My Bead Soup has arrived...

I received a most lovely packet of beads from my Bead Soup Blog Party partner, Valerie Norton of

Hot Fused Glass.  Ohhh, I can't tell you how excited I am and the tingle I got when I opened her

package. 

I have to say I really admire her Dicroic Glass pendant and clasp.  Her work is absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to get started.   

I can't wait to get started.  But I need to let them sit out so I can get the ideas percolating in my head.  I don't know about everyone else, but the planning and dreaming is as much fun as creating the finished piece. 

Thanks to Valerie for a beautiful set of beads and findings to work with.  I can't wait to see what all my fellow Bead Soup Blog Party goers create.
