Welcome to the 7000 Bracelets for Hope Blog Hop!!!!!




I recently saw a Blog Hop that was being sponsored by Erin over at Elysian Studios and Christine Altmiller from One Kiss Creations for the 7000 Bracelets of Hope.  This is for such a good cause and one that makes you feel good by contributing in such a small way to brighten someone's spirits.  

7000 Bracelets of Hope is run through the Global Genes Project, a rare disease group for children.  Each designer participating in this hop was to create a bracelet using blue as the primary color.  The bracelets will all be sent to the 7000 Bracelets of Hope/Genes Project and will be distributed to the mothers and caretakers of these children as a way to give them a little support and to lift their spirits. 


I am so happy to participate in this project.   My bracelet is made of African powder glass beads along with Recycled glass beads and White Hearts.  






 Please take some time to look at the bracelets made by the following designers:

First Bead Swap of 2012 (actually my first ever)!

Hi all, it's that time again for Lori Anderson's Bead Soup Blog Party which has a reveal date of March 3rd.  Unfortunately, I wasn't one of the lucky 200 that got picked in the lottery this time.  But,  Keri Sereika at Pink Lemonade Blogspot decided to put together an informal swap with a small group of individuals and I enthusiastically jumped right on that bandwagon!


Our packages must be in the mail to our partners by March 1st and our reveal date is the first week of April.


I was partnered up with Bryna Lumb of Bryna's Bead Box.  You can check out Bryna's blog Bryna's Beadbox  or her Etsy Shop to see some of her beautiful creations.Here's a little teaser of what I sent Bryna.  Check back soon to see what was created with the bead soup Bryna is sending me and to hop to all the other blogs that are participating.  

p.s.  Don't forget to check out Lori Anderson's  Pretty Things Blog  on March 3rd to see all the participants for the official Bead Soup Party.
