Bead cruising to a private island

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Beat the wintry blues with a crafty tropical cruise!

Come sail away...

Come sail away...

How about talking DS (dear spouse) into a getaway trip for your holiday gift?  The Bead Cruise will spoil you like a Princess, though it’s actually a Royal Caribbean boat :)

Some of the big names in craft jewelry will be aboard to teach you.  How about workshopping with color expert Margie Deeb, “Beads, Baubles and Jewels” regular Mary Hettmansperger, Barb Switzer, Beverly Herman and our own blog partner Melanie Brooks?

Not to mention stops at a private island and in the Virgin Islands.  And gift bags, workshops, cocktails, along with all the comforts of luxury cruising.

Here’s the website to “accidentally” leave up on the computer for your significant other to see…www.beadcruise.com :)
