Hello Fellow Bead Lovers,

Some of you may have noticed that we did not send out a newsletter for April & May. There were a number of reasons, including another death in the family, however, it basically boils down to this, I'm overwhelmed! We've tried to make our newsletter something that you would enjoy receiving and I think we've achieved that. However, trying to come up with that much content every single month has become too much for me. If anyone would like to help out by writing articles, or doing tutorials, please contact me and we'll work out the details.

In the meantime I've come up with what I think will be a fun solution. We will now be sending out the full newsletter on a quarterly basis with the next one coming in July. So our full newsletter will come out each January, April, July and October until further notice. For all the other months instead of a newsletters we are going to send out a color challenge.
