Peace, Love & Bead Bloggers (a day early)

I hope everyone is having a great Saturday! I JUST had the light bulb moment I was hoping for!

I've been working on my summer bracelet project and each design was okay, but didn't speak to me at all.

About 10 minutes ago, it finally hit me that I needed to go a completely different direction. So far, it looks like its going to work. However, it's going to take me another day to get this posted!

So, for a special Saturday treat, please join me on a trek through the bead blogs below! :) Enjoy!
