This week, in addition to taking one last look at the pages of BeadStyle's January issue before it heads to the printer, I start editing the 2010 Bead&Button Show class catalog. "But the Bead&Button Show is months away," you say. Is it, or is it right around the corner? Here are some upcoming dates to keep in mind:

    - Now: Preorder your Bead&Button Show class catalog. The catalogs are expected to ship December 18.

    - January 12, 2010: Online class registration opens.

    - April 5, 2010: Deadline for submitting Bead Dreams entries. Check out the new wirework category!

If the economy is a big consideration for next summer's plans, now is the time to start making plans and budgeting for the 2010 Bead&Button Show. Go to BeadAndButtonShow.com for more info!
