Did you miss out on taking a trip to the 2012 Gem and Mineral Show in Tucson this year? Don’t worry! You may still get your hands on some of the coolest beads, findings and other goodies available at one of the world’s biggest shows. Follow the Artbeads crew on our Facebook event page and the blog as they discover fun new items by browsing through thousands of tables, booths, rooms, nooks and crannies, cherry picking a few items to place into a goody jar as they go. Over one crazy, exhausting and exhilarating week, you will see the jar gradually fill with an eclectic mix of beads and other fun stuff.
Now that we’re back, take a look at the full jar above and guess at the number of items we’ve stuffed into the jar. If your guess comes closest to the actual number, you win the jar! Guess it exactly and you will also win a $100 Artbeads.com gift certificate! You can see the progress of the growing jar below, but be sure to look above for the final fill.

Hi there,
Good luck to everyone 🙂
so cool !!!!
Figuring out approximate volume of the jar was relatively easy. Estimating the number of beads per cubic inch was not. Definitely a fun contest. I’m just glad I’m not the one that has to count them.
OMG, I would think I died and was in heaven if I won all those beads! Good luck everyone! Happy beading!
Wouldn’t it be awesome to be lucky enough!!
Winning that would be awesome!!
Having not gone to Tucson, this would be the next best thing!!!!
This is so difficult given all the different size beads. Kind of different than just guessing jelly beans, for sure. My guess is 2,242 : )
My new guess is 6,891
going to start saving my pennies to go to the Tucson show one day. Love beading, just got to win need more beads.
Would love to win the jar.
My guess is 5475 now that I see how tall this jar is.
Tucson sounds like loads of fun.
would love to make a lot of beautiful things will all those beads:)
would love to make alot of jewelry with all those beautiful beads:)
My guess is 2,261. That is one beautiful jar of goodies!
I may be out to lunch, but I’m guessing 6,666.
6400
As new beader, this prize is the most wonderous of treasures to behold. I bet it’s cool just to put your hand inside the jar to feel all the different textures and sizes of beads. yes. I would certainly love to win this prize!
So my guess is 4163 beads.
I hope I’m not to late…….
Please tell us how long it took to count them. Even if you have helpers!!
um…….3972? eek!
Such a beautiful assortment! I guessed there to be 3037 items in the Goody Jar. It will be interesting to hear the actual number on Thursday. Good luck to all!
dream prize to win and make up
beautiful assortment
I thought that I’d left my guess last night but do not see it, so I’ll try again 3693 pieces… HOPEFULLY!!
Wow this is like the biggest ever mystery bag.You are given the mystery beads and have to make something using them. If I was given all these, I would make enough jewellery to fill my stall and make such a gorgeous display, I would photograph the stall and explain that it all came from a glass jar and display the jar too lol.
My Guess is 857 beads in the jar – good luck everyone
What a fun contest. Would love to win. Art Beads is the best place to shop. Great beads and staff members. Thanks Art Beads

I will guess 2,894. This is awesome!!!!
That would be so awesome to win that! Hope I’m the lucky one.
I am going with my birth year of 1955. Hope it was a good guess!
I would LOVE to win this! I could do so many things!!
I guess 7,320
The creative juices are flowing…the things I can make with the goodies that are in that jar! 🙂
I really didn’t get all my numbers in as I wanted 4100. Will this be added or deleted as it is my second chance?
There is a lot I could do with that jar full. Hope I’m the winner and good luck to all entries.
