I am always torn about what to blog about. Do I blog strictly about my beads or do I blog about my personal life? I read a lot of blogs myself, and I find that the blogs I enjoy the most are a little about beads and a little about life. Although, too much life can sometimes turn me off, I need the eye candy!

I currently have several things on my list of “Things to Blog about”…go figure, when it rains it pours! The first is: My Bead Soup partner, Sharon Palac! I finally got a nice shot of all the goodies she sent me, I thought you might like to see them if you haven’t already checked them out on Flickr!

The second thing is, a CONTEST! My First EVER! The next group of beads I am posting to my Etsy store have all been named according to a common theme. Look at the beads below and post in the comments if you know the theme. The first one to get it right will win the bead named “Downtown”! Make sure you enter your email address so I can contact you! Good Luck!

A little more about my Bead Soup partner Sharon Palac. Below is a Necklace from her Dryad Collection, Autumn Nymph. I love the earthiness of the colors and delicate complexity of the design. Truly a one of a kind piece. Her prices are extremely reasonable so check out her Etsy shop – Bijoux Jardin!

Just after I sent my beads out yesterday, I realized I didn’t take a picture of them. Dag-nabit! Well I dug through my archive and found a picture of the focal bead. I can’t wait to see what Sharon does with it. She emailed me yesterday and said “I hope you like rather flamboyant colors!” I do, I DO! I think I’ll go sit by the mailbox…;)

I have been paired up with Sharon Palac http://sharonsjewelrygarden.blogspot.com Sharon makes the COOLEST polymer clay pendants and I am really looking forward to getting my goodies for the party!
