Charms_and_beads

I have my own blog called Charming Beadz which i would like you to visit. It should have been called Charming Beads (with an s instead of z) but that one's been taken. So now I end up using the z instead which makes me look like some young punk, which I can assure you I'm not. By the way, WAZZUP PPL!! I suppose I could have just named it Charms and Beads but how much fun would that be? Anyway, some background.. I am a full time mom living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I've not been working for 4 years now and even though the idea of not having to wake up early and go to work everyday may sound like a dream in the beginning, after 2 years or so.. I did start to wonder if I had made a mistake leaving my job. But wait who am I kidding? I hated my job!! So leaving my job was the best thing that I've ever done, other than having a baby that is. He's 3.5 years old by the way, and he's a pure joy :)

PS : Im new here so please be gentle as i'm not sure if i made this lens properly or not :P

So back to my blog. Occasionally I throw dinner parties, sometimes even formal, fine dining ones, so one time, while preparing for the party, I decided to make my own napkin rings just so I could have something that matches the red glasses I was going to use for that occasion. I happened to be in Bangkok and stumbled upon a huge craft store that sold all sorts of beads. I bought some, came home and made a simple design but yet when used and displayed on the plates, brought absolute charm to my dining table. So it all started from there. I have now created over a dozen designs, some simple, some not so, some made of plastic, others made of crystals... If you enjoy throwing dinner parties like I do (especially themed ones), you might like the idea of having these little fancy rings to beautify your dinner table and impress your guests ;), because as my old friend once said, "because dinner is more than just a meal, it's an experience", oh so true :)
