Pati, I worry about your back doing the bling toes. It will tear it up. And some of the women can't lift their leg up in your lap, they start getting cramps. I started out doing this, and after two thought I was going to kill someone!!!
Why don't you do the bling on the nails and tell them they can get this on their toes. Or to save your back, only do one toe. yeah, well maybe that won't work. How about doing their hands and you have bling on YOUR toes to show them? Are you going to have someone there to help you? Have bling on their toes also. Just would hate to see you in pain all day. diana from indiana At 09:48 PM 4/19/2009, you wrote: >I want to thank you all for the great ideas!
