Product Description
I've Been Collecting Some Good Ones,
Just So I Can Get Rid Of 'Em!
Shhh, Don't Tell My Human!
A cat's gotta stick up for himself sometimes. Now, i don't deny that after fourteen years of high living, the last few spent on the street (through no fault of my own), I was ready for regular meals and a little peace and quiet. So when this human picked me up in the alley after a most unfortunate meeting with a large canine, I let her patch me up and, well, the food was good, so... let's just say I never got around to leaving. Now the human thinks she's the boss. But let me tell you, I got this situation wired. I make with the goo goo eyes, and she can't get those pounce treats out fast enough. I sleep against her legs, (just for back support, mind you) and she's combing me and scratching those special spots on my chin and behind my ears. But lately - well, it seems like I'm losing my grip on this household! It's the little things. Little hard round things, actually. They're EVERYWHERE. They get stuck in my toes. I chased a bug across the floor the other day, and it turned out not to be a bug at all. I sat at the human's feet for half an hour last week, because I KNOW what a crackling plastic bag of tempting treats sounds like. Finally she let me sniff the little things and they were -- ugh! -- BEADS!
Well, Mr. Kitty's got it all back in paw now. She thinks it's cute - she thinks I'm playing with the 'bugs'. But I know, and YOU know, that I am quietly gathering every single stupid bead I can hook claw or tooth into and putting them into MR. KITTY'S BIG BEAD BONANZA. Hey, she drops them, she looks away, whatever - they're MINE. I've been listening (she calls it napping) and I know that in my collection there are beads and findings from the USA, South America, Czechoslovakia, India, China, Korea and more.

 Scraps & leftovers March 9, 2010
Mikki Laughlin (Allentown, PA)
I wanted to give this an okay review, but after looking through my bag again I'm going to lean more towards bad than good. The bag was smaller than I imagined but I am fairly new to jewelrymaking so that may be why. This bag seems to be the scraps and leftovers from other jewelerymakers and sellers that didn't make the cut. Some blemishes, broken beads, air bubbles in glass beads etc. There were some useable beads but usually no more than 2 of one kind. There were a few seed beads in the bottom of the bad with 1 spacer bead, 4 of these ridiculously ugly lampworked focals and a bunch of cheap plastic & glass beads. 1 ear wire and right on top (probably to make me feel like I got a deal) was about 12" of suede cord.
I almost feel guilty giving this a low rating because the price was good, but seriously, the bag pretty much sucked. I got another bead mix bag like this from Fire Mountain Gems and that is SOOOO much better. I mean, this was just scraps and there really wasn't anything I could do with any of it. If you are a serious jewelrymaker and sell your items you won't get use out of this bag.
 Return customer pleased again! March 4, 2010
M. O'Hara (Hamilton, Ohio)
What a great buy for these beads and other assorted items in the bag! It's always interesting to see what you get, and the price is unbeatable. Fast service too! My daughter was thrilled with Beadoholique's 'Mr. Kitty's Bead Bonanza'!! Will buy again.
Grab this bag now!!!! March 3, 2010
Kare Bear (Portland, OR)
I bought two of these bags, and now I intend to buy more!! Great grabs bags chock full of all sorts of things. It was like going through a treasure chest! It is true there are a few that needed to be thrown out. But only a couple were not good, the rest were winners! I have made bracelets, earrings, and necklaces using the beads in this bag. A must have!
Variety is the spice of . . . February 24, 2010
New Jeweler (Quincy, IL)
It seems the reviews are mixed here, so my idea is that you should KNOW what you want and then decide if this is it.
If you want:
A lot of matching beads
High quality semi-precious gems and crystals
No half-drilled or not-drilled beads
No acrylic (plastic) beads
The same beads and elements with each order
. . . then DO NOT get this!
However, if you don't mind:
Variety in size, color and shape
SOME (not all) not-quite-perfect beads
Surprises with every bag
A chance to learn
. . . then get this product.
I bought this and made a necklace, bracelet and earrings and was complimented on the set by a complete stranger, -so this package certainly has possibilities. Also, I have plenty left over to make more stuff.
I also can't stress enough that one or two or three or . . . of these bags of beads can help the beginning beader (me) learn a lot about different types of beads, shapes, colors, and jewelry design -which is the MAIN reason I got this!
One more thing -the story of the kitty makes it plain what you can expect and how could you resist buying a product with such a creative background story??!!
Kitty didn't give me a great mix February 24, 2010
M. Coles (PA USA)
I am not a particularly picky jewelry maker, so I thought a mix would be a cool way to just have a little fun with it. I received many many seed beads and beads that are extremely cheap. Just disappointed.
