Win a trip to the Carribean Blues !

Actually, the carribean blues can come to you, if you win the contest. The bead selected will be the waves bead. By a narrow margin it garnered the most votes. No hanging chads or Florida style re-counts necessary.

This will be the bead.

The contest will be this.....

I donated two beads to a charity and they were used to adorn two items. These items were useful for something else. Tell me what that is and the bead is yours.

If necessary, I will provide clues....

First clue- no wait, not yet......

Good luck to all !
