Our family is dealing with Alzheimer's Disease... it is a completely devastating disease, awful for the victim, worse for the family, and especially hard for the care-givers. My grandmother has it, my husband's father has it. My step grand-father has it, my step brother is a medical student and has decided he is going to devote his career to ( Read more... )

awesome! I have been wanting to get one of your beads for my beaded journal project but have to figure one that will fit with my theme... this will motivate me a bit more. My dad and Shawn are both so fearful of this disease. My paternal grandma had it. great idea. Kudos

my husband is also very fearful, I'm trying not to look at it that way though, even though I'm surrounded by it from all sides it seems.

Good news, husband just told me his company will match my donation, so if I get $500, it will turn into $1000!

And yay, I wonder what bead you will end up with. I'm thinking my beads are kind of big and heavy for a journal project... maybe I should try to make some smaller ones too. BTW, those beaded journal pages you guys (you and enchy) are doing are amazing - love love them!

thanks for the props on the beaded journal pages. they have been a new challenge for me. I am really liking my current one. the problem with using one of your beads is that one of the sides would be hidden from view. your beads really deserve to be on jewlery that flows and moves. Some of your full jewlery pieces really do catch my eye.

oh, well, most of my beads really do have a better side. I don't mind if one side gets hidden. LOL.
