Welcome friends to issue #27
      Happy New Year! My New Years resolution is to organize my bead collection. Yes; I know that was last years' resolution but I really mean it this time! I do!
      This issue features some cold weather cuties such as Linda Hampton's Snow Bunny earrings and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough's little Cold Heart snowflake charms. We welcome Darling Oakes with her embellished peyote bracelet: Crocus in the Snow. There's a bit of romance too as Barb Nichols cleverly layers a RAW heart bracelet for Valentine's Day while I charted a peyote heart vine. Michelle also explored RAW making a set of bold garnet links. Learn Micro Macrame with Dottie Hoeschen's bracelet project - more beads than knots! Sandra Halpenny's Midnight Lace necklace is simply stunning. Linda Gettings mixes fire-polished and hex beads for a luscious herringbone cuff. Enjoy!    Deb Moffett-Hall - Editor
