Happy Friday, everybody!

We are so appreciative that you read our magazine, receive our email newsletters, scope out this blog from time to time, and are otherwise involved and invested in BeadStyle magazine. We would like to extend an invitation to you to turn our already-wonderful friendship into a "friend"-ship.

Not to sound too first-day-of-kindergarten, but BeadStyle has a question for all of you: Will you be our friend?

I am referring to the world of Facebook. We are up and running on that social site under the name BeadStyle Mag. Search for us at facebook.com and friend us! We'd love to get to know you better!

We'll post fun pictures, projects, and other links to our Facebook page, so don't miss out on this great "friend"-ship!

Our current status: BeadStyle Mag is obsessed with the "cursed necklace" in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." Has anyone seen a better image of it than this? 

If you have a better photo than this one, let us know! It would be fun to try to make something inspired by that movie necklace.

And as you're making plans to hang out with family and friends this summer weekend, don't forget to friend BeadStyle Mag!
