    Well have to say that I have been looking for the color of these beads everywhere but here. I did not think that you would have them. I searched high and low for them and then finally I came here. OMG!!!! You were the ones that had them and the colors and sizes that I was looking for were sold out. I wasn't able to complete the color choices. But I came back and I found most of them so I put in an order. I learned a lesson from all of my blood sweat and tears...come to Potomac 1st! I now can make my project! Thank you!!!!!

    Several things: I could not log on to the website, even after I changed my password. I finally gained access through your link I received in a text. It would not take Apple Pay for my order. I had to enter all info for credit card 2x. Too long to place an overpriced order with shipping costs.
