He just has to "remind" me that I had said that "Three beads will be enough..."
So? At the time I thought that 3 was all I wanted... Aren't I allowed to change my mind? Isn't it a woman's perogative?! Ok, maybe I'm addicted, I admit it!
It all started last summer, with three beads! Went out and bought the bracelet, 2 locks and a charm; my sleeping cat. I was so happy with my bracelet and my cute kitty...
There were other beads that I liked but I didn't want more than what I had. Was I wrong? Or what?! Everytime we go into that part of town, we "have" to go in that shop... well I do. My husband goes into a bike shop a few doors down and I go directly to the Chamilia counter... can't help it! I simply look at the selection and pick out the ones I like. There are so many! Most of the time hubby will come in and say something like: "So which one did you pick this time?" I'll show him my favorites and then he'll say: "Get it! You want it, so get it while they have it" ... and I usually do...
Yesterday I got a really nice one, 3 color rings (like Cartier) PLUS I put in an order for a bracelet with a gold snap. I wanted to have a bracelet with all gold charms and one for the silver ones... I know, I know, I'm spoiled... I really enjoy my bracelet and my beads!
As of yesterday I have 16 beads (including locks and spacer) plus a pair of earings on which you can put beads - 2 more beads on there. Told you it has become an addiction! It's serious! Especially since some of those beads are NOT cheap! I keep a spreadsheet of my beads (with my "wish list", just in case someone would want to give me a present that I would be sure to love!) and I'm always surprised when I do the sum of how much we've spent so far... It goes fast! REALLY fast!
I've spent much time "reconfiguring" my bracelet... I like things to be even, or balanced so at times when adding a new bead I had to do some serious thinking of how I wanted it to look...
It's weird how I just realised that the older I get the more "girly" I'm becoming...
All this to say that originally I only wanted 3 beads... oh well!
Here's my bracelet (after I've removed all gold beads):

I have no idea what these "beads" are that you're talking about! How about a photo?
You can click on the link "Chamilia" in my post. It will bring you directly to their wedsite where you'll see all their beads, etc. Go into catalog and from there you'll be able to see everything Chamilia. It's an addiction I tell you!
Thanks for the pic. Can't wait to see the new gold bracelet!
