Amuse Your Muse Monday with Rebecca of Songbead

Hello everyone! I hope you're having a great April. I can't believe we're nearly halfway through it already. Not least because it's my birthday in two days....feel free to send beads!

Watery beads this month! And thank-you to Sarajo for sharing this beautiful necklace she created using one of Jade Scott's cloud pendants. 

Speaking of clouds, I thought you might like to see this wooden cloud - I shared one last week but missed this one with the sun peeking out behind. How cute!
