[Nfb-krafters-korner] Laurie and Lynda's fault

[River Woman]

I agree that a budget is necessary. At least it is for me, since I do 
everything with enthusiasm.  I also go with a certain kind of bead or 
project in mind, something I want to concentrate on when browsing through 
the zillions of beads there.  I also limit myself to only one bead show a 
year. I have to admit that I have enough beads in my studio to last me for 
years to come. I have a bead and yarn addiction and I have no desire for an 
intervention of any sort for my addictions.  smile. Lynda River Woman
