But, first things first. Let me tell you about the package I received. When my soup arrived in the mail, it was in a bubble envelope just like any other package. And when I opened it, I found a treasure of goodies all wrapped up so pretty -- there were so many little packages, it felt like Christmas.
My first instinct was to rip into all those little packages but I didn't - I took my time and enjoyed opening each one. Here's a pic of all the wonderful goodies Hope sent.
Notice the beautiful pendant in the lower right corner? I treasure that piece most of all because it was handmade by Hope and sent as an "extra" gift just for me. Please take a moment to learn a little about my BSBP partner: Hope's Blog, Hope's Etsy Store, Hope's Facebook Page.
Wondering what I sent Hope? I decided I would make all of the beads and components for Hope's soup so I got out the copper and enamels and came up with this:
Now to go dig into all those goodies Hope sent me!! I am part of the second reveal and will be posting my finished piece(s) on April 6th. Be sure to check back then to see what came of the wonderful bead soup I have to play with.
