I have been involved with Layne's Legacy - Beading For A Cure for many years. I first got involved with what was then called VTB when their usual bead supplier was ill and couldn't get kits together for them on short notice. I was called in as a quick, secondary supplier. Since that time I have been providing the beading kits on alternate years. This is the final year that I will supply the kits, and with the help of Laurie, a lampworking friend from Florida, I put together a really spectacular kit for the beaders. The first kits will be sent out today, and by the end of the month, I expect that all 80 kits will be sold and on their way to their creative and temporary owners. If you are interested in purchasing a kit (you WILL be expected to return a finished product for auction), feel free to Email the Secretary@beadingforacure.org for more details. 
BFAC participants purchase a beading kit at below-market pricing with the promise to make an item for resale using at least one of each of the beads that are contained in the kit. Those completed items are returned to our photographer and then are auctioned off on eBay in March and April each year. The items that we have had available in the past have been fantastic. The current auctions will start in a couple of weeks, and I will be promoting them at that time, but if you are interested in getting a preview of what's available, check out our website (http://www.beadingforacure.org/) and click on the 2009 Gallery button. There are more than 70 outstanding products for you to bid on. Take a look, decide which items you might want to own, and watch for our weekly auctions. Each item will only be available for one week, so bid high and bid often.
(The pieces pictured were made by Kookie [Bracelet] and Pam Perry [Necklace].)
