Somebody stop me!! Here I was, flipping through a magazine when I saw an ad for Trollbeads. Being a huge charm/charm bracelet fan, I decide to check out the website. From there, I click on "find a retailer in your area". UGH! Big mistake, HUGE!! As it turns out, that retailer is 2 miles from my office. So....5 days, two bracelets and lots and lots of $$$ later....Here are my creations. It's another MAJOR addiction I certainly didn't need, but, hey, whatever makes ya happy, right?? I fell in love with the Gold and Silver Happy Universe charm, so, I built the neutral bracelet around that. The red/orange/yellow has lots of silver charms that reminded me of my dh 
So, that one is extra special.
Hmmmm.....I really need something blue, or turquoise, or purple, accckkkk!!!! Stop the madness!!!

wow, 2 bracelets already???!!! man that must have been a LOT of $$ =P i'm still working on my first one...they're very pretty though! i love how everyone's bracelets look so different.
I KNOW!!! I'm NUTTY!!!
Once I start something, I have no patience to finish it. Who says you can't eat Mac and Cheese for an entire month (or two) anyway?!!?! 
Sorry kiddies, mama has some new bracelets, now pass the ketchup!! HAHA!! I agree with you, everyones bracelets are so pretty and different which is dangerous. Last thing I need is another idea 
Has anyone seen the Chamilia "aqua reef" bead. I love the colours but we don't have a store here, so I'd have to order. Just wondering if it's as pretty as the website?
Today I bought my first Troll bracelet - I had actually gone in to get some of the new fall Pandora beads at a store I had just found out about and their supply was pretty low due to a Trunk show a few weeks prior. So - the girls showed me Troll beads and the glass beads were just so beautiful I caved and started a bracelet - if you bought 5 beads you got a free bracelet so I ended up with 3 glass beads (dark blue and green colored) and 2 silver beads (flower shapes) and the dichroic flower clasp. I am sooooo happy!!! Now I have 1 Pandora and 1 Troll - 2 types of beads to collect : )
Do any of you know any good on-line retailers to purchase from???? Obviously I can go back to the store but I wanted to also have the option of ordering on-line... Thanks!

^^yay! welcome to the addiction! =) you can go to www.trollbeadsus.com - that's their official website...i think it has a list of online retailers there too. i also visit www.trollbeadsgallery.com too.
Have any of you Troll lovers seen the winter "Diamonds" glass bead? What do you think of it?
I bought one yesterday, on the Bay.
I have two sets of glass beads, one blue set, and one white set, and I switch them off. So I thought the white Diamonds would be perfect.

^^I have only a partial completed bracelet, so I don't know if that would help you lumkeikei

My BFF bought me 3 trollbeads for Christmas (early Christmas gift :shame:!) last week and I bought the bracelet & clasp myself...I'm SOOOOO hooked. I can't stop thinking about them! I haven't bought anymore beads, as the bracelet + clasp were already $100, but I've been dreaming about the diff combos I could create...
I'm reading the catalog every night, and can't wait until Christmas because I've created a wishlist!! Anyway, my question to other trollbead collectors/owners...how do you feel about a bracelet with only 3 beads 
? I have 2 glass beads, and one silver bead right now, and I LOVE them. I think I almost like some of the chain showing and not a completed bracelet. Am I the only one?

vivi1205 - I think it looks nice not full - I have 3 glass and 2 silver and I get tons of compliments on it - I hope someday to get more - but for now - I like the look!!!!!
talkativeone77-- okay, I'm loving my bracelet with the minimum charms (i even wear it to bed!), but I saw one of my co-workers almost full tb bracelet today, and I am in love 
. Hers isn't completely full, but the bracelet does look nice maybe filled 2/3 full. I just wish I had the funds! Can't wait for Christmas!!

^^Oh my, those are GORGEOUS! I 
how you've coordinated your glass beads! They complement each other so nicely... 
I'm trying not to mix themes, but I'm too eager to get my bracelet going...so I have a pastel-girly look mixing with a dark-fantasy look. Hmmm...maybe I should just work on 2 bracelets simultaneously...
Purse-Ooooh--your bracelets inspire me so!
