I have signed up for 4 classes this December more than I have ever taken in such a short period of time.  I have a feeling by the end of the month I will have so many variations of the things I learned swirling around in my head I will find it hard to focus on my networking, photography, and selling.  So I hope to get a head start on those things during the first two weeks of December. 

I enjoy taking classes because I get to interact with other beaders on a very personal level.  It also is another way for me to become inspired when I don't feel very creative. Since class can become costly I use magazines, tutorials, social networking site, and books to get ideas.

I love the teachers at my local bead shop they are so helpful and always willing to share information.  Although my family supports my beading they just don't get how I can work with these tiny beads for hours and hours. 

Do many of you take classes? If so for what reason and how often.
