My name is Mandi and I am a bead addict. I created the Bead Circle Network (www.beadcircle.com) to connect with other bead addicts. I’m a right-hand Leo born in the year of the boar. I have been beading for about 10 years now, and like many crafters I was taught by my hero, my grandma. She’s an amazing seamstress with a passion for cross-stitch and tatting. She gave me her beading loom at age 12, and I haven’t looked back since. I’m a graduate of Texas A&M, and I live in Dallas with my husband and my puppy Ruby.
