Sisterhood of the Traveling Bead Box!!!!

It's here! It's here!! It's here!!! Holy moly, I about died when I saw the mail lady pull in my driveway and drop this BIG box of beady bliss off at my door. Especially when I went to pick it up and realized how heavy it is! And then I opened it up and I think my eyes glazed over...IT'S PACKED, no really like super duper packed to the brim, to the verge of exploding...it's beyond pleasantly plump, this sucker is P-A-C-K-E-D!


(I snagged this picture of the box from Tracey's blog, I'll get some of my own pics of this beauty up soon!)


It's only been with me a day but I have been taking my time going through every nook and cranny, every baggy and box and enjoying reading the journal and the entries from all the sisters before me.

I have a HUGE stash of baggies full of really pretty artisan beads (including a ton of my own lampwork) as well as strands of beads and clasps and wire and what nots that I've decided to put in before I send it on it's way. I'm still taking my time and really thinking about each piece I may take out to keep. There's just so much! It's a bit overwhelming in a really blissful way.

Do you want a piece of the Sisterhood action? Do you have blog to host the giveaway from if you are chosen to be the next to receive the box? if you answered "YES!" to both of those questions then keep reading and follow the directions below for your chance to dive into this box of bead heaven next...

I have been following the box almost since it began and I have yet to lure it to S. Georgia. But now that Spring Break is here, maybe this will urge it toward warm weather and beaches.

I somehow lost track of where this traveling bead box was. I am so glad to see that it is continuing! I wonder how long it can keep going. I would be delighted to be counted in the sisterhood!
Enjoy the day!

How fun it must have been to open that box! I would imagine it would be like the excitement of Christmas Morning.

I'd love to get my own peek at this traveling treasure.
