Bijoux in a Box: DIY Beaded Jewelry, Crafts, and More
http://www.bijouxinabox.blogspot.com
This is the blog for Bijoux in a Box (www.bijouxinabox.com),the premier source for DIY beaded jewelry and crafts. In this blog, we talk about parties, parenting and life. My focus is on the social aspects of parties and how we can use parties as opportunities for social skill building (parents and kids!) Bijoux in a Box projects are great for parties, affordable and offer really nice materials and can be customized for party theme. They don't require any special jewelry-making skills or tools.
