Karooart Beads

One of my online friends, Christelle, made these inspiring beads - they remind me of wood inlaid with abalone or some other stone. They are currently for sale on ebay, along with other sets sure to make you ooh and aah.

I'm tired today, but I hope to get at least one or two of my own beads listed for Just Bead.com's Susan G. Komen charity auction blitz.

Starfish Story
Once a man was walking along a beach.
The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. Off in the distance he could see a person going back and forth between the surf's edge and and the beach. Back and forth this person went. As the man approached he could see that there were hundreds of starfish stranded on the sand as the result of the natural action of the tide.

The man was struck by the the apparent futility of the task. There were far too many starfish. Many of them were sure to perish. As he approached, the person continued the task of picking up starfish one by one and throwing them into the surf.

As he came up to the person he said, "You must be crazy. There are thousands of miles of beach covered with starfish. You can't possibly make a difference." The person looked at the man. He then stooped down and pick up one more starfish and threw it back into the ocean. He turned back to the man and said, "It sure made a difference to that one!"
