I am too late to vote, but if I saw this earlier I sure would have voted.&amp;nbsp; I really like this piece.&amp;nbsp; Its so very stylish and clever.&amp;nbsp; I love the proportions of the large sqaure stones set against the smaller stones and beads. You did a great job with balancing the whole piece, it is so very elegant. I am sure you did well.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kristie - I love yellow, too.&amp;nbsp; When I was a teen, I painted the kitchen at home.&amp;nbsp; Mom wanted a soft yellow, but I said since I was doing the work, I wanted a &lt;b&gt;bright&lt;/b&gt; yellow!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I love the colors! SO pretty, and the stones are are awesome too! I really like how you did the 2 strands of crystals on either side, it looks so cool!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, I have to admit that I love playing with yellow just because it&amp;#39;s so bright and cheery lol. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Please vote for me - Yikes, voting closes Tues, May 29, 11:59 PDT</title><link>http://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/thread/164091.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 May 2012 06:27:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e599e337-6bb7-4670-8e80-180f614937ac:164091</guid><dc:creator>KipperCat</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/thread/164091.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&amp;PostID=164091</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;I wish!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Please vote for me - Yikes, voting closes Tues, May 29, 11:59 PDT</title><link>http://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/thread/164087.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 May 2012 02:49:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e599e337-6bb7-4670-8e80-180f614937ac:164087</guid><dc:creator>Valbeads</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/thread/164087.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&amp;PostID=164087</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Can I vote more than once?&amp;nbsp; &amp;#39;Cuz I will!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Please vote for me - Yikes, voting closes Tues, May 29, 11:59 PDT</title><link>http://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/thread/164082.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 28 May 2012 22:41:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e599e337-6bb7-4670-8e80-180f614937ac:164082</guid><dc:creator>KipperCat</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/thread/164082.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&amp;PostID=164082</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you!&amp;nbsp; And I think you&amp;#39;re right about the yellow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Please vote for me - Yikes, voting closes Tues, May 29, 11:59 PDT</title><link>http://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/thread/164081.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 28 May 2012 22:07:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e599e337-6bb7-4670-8e80-180f614937ac:164081</guid><dc:creator>Valbeads</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/thread/164081.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&amp;PostID=164081</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;I voted for you!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For some reason, I assumed a longer voting period, and was going to wait until after Memorial Day - glad I thought to check today.&lt;/p&gt;
