I ordered out before the group... Embarassed

so no discount for me... Ouch

cause I couldn't wait... and because my Swiss beads are still stuck at spanish customs... Sad

Added to the beads I had already decided on for my America bracelet...

Wow! That looks beautiful! I'm still in awe of anyone collecting the entire World Tour. The Smiley bead actually looks much, much nicer in your photo that any previous photos I have seen. I may have to reconsider that one. Thanks for sharing!

(also love the Beach bead, goes great with the stripes glass.)

Your Swiss beads stuck in Spanish customs Question

Your US bracelet combo looks great, the US glass looks stunning and I agree that the Smiley looks much better in you photo that I ever seen it before.

Nice bracelet with the USA beads Smaug. I'm glad you got your set. I agree with all the other comments, your smiley bead looks great in your photos.

I like the addition of the conestoga wagon. When I saw the saguaro bead, I couldn't help thinking about the brave pioneers crossing the deserts of the southwest. Amazingly, many of them made it! Beach reminds me of mirages I saw along the way as I traveled from the Grand Canyon to California. One time, what I thought was water actually was. I was thinking about putting the palm tree on my bracelet to symbolize a mirage. The Navajo bead for the painted desert area of Arizona is just right. Your bracelet is perfect.
