Bead Soup Blog Hop
Well this has been a fun weekend. Full of inspiration and intimidation. I have spent a good portion of the last two days visiting all the blogs of the Bead Soup participants and checking out all the wonderfully creative and beautiful jewelry that has been made. It never ceases to amaze me at how different we all are and how we can all take something and make things so unique and individual. Thanks to Lori Anderson for organizing such an awesome event. Even though I was not one of the lucky 200 this go round, I look forward to being one of the lucky ones in the next Bead Soup party. This was the main reason I started a blog in the first place! To be to be able to participate in all these wonderful challenges and hops was my goal. The beading community is made up of so many wonderful and sharing people. Even though I have been making jewelry for over nine years I still see things new and different and something that I would not have thought to do. If you haven't done so already, please go to Lori's blog, Pretty Things, and check out the list of participants and start hopping. I know you won't be disappointed!

Mini Bead Soup Swap
Lori Anderson at Pretty Things Blog is hosting her 5th Bead Soup Blog Hop with the reveal date of March 3rd. Lori's Bead Soup Blog Hops are so popular that there were over 350 people that signed up to do the hop this time. Because of the time that it takes to hop to that many blogs, Lori decided to limited the number of participants to 200, and these participants were selected via random selector. I unfortunately was not one of the lucky participants for this go round, but no worries since everyone that is interested will be included in the next hop.
In the meantime, Keri Sereika of Pink Lemonade put together a mini hop with 13 people with a reveal date of April 1. I was paired up with Bryna Lumb of Brynas Beadbox. Oh so exciting! Here is the soup that Bryna sent me. She is a talented lampwork artist and I was fortunate enough to get from Bryna a beautiful lampwork focal bead, two additional lamp work beads, and complimentary accent beads to complete the piece(s).
Our reveal date will be April 1. While I can wait to get started on my taxes, I can't wait to get started on my jewelry pieces. Please come back on April 1 (and that no fooling) to see what I did with these beautiful beads. Also check out
Bryna's blog to see what I sent her. Check out these other participant's blogs and be sure to come back April 1 for the big reveal.
