it can be a slow process! start with just the basics and add a bead with an accomplishment or special event!

hmm if you put it that way, it doesn't seem to be that much daunting. maybe i'll do some convincing to the DBF to chip in and get me a bead or two once i finally take the plunge.

i have yet to see the beads in person to actually decide though.
 
I am going to buy my first Trollbead bracelet next weekend! Any advice for how to get started? I thought I would buy a couple of beads to get me going. Thanks!
 
Just buy what catches your eye and see what develops! Some people like to build on a specific theme like ocean, flowers, sports teams, etc. Others just go by instinct and pick out what they are feeling the most at the time. There's no wrong choice!
 
I am a grown woman, why am I so excited about buying beads??! I am going to have a happy week looking forward to my shopping trip. :)

I like the idea of a theme. I have designated 2012 as my year of health and wellbeing. I have set myself some health and fitness challenges, and with each one I achieve I am going to add a bead to the bracelet. Perhaps I should look for beads which have a healthy glow about them!

Bead buying is exciting! WHen I started collecting, I thought about them non-stop. I think it is because they are s pretty and it is also a creative process.
Sounds like a good plan for 2012, I agree, buy what you love! Enjoy!

If I were you I would start by getting beads that are retiring soon that catch your fancy, as they ill be harder to find after
 
My finished bracelet with light earthy tones. I've been wearing this every day!
