    Bead Bar Date with Sister and Daughter

    The young lady who was assisting us was so kind and helpful. She was very patient and helpful when my daughter was having a hard time trying to insert the wire into the smaller beads. There were so many different beads, colors and charms that it was such a fantastic time.
