Love You, BABE!

Oh my gosh, BABE 2008 was amazing!  And if you're not in the know, BABE is the Bay Area Bead Extravaganza.  My husband and I (yes, I know, I have a superstar husband) went to BABE on Saturday...and we were OVERWHELMED.  Everything was so shiny and pretty!  :)  I guess that's the point, right?  

I was actually SO overwhelmed, that I didn't end up buying anything (which is totally unbelievable, if you were to see all the beautiful things I could've bought) until the very end when my husband encouraged me to buy a book...a book by Christi Friesen.  

We actually got to see Christi Friesen in action during a demonstration she gave at the show...she made one of her Steampunk Hearts for us, and my husband got in on the action when he helped her condition her clay!  Christi has a lot of great ideas for Polymer Clay, so I'm really excited about her book.  

A few of the other exciting things from the show I will just list here, and you can check them out yourself.  


Check out these sites and find some new, fun stuff, and definitely hit BABE next year!
