IBP Jewelry with Callie from The Bead Farm

If you like making jewelry, consider yourself a bead "collector" or even appreciate a handmade jewelry piece, then you will love Callie from The Bead Farm. This local shop happens to be one of my favorite go-to Girls Night Out locations. No need to invest in the tools and beads just to have them sit in a box at home, learn why making a date with a favorite local shop is a lot less expensive and more fun. Be sure to like The Bead Farm on Facebook and check below for other posts about the fun projects I have created over the years with Callie's help.

Here's some blog posts I've done about The Bead Farm...like I said I'm a huge fan!!

Join me next Thursday for another great IBP episode!

Disclaimer: Pinterest is a great place to find inspiration but not all pins lead to blogs. I tried to only pick those ideas that I could find the original creator and give credit to. Please take a moment and check out these great blogs because without them I wouldn't have content to talk about on the new My Craft Channel show Inspired by Pinterest.

If you've never been to Pinterest and would like to check it out, you need an invite to the site to gain access (I don't know why). Just leave me a comment with your email and I'll send you an invite. However, I cannot be responsible for the time you will be spending on Pinterest!!
