    I find it difficult to navigate the pages. When I am looking for something specific, there is not a place for me to simply type in what I am looking for.

    I've been a professional beader for around 25 years. Your website and tutorials are simply the best. Well done! Don't change. Not happy with purchase of 3mm round crystal AB nor the 14mm and 18mm rivolis. Poor quality crystals. Dull.
