Welcome to the Desperate ABS Neighborhood! There’s been a flurry of activity recently, new neighbors moving in and old friends moving out. With all the coming and going, the paparazzi don’t take notice of an eye peering through a window.

The Desperate ABS Neighbors can’t read it. They’re off to their local community college to learn a new language – afterall, everyone in the Desperate ABS Neighborhood gossips over coffee, who cares which language you gossip in?!?
While the Desperate ABS Neighbors are learning a new language, let’s see what other gossip is going on in the Bead Blogging World….
