ahh, ok...I was curious about the multiecolored stripes on those beads...super cool!
thanks for the kind offer but I have a 12 year old too and he'll feel put out so I'll just find another cool, to a 9 yr old, necklace and get it back from him this weekend when I see the wife and boys. You are much too kind.
On a side note, I was checking out your link/web page...it that link old or are you currently in the process of building the site?
