First off - thanks SO MUCH for being the first to sign up for the Bead Lovers Network. I'm really excited about launching this and hope to get many more members so we can really have a great community here. Please feel free to email your beading friends and/or customers to let them know about the site as well.
I've posted a few Groups to the site - but the possibilities are probably endless. I've got it set up so any member can start a group, but if you're not sure about starting one - please feel free to post what groups you'd like to see added and I'll put them up. Ideas I've had are for regional groups (so you can network with people who may live or have a bead shop near you), more groups for specific bead interests and maybe some for beginners and some for master artists and so on.
Done! :) Are you a member of a specific bead society? If so I can put a group up for your society - just tell me the name. You would also need to tell me if you want it to be invite-only or public (anyone can join). That would probably be based on whether your offline society collects dues and such to determine membership.
