A beady Christmas The holidays are here, a time for reflection, gratitude, and good cheer. A time to gather with friends and family to show how much we appreciate them. A time to let bygones be bygones and spread goodwill far and wide (have I got you thinking about Jimmy Stewart in “It’s a Wonderful Life” yet?). This year, we’re adding a bit of beaded joy to all of our packages and cards with a series of 12 easy-to-make gift ideas that you’ll find right in the middle of the special pull-out booklet, “Your Guide to a Sparkling Holiday.” Besides these gift toppers and stocking stuffers, this booklet also features a beautiful necklace, a bracelet, earrings, and an ornament, all crafted with care using Swarovski crys-tals and pearls. And because we are so grateful to you, our dear readers, this issue has additional beautiful projects, helpful info, and inspiring designs to keep your beading fingers busy in the com-ing months. On behalf of the entire Bead&Button staff, we wish you a very happy holiday season! As always, I hope you’ll play along with our Find the Bead Strand challenge. Email me by January 8, 2017, with the page the strand is on (put “Find the bead strand” in the subject line). We’ll pick a winner the following week. Congratulations to Susie Denning of Cape Town, South Africa, who won our August issue contest after finding the strand on p. 76!
