This was my 3rd opportunity to participate in Lori Anderson's baby- she's def been the hostess with the mostess :) In addition to some of my "leftovers" from the various bead soups, I recently was the unexpected winner of a "de-stashing" courtesy of CJ Bauchska! Little did I know what was headed my way, but she went above and beyond in generosity and beads!
I was floored! Wish I lived closer to her, so I could take some of her classes- seed beads and I have a nominal relationship, but obviously they are CJ's friends. We were gone on back to back trips after her stash arrived, so they've been waiting patiently for me to do something with them. As I looked around MY
I've had such a great time being paired with Dana James, Andra Weber and most recently, Arlene Dean- they've expanded my horizons, and their giftings of beading goodness have been generous to say the least. Sooo, I'd like to help someone else have the same experience. I have only two guidelines:
1) You did NOT have participated in the last BSBP but you do have a blog.
2) When you use what is sent ( we can figure out a time factor), that you link your post back to this blog.
That's it! I'll put together a bead soup for you and send it your way and then wait to see what you create. (Please note that Bead Soup Blog Party is trademarked by Lori- this is just plain bead soup :))
Want a chance to win? Just leave a comment below by November 14 ( one of our girls turns 21 that day, so we'll celebrate that!) and make sure I have a way to contact you. One lucky person will get goodies headed their way.
Hoping this adds a splash of grace and a dash of joy to your day!
I DID participate so this is not an entry. I just wanted to say I think this is a fabulous idea, and give you a virtual *hug* for your generosity! :)

Girl you making me cry, I'm so glad you liked the stash that I sent. I'm also not commenting to win, but to say thank-you. I know the person that wins will feel so good and you will too.

DeleteI just started a blog last month in order to be able to do some of these great blog hops and get in the swing of things. I have never participated in a BSBP, but I went to every single person's blog who participated in the three this summer. You are correct, there are some amazing creations done at all skill levels--the creativity is so inspiring to myself and so many others--just as your generosity and giveaway was inspired by Lori and others. I can't wait to see what the person who wins these beads creates with them. Thank you.
