Bead Blogger Round up

This is my dad!

Guess what his favorite Christmas present was that I gave him???

Yup, Chain Style.

and he even made me sign it! :)



And it was so cute, you know what he asked me?
"Lor, whatever happened to the Bead Star competition? When can I see the winners for that? I've been trying to see them on the website for weeks!"
I've gotta send him the Bead Star mag so he can see if anyone that he voted for, won! Too sweet. My dad, he's so supportive!
