hi ! i'm new here at beadstyle. ive brought 2 beadstyle mags & i try to create the ones i like w/the current materials i have. im not that creative so i try to imitate the ones i see.  instructions are easy to follow & i dont get frustrated trying to achieve the look i want. i hope & pray to come up w/ my own ideas soon.  i got laid off from my work last february & i took up basic beads class from the local government near our place.  i would like this to be my source of income but I have LOTS TO LEARN.  since im a beginner, i ended up buying lots of plastic beads that i really dont need at all or ive brought too much.  so im trying to use them up by creating 1 style in different colors. i just stay at home now & take care of my 2 daughters aged 8 & 4. by the way, pardon if my english is not very good or correct.  well, im sure will be here in this site often since the mags here cost almost 150pesos or i think $3...without a job, thats expensive. great to find your site...LOVE IT ! (im also not sure if i posted this in the right place...forgive me...i also have to learn going around this site-not very good at it yet...will learn soon! have a grat day !)
