Etsy Wedding Scrapbook: Amy of BeadsinBloom

Here's a story from Amy of Beads in Bloom, about how her wedding is what got her started in her current art.
"This isn't really mushy, funny, or cute, but my wedding is actually why
I started French Beading in the first place. The "package" we got for
our little beach wedding only came with flowers for my husband and
myself. Nothing for the bridal party. In an attempt to continue the
DIY theme for most of our wedding, a friend of mine suggested beaded
flowers. I had never heard of them, but after a several trials and
completely cursing and putting aside this lovely craft because my first
attempts were atrocious, I 'saw the light', so to speak, and fell in
love with this age-old craft."
