I'm in & so excited!!!

I am so excited to be part of this event.  I have already started putting my soup together.  The only thing I am going to need to find is the toggle, I just don't have a great selection in my stash. There are 500 of us participating in this bead soup party & I am so very excited to find out who I am partnered with!!!

Stay tuned.....

Bead Soup!!!

It's that time!!
I am hoping this will be the kick in the pants I need to get back to beading & blogging. This is an awesome event that I am very excited about. The talent involved is well past anything I can create but you have to start somewhere. 
I've already started to sort through my stash & just can't wait to see who I get paired up with.
Stay tuned....

But in the meanwhile check out this link to Lori's blog for more information.

Bead Soup Slacker

Well,

I completely dropped the ball.  I was extremely excited to participate in Lori's Bead Soup Blog Hop.  I have been following her blog & the Hop for at least a year & when I actually got on the list I was jumping with joy, however, I must apologize to Lori Anderson & my Bead Soup partner Joyce Blair.  I did not get my soup finished & did not make a post. 

I could go into excuses but all I am going to say is

 sorry. 

Please, check out Joyce's blog & her great completed soup at:
