My So Called Junky Life Bead Swap Extravaganza 2010

June 7, 2010

It’s arrived! My package of beads from my swap partner, Terri, was delivered today and I’m so excited about it! Naturally, I had to share it with you ~ are you ready?



When I opened the box I found this lovely package wrapped in tissue paper. The handmade gift tag has the sweetest little bird’s nest (literally) on it! When I actually unwrapped the package I could hardly believe it ~





Yes, she made this herself! She’s quite the accomplished mixed media artist ~ and jewelry, too? I’m SO jealous of her talents! Now, for the piece de resistance ~


I’m not kidding when I tell you that I was totally flabbergasted to see these beauties!  Now that some of the glow has worn off, I realize that I HAVE TO MAKE SOMETHING ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS and then POST PHOTOS OF IT ON MY BLOG FOR ALL TO SEE! (Them’s the rules!) I only hope I can create something worthy of the gift giver’s kindness and generosity. Thank you, Terri!

Terri’s photos of the stash are WAY better than mine (talent again!), so go and check them out on her blog HERE.

Hi Kathleen, thank you for doing such a beautiful post on what I sent you. I am going to do a post of all of your wonderful goodies this week. Have been trying to catch up since I got home. I can't wait to see what you create. I love all of your beautiful jewelry. Thanks again for being my partner. Hugs, Terri
