This article from Microsoft describes exactly how to use web part properties: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd584174(v=office.11).aspx

Basically, you mark (decorate) a c# Property in your code as follow:

[Personalizable(PersonalizationScope.Shared)]
[WebBrowsable(true)]
[System.ComponentModel.Category("MyCategory")]
[WebDisplayName("Display Name")]
[WebDescription("My Description")]

public string MyProperty { set; get; }

Next up, you can access the property directly in your code:

string propertyValue = this.MyProperty;
