    I need to bead because I cannot resist buying beads – they are like candy so i have loads of them. And when I see beads lying around I feel a great urge to make something of them – a need to bead!

    I have never worked with beads before but I am interested in learning new crafts and would love to learn more about beading after seeing all the beautiful creation on different craft sites.

    I feel the need to bead because that is my way to express my creativity and to show my interpretation of beauty. I love creating beaded jewelry for my self because it makes me happy and helps me relax and take my mind off of things. I also feel the need to bead and give people gifts of beaded jewelry to see them smile and see them wear some jewelry that makes them feel happy and beautiful.

    Im’ a bead junkie, beads everywhere (even in the bed – don’t talk to my husband.) See my fabulous homemade beadboard at this link: http://lisaoram.com/?p=157. Would love to add either of Katie’s books to my collection. Thanks!

    Those books look awesome…especially for a newbie beader like me!!

    I don’t like my hands to be idle – and do a lot of machine sewing and rubber stamping -neither of which are very portable.

    I find beading to be portable, and show-offable, so I can brag on my mad beading skills – quilts are harder to show off at the office, and you can only stamp so many cards to display on your desk.

    Um….I don’t NEED to bead; I can quit anytime I want ;)

    I’m not sure if my comment went through ok…I was having problems with my Internet connection, but anyway…I feel the need to bead because that is my way to express my creativity and to show my interpretation of beauty. I love creating beaded jewelry for my self because it makes me happy and helps me relax and take my mind off of things. I also feel the need to bead and give people gifts of beaded jewelry to see them smile and see them wear some jewelry that makes them feel happy and beautiful.

    Clearly not “born to bead”–I still chafe at picking up a needle. The “need to bead” has come out of a desire to express myself through the visual arts and a personal love of bling.

  11. Nicole on January 21, 2009 11:26 pm

    i’ve always loved to adorn myself with pretty babbules so i would love to learn how to make my own to flaunt

  16. Jessica on January 23, 2009 1:27 pm

    I just love checking out new beads, testing out supplies… it’s so much fun!

  17. Kat on January 23, 2009 6:05 pm

    I was born to bead because I have always loved jewelry and rocks/stones. Now I can put my two loves together!

  18. jessica c on January 23, 2009 10:11 pm

    I think I need to bead because my friends and family call me a beadophile… :p

  27. Lynn on January 31, 2009 4:07 am

    I love to do bead work!
    I just started beading recently and I just can’t stop! lol!
    Its like its an obsession or something!
    As I bead my project it starts taking a life all its own.
    And Iam always amazed at the beautiful end results!
    This new hobby of mine blows my mind as I finally realize…..”Hey! Iam an artist too!”

    I need to bead, because I saw my mother-in-laws beaded Christmas Ornaments and Angels and fell in love with this artistic endeavor. She told me she fell in love with beads from seeing beautiful necklaces and braclets her daughter had beaded.

  30. Shay Williams on January 31, 2009 7:37 pm

    I would love to win one of these books! They would help with inspiration. I bead so that I can get the images out of my mind to a format that I can show to other people.

  31. Whitney on January 31, 2009 10:05 pm
