Hi Im new here....and to the world of beads...

 Welcome Kaela to Beading Daily!

I checked out your website and you are doing very well to have just started! I don't sell really but hope to eventually just to be able to buy more stuff! And YES it gets very expensive and I think most of us fell into the "inexpensive hobby" idea with beading and boy were we wrong!

This site offers plenty of good info and there's always the forums to ask for any help you may need with anything.

Hope to see you around often!

Thanks:) yes it is a very expensive hobby....lol. when i make the stuff i really dont want to sell it but in order to buy more beads and such i have to be able to sell them. But i have kept quite a few for my self...:) I have read a few things about earings in the last few days and they dont look so hard afterall, actually pretty simple if you dont get too detailed. I found FireMountain gems and they have a good selection of earing findings, right now im just going to start out with some of the plain chandelier styles that come in bulk and then i just need some headpins and the fishhook findings and i am all set. I added it up and it should come to about $35 on firemountain for all that stuff and it would have been a lot more expensive at the craft store, now i just need to sell a few more things to get some more money on my paypal card so i can buy stuff off firemountain. do you guys know of any other bead/findings websites with good deals? I would be interested to see what other websites have, just want to keep my options open. also in the paper i found this thing for an arts and crafts thing going on near me and they are looking for venders.....so that might be something for me to look into as well, i might make more sales that way. This beading thing is starting to get really fun and exciting, its like all i can think about...lol. ~Kaela
