Scary Eggplant

I thought these Cousin Corp. beads were pretty when I opened up my goodie bag of beads to use in a Halloween project. However...

It's funny when you are designing a "scary" craft or jewelry project, perfectly happy eggplanty beads seem to take on a menacing, dark vibe!

Another lesson in perspective :)

Speaking of Cousin, I've been talking about them quite a bit since they have so generously supplied me with plenty of fab products to play with.

I wanted to share a little inside info from the latest Craft & Hobby Association magazine. This is an excerpt from a story on family businesses in the crafting industry. You know I just LOVE a great success story, especially one that centers around crafts! Enjoy!
