Bead Soup Blog Party Coming!

Yay, the Bead Soup Blog Party is coming. Lori, at Pretty Things hosts this twice a year.  And although the sign ups are closed for this round you really should check it out and join us for the next round next spring.  This consists of jewelry makers, both long time jewelry makers and newbies like me, that get partnered up with someone else.  We swap beads, findings, whatever.  The main thing is we HAVE to send a Focal,  a Pretty clasp, (not just a lobster claw) and some coordinating beads.  When we get our stash from our partner, we post a pictue of it on our blog.  Then we have until Sept. 17th to make something and post the pictures of what we did on that day for the reveal.  Then we get to hop around over 300 Blogs!  And check out what everyone made.  I'm partnered with Loretta Carstensen from California.  She makes lovely things from Polymer Clay, something I've tried and haven't been real successful with yet.  She has an Etsy and Artfire shop, plus her blog.  Check out her shops by clicking on Etsy or Artfire.  And check out her blog by clicking on her name.  Then be sure to check back later to see what wonderful goodies I receive from her and again in September to see what I make with them.
For some great Glass Kreationz for your Home or Garden, you can check out my Etsy shop, KayzKreationz, too.  Enjoy.
