Monthly Activities and Updates!

Since our last monthly report, Beads in a Box has continued staying busy filling orders for the Bazangles.  One is almost ready for an art gallery in North Carolina. We’ve been in major Sandhill Crane production. We took cranes to the Museum of Nebraska Art (MONA), the Holiday Inn Gift Shop, the Rowe Sanctuary in Gibbon and Grand Island GROW stores in the malls.  We’ve been invited to put our inventory in the GROW store in the Eppley Airport in Omaha.  That order is about to go out.  

During our March board meeting, the Nebraska Historical Society stopped in, bought Bazangles and some Something For Everyone jewelry AND asked us to create some exclusive Nebraska items for their stores all over the state.  BAZINGA!  That is on the front burner and will be tackled after the Signs of Spring Craft and Trade Show on April 14^th.

Barb Roebuck formed a team to sell bracelets for the Feed My Starving Children fundraiser and we’ll start making them up by special order real soon.   

Janice and our volunteers just finished 140 bracelets for the S.A.F.E. Center and their big fundraiser is coming up.  We hope they do well.   

Since last publication, we’ve recruited TWO new volunteers and we seem to be able to keep them and everyone else who is willing busy.   

2012 Signs of Spring Craft Show

The craft show signs are up so now we mean business.  It is going to happen whether I feel we are ready or not.  There is so much busy-work to it; the booth numbers have been assigned, and we’ve broken our record.  As of the end of March, we have 193 booths, and we are expecting more! That’s the largest number yet.  We are always looking for volunteers in the Beads in a Box booth.  If you are interested in volunteering and receiving jewelry for payment, contact me soon. 

    Tootles for now, Kyla
