LimaBeads Challenge!

I am at it again, but this time, I have teamed up with my blog friend Shannon Chomanczuk of ForMySweetDaughter. We went over to LimaBeads.com and did some shopping and the nice folks at Limabeads  (Kevin, Aly and Cathy, THANK YOU!) agreed to put together our choices into kits for our readers to easily participate in this online design challenge.   
                                    
Nothing challenging about it really, you just buy the kit and make something pretty with the beads. We'll all blog about our finished pieces on a set date!

The idea of this challenge is to each have the same components and beads, and then we each make something of our own imaginations, which shows the versatility of the beads chosen.

KITS WILL BE AVAILABLE  TODAY THURSDAY SEPT 8th!

HERE IS THE KIT LINK!

FAQS:

The kits will be available on a first-come first-served basis. There are quite a few kits available, but if you want to participate, I suggest you head over to purchase your kit as soon as you can.

You MUST use at least some of the beads in the kit. Feel free to substitute your own beads into your project. 
You may use an additional pendant with the Vintaj Scrollwork pendant or you can substitute something else in place of it if you want.
You can substitute a different clasp if you'd rather use something else but we really liked this one from MissFickleMedia.

You can make as many pieces as you want with the beads. There are a lot of beads in the kit! Feel free to make as much as you want, or just one piece. Where'ver your muse takes you!
