Effisk,
I had no idea what everyone was talking about when I read your posts and pics in the office. I was looking at this thread again last night at home and finally saw the flashing M&Ms. .
I love the idea of a Christmas tree festooned with pearls or pearly ornaments. That sounds like a nice craft idea to occupy rainy days in the fall. Even imitation pearls would do nicely for this.
john675 - I am a complete Christmas tragic. you just HAVE to post photos for me (and of course everyone else) of your pearly tree... sounds very pretty.
Just want to say a huge "Thank You" for sending the unfinished red Lop Noors so quickly! (I will string my own, and needed them finished by this Friday for my daughter in law to wear!)
They are even more lovely than the photos, gorgeous color and very round and clean! I could not be more pleased!!
