Well, I've talked about doing this, and I guess that I'm finally doing this.

Let me start by telling you who I am. My name is Debra Pyeatt, and I am a beader ("Hello Debra" - I feel like I'm at a beader's anonymous meeting). I've been beading since around 1993. Since moving to Wilmington, NC, I've found that a lot of local beaders have no idea of what beady things are happening in the area, and are unsure of where to go on the internet to find out these things. So whenever I find out about local bead shows, bead contests, bead sales, etc., I want to post the info so that you won't miss out on this stuff.

Also, I'm new to this blogging stuff, so I may make mistakes from time to time, so please bear with me.
