Hi Gina, what a gorgeous selection of beads and helpful tools. Love those Men in the moon beads. Take care, Amanda xox

My favorites are the moon beads and those daisy disk beads! So gorgeous!

[annettehough]

The man in the moon beads made me smile. What a great theme! They nailed it.

[crystalr]

Lovely colors and so appropriate for the theme. And, yes, your nail color was spot on with the theme! Lol. I like the beads that look like UFOs but haven't done anything with that shape. Great celestial vibe! Thanks for the peek.

Beautiful box as usual, can’t wait to see what you come up with. I think I have some of the man in the moon beads in the clear from a subscription box, might have even been this subscription. TFS

I love this box. It kind of makes me wish I hadn’t skipped it 😢

[francinereider]

Hi Gina. this box is so colorful. Your mat is looking really WOW with the beautiful color. The c-lon size D is that the size for loom beading. Because I have tried it with fireline and it came out bad. I want to do some loom beading. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day.

[estherpennington]

This looks amazing! What a great box! Can you hack order boxes from the past? I wish I could get this exact one.
