New Article - Beading Parties

So I wrote up an article to help everyone plan a better beading party. I hope you all find it helpful. Enjoy!

 In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted to design a simple bracelet, called "Think Pink", we can all wear to show our support for the brave ladies who have struggled with this disease.
