonderful murrini prize. Do you need her email addy to contact her and get her snail mail address? Thank you so much for coming back and offering. I really appreciate it. And my apologies to everyone else for missing this wonderful prize.
take care,
Marcy
