Hi Everyone!
The challenge is officially launched!
We have a total of 10 entries this time. I love the range of entries - each captures the season perfectly and there are some very original ideas. Truly inspiring - choosing your favourite is not going to be easy ... There are only two entries in the Beginners Category (No. 3 and No. 6) so each has a pretty good chance of winning!
To view the entries, please go over to our Facebook page
Once you have chosen your favourite from each category, please email your 2 choices to us at info@beadsgalore.co.nz , or post your vote right here on our blog. All votes must include your name and email address, plus a few words explaining your reason for each choice.
The entries with the most votes in each category by 5pm on May 8th will be the winners.
Please refer to the list of guidelines on our website if you require further information on voting, or any aspect of the challenge.
So, it's time to choose your favourite and get those votes in!
Happy Beading and Voting!!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
Seasons Greetings!
2010 has been great in many ways - busy, challenging and full of delightful moments thanks to all the lovely, clever and inspiring bead and jewellery artists I have had the privilege to deal with throughout the year :-)
Our beading challenges have been really successful and it has been such an honour to have all you talented people involved. The feedback has been fantastic, so I've decided to continue in 2011 with beading challenges in April and October. That should give everyone plenty of time to design and create!
The subdued economy has resulted in lower sales these last 2 years, but we're still ticking over and gradually adding new lines. After 4 1/2 years of trading, Beads Galore is well established and I look forward to continuing to serve new and existing customers in the best way possible, whilst increasing and diversifying our product range.
I wish you and your loved ones a very special Christmas, as well as happiness and prosperity in 2011.
Blessings,
Jo :-)
