re: The Artful Crafter…I rec’d a bead spinner for my birthday 2 summers ago. I have everything in a bag – -booklets, beads, small kits but I don’t know how to use it. I went to a bead shop in the area hoping to take my 1st ever class but the lady said she didn’t know much about it, so I never made much progress. The Christmas tree looked very cute. Hopefully, one day I will learn how to use my bead spinner and start crocheting some cool necklaces!
