Tory and Kristal came back from the annual Gem, Mineral, Jewelry, Bead and Fossil Show in Tuscon, Arizona. The weather was hot but the shows were hotter! Vendors come from around the world to showcase their new products, while buyers from all over the globe comes to see them. Here’s a few snapshots of Tory and Kristal’s bead adventure!

There were many buildings like the Holidome that stretched as long as a football field. But no football, what?!
