Hi Everyone!
It's getting to be about time for the big winter carnival up here, Fur Rondy. I'm looking forward to seeing all the beadwork that is sold by local artists and entered in the local competitions. My teens are looking forward to being on the carnival rides in frigid temperatures. BRRR!

Here's the latest article from the Beadwork site at BellaOnline.com.
