Since I have taken over the Bead Fairies Page, I have desparately wanted to update the information here. With the kindess of a reader, Carmen Genego from the Netherlands this will now be possible. She has graciously provided me with translations in Dutch, German and French. Traveling around the world via the net has also allowed me access to other translator friends, so soon there will be even more translations. To those of you that would like to contribute any language please feel free to contact me. Best, Debra
Coming soon! Russian for all you Russian bead book lovers!
