June Challenge

Welcome everyone to a brand new challenge here on Beading Friends Forever. I am so pleased that there are so many of you sharing your beautiful creations with us every month on this blog and also on our Facebook Group. We almost have 300 members now .... that is a lot of inspiration and help..... plus friendship.

As many of you know our challenge is split into 2 parts - a theme and a tutorial. You can enter 3 times for each part which means you can enter 6 times in total. All the rules are in the sidebar for you to follow.

We are fortunate to have another £15 voucher for one lucky winner chosen at random to spend at Beads Direct. Many thanks to Beads Direct for their sponsorship of our challenge each month :) Make sure you visit their website which is full of fabulous products and tutorials.
