6th Bead Soup Blog Party - Partner

Friday, June 29
A few weeks ago I signed up for Bead Soup Blog Partythe 6th Bead Soup Blog Party hosted by Lori Anderson'. I've been following Lori and her blog for quite awhile and I'd promised myself that one day I would join in. That was just one of the reasons I started this blog, to take part in challenges like this.

I received an email from Lori telling me i had been accepted for the 6th Bead Soup Blog Party and that my partner was Hope Smitherman of Crafty Hope. We both took part in the Button Swap Blog Hop and I've been following her on twitter and pinterest. both of us are mixed media artists, so you can imagine that I'm very happy to be partnered with her.

Here are a few of my favourite pieces from her blog and etsy shop (please visit and say hi)

Gorgeous huh! And guess what she kumi’s as well…with beads!

Ok, in case your wondering, click on either of the top two photos and be taken to Hope’s etsy shop, click on this kumi bracelet => and your taken to her blog :)

There are 399 participants in the 6th Bead Soup Blog Party and three reveal dates! The first reveal is 28th July, second reveal is on 11th August, and the final reveal (in which Hope and I are taking part) is 25th August.

Now I’m ready to complete the final part of my bead shopping this weekend. I might even include one or two of my current projects in the package, if I can get things to turn out! Long story, I’ll fill you all in next week, but I think I've got it figured out now. Everything should be packaged up and sent off by Monday and should arrive in just over 2 weeks.

I must be off now, I have an Academic Award ceremony to attend, my youngest got 6 out of 7 A’s! Proud Mum here!!
