BeadFest Philadelphia Recap...

The big shows are always a blur.  It always seems as though there is never enough time to see everyone and see everything.  While this trip was decidedly more relaxed in pace, it still went by too quickly.  Usually we wake up dark and early and make the trek across the state, do the show, and then drive back.  This time we took a few days.  It was less frantic and less exhausting.

I took some pictures, but not as many as usual.  William snapped a lot of pictures though.  Not just of our adventures in the show, but also of some of the things that we did while in Philadelphia.  CLICK HERE to check out the album on his Facebook page.

Without further ado... here are the pictures from the show:
