I love, love, love the designs and the comprehensive step-by-step directions in Bead Style! And my family and friends look forward to the next gift-giving holiday because they know that I'll be giving them new creations modeled after the over 30 projects featured in each issue! Plus these projects are easy to do in an evening or weekend, so I can take care of Christmas gifts months ahead of time. People are always asking me where I got my jewelry and are amazed when I say that I made it myself from ideas that I get from Bead Style!
