    The website had a bunch of hiccups. I tried to checkout 4 times before it finally worked correctly. I also don't appreciate having expensive items pushed at me when I'm trying to check out.

    Sorry I was ordering so late the sale beads I wanted were out of stock!  Maybe I won’t have the grandkids during the next sale.
