You might have read my recent post about shopping carts and how long we leave items in them.
Well here are a few I've had in my shopping cart at the Book Depository for a few months and as I type the first three are hopefully making their way from the UK to me here in Australia!
The last one I ended up ordering from the US as a friend was placing an order and with the dollar being so awesomely awesome right now I ordered that too!
I am so excited as I have had my eye on these books for some time now.
So here is what I bought.
This book is a complication of designs from previous issues of Bead & Button magazine.
I took advantage of the ''Look Inside'' feature and there are some stunning designs, including the peyote links on the front cover, which I can't wait to tackle.

I am soooo excited to be ordering this book. A few of my friends own this book and said it ''blew their mind'' when they received it!
The beads on the front cover alone are enticing enough so I can't wait to flick through the pages of this one.

I don't own Laura McCabe's previous book, Creating Crystal Jewelry, as I have never really worked with Swarovski crystals... until recently!
But as I love beadweaving I thought this one would be right up my alley!
No doubt I will come away with a lot of new skills from this one!

Marcie of La Bella Joya recently invited me to take part in her Margie and Me challenge where she picks a colour palette from Margie Deeb's book and then creates a piece using those colours.
I absolutely cannot wait to take part... what a fantastic concept not to mention a great way to get me to use colour combinations I would not normally dare to use.
Thanks Marcie! My book has hit Australian shores so I should be receiving it on Tuesday!
