Good morning...
Before I get started on this post, I have to say I was glued to the inauguration yesterday. It was fabulous and it feels good to have a new president. Wasn't Aretha's hat the best? I think I was drooling as she sung, I liked it so much. I wish I could pull something off like that.

I was asked to be a sponsor for the Bead Cruise 2009. I was honored to be asked, plus it just sounded like fun. There are seventy people going on this cruise and they will be taking classes and doing fun bead things while on a cruise. Sounds like heaven to me. Too bad it's already sold out, but you can get your name on a list for next year. Anyway, the seventy participants get a goody bag when they arrive. I am sending beads but as you know beads are small and I didn't want them to get lost. My solution was to have these postcards printed up. They have a spot in the middle where the actual bead hangs, the back has my contact information, and then they are in cellophane envelopes. I am really happy with how they turned out. I think I am going to get more printed up for future use. I just thought I would share them with you.
