One of my favorite things to buy in Uganda is jewelry. I have an obsession with all of the beautiful, handmade pieces and I would venture that at least 75% of all of the jewelry I wear comes from Uganda. Uganda is now becoming well-known for its paper beads. Women started making these beads from strips of magazine paper and the beads have created thousands of jobs for women who otherwise would have no way to provide for their families. So, I decided to share my love of these paper beads with you. I am having a bead party next Thursday, January 6th. The party will be come & go from 6-9pm at my house. The necklaces, bracelets, and earrings will range from $5-$15 a piece and all proceeds will go to help fund the rest of this adoption. Anyone is welcome, so invite a friend. If you need to know my address, send me an email (
melissabusby@hotmail.com). If you don't live in the Wichita area, I will post the leftovers online and you can have a chance to buy some too. I look forward to seeing you there!

These are examples... the ones I have are buried in my room right now,
but these will give you an idea of what they look like. I have a bunch of colors, sizes, and lengths. |
