I like PM. The products are good value. However, the missing bead from my bracelet kit, the thread supplied that snapped on first use and 2 broken duos as I used them was disappointing. I doubt these issues are disaster related. The white duos probably was due to their inherent fragility. Thread I have no idea of. The bracelet kit was nice. Janet Howe
