That’s soup with a capital “S” as in Bead Soup Blog Party. I had so much fun doing this last year for my first time, I made sure to sign up again for this year’s BSBP. There are over 500 of us participating, with three different reveal dates.
I am super psyched because my partner this year is the Bead Soup queen herself, Lori Anderson. I call her the queen because she is the originator of the Bead Soup Blog Party. She has done an amazing job matching people from this country and around the world. I can’t even wrap my head around figuring out how she manages it. To read more about the BSBP click on this link.
Lori’s hopes for all of us who participate in this blog hop:
:: To trade beads
:: To design outside your comfort zone
:: To get to know someone new (or better!)
:: To show your work to the world via your blog
: To kick start, revitalize, or continue blogging as a way of self-expression.
I sent my package of goodies to Lori today. I already know, from following Lori’s blog that she has a 10 year old son named Zack. When I went to the post office today, our postmaster Joy was totally into making sure there was an interesting assortment of stamps on the box in case it was something that might interest Zack. (Joy is a fellow Dip-of-the-Month Club member, too.)
I’m not supposed to show what I’m sending because I want it to be a surprise for Lori. When I receive her package, I’ll post photos to show the “soup” she sent. Meanwhile, here is a hint of what is coming her way…in a box that is loaded with cool stamps.

Looks like it’s going to be fun.
Maybe it’s the mention of Dip of the Month, or maybe it’s a reminder of a macrame book I had eons ago, but the first picture looks like a macrame (or jeweled) bikini top.
You might/must be relieved that I don’t see anything in the other pix…… ;=)

That’s just the sweetest thing that you got special stamps for Zach. He’ll love that. I so enjoy seeing what people come up with for Bead Soup so I’ll be looking forward to seeing yours as the party unfolds.

This bead Soup is fun. I’m glad to be in the last reveal, though. Joy and I had a good time picking out stamps we thought Zack might like. Can’t wait to see some signs of spring from down your way.

I don’t know which I’m more excited about — the soup or the box!

I’m trying to visit as many of the blogs as I can in the blog party. Can’t wait to see what you’ve gotten in the mail from your partner and the unscrambled version of your own bead soup!
