The last batch of paper beads from Paper Bead Trade participants came yesterday. I have about 18 now, not counting myself, Kayla and my sister, Joann. If I’m missing anyone it will just probably from two participants, and if I’m not mistaken I will get those in a couple of days. Anyway, I will start to send out the kits tomorrow and the rest by Monday, sorry for little delay.
Karina, who is a regular at my shop did quite a few, of all shapes and colors, she even included some buttons and charms, how sweet is that?

Silver charms that would be a good addition to your paper beads

She already strung and color coordinated this strand, love the pastel colors.
