Bead Soup & A Bead Swap

I got my beads from Filomena @ Pink Velvet Bird. She sent lots of pretty blues, some cording & a great flower pin she makes for the focal.She also sent some tea, a magnet( I love magnets, you can barely see my fridge!)some cool earwires, a bracelet wire, embroidery floss & a great little metal box(another weakness!).Now I have a small confession, I don't usually work w/ much blue, but I think this is a good way to step out of my comfort zone. I am going to use this a an opportunity to step up my game. In a funny coincidence, I also sent blue to Filomena! I won't say any more about that because hers are still on the way.... ;)
There is another Bead Swap going on @ 'MySoCalledJunkyLife' blogspot, (sorry I am having trouble posting links today)There aren't many sign-ups yet, so if you are interested, check it out.
