Show Me Sunday


 
Thank you to the commenters who left links so we could find these treasures to show off!
 
Show Me Bead School! 
 
For September, to celebrate the start of back-to-school, we are looking for classes, tutorials, and workshops that focus on bringing your art beads and beading to a new level of art. Post your links in the comments here and I will select some of your ideas you leave on this post to highlight in another Show Me Sunday post.
