Kristal Wick’s Picks is Back!

One of my fave things to write about when I was the Editor of BeadingDaily.com was sharing special finds, tips, and secret stuff with all my bead peeps! After quite a few inquiries in the past weeks I’ve decided to continue with this tradition. I’ll include all things beady (of course) and spice it up with more interesting tidbits of information and give-aways! What are your faves? Post your thoughts here and win some GREAT goodies from my private stash and my fave beady folks!

MARTHA, MARTHA, MARTHA!

Here’s a sneak peek at my whirlwind trip to NYC to be at the Martha Stewart show! Martha’s producers called my dear friend Linda Hartung (www.WireLace.com) last week to let her know they were creating a necklace with her project for Martha to do on the show. Linda invited me to come along for the great adventure!

I was lucky enough to sit in the front row of the audience and have a few moments to chat with Martha.

More about my great adventures with Martha in the big apple coming soon….

We were so lucky to have a meeting with Martha’s craft gurus in their “craft room” yesterday. They call is a craft room, I call it craft heaven! Martha Stewart-organized with everything you could possibly need clearly labeled. Come take a peek with me!
