Did you make it through all the Bead Soup blogs? I'm still plugging away, visiting a few every night. It's been amazing to see what everyone's made. (And if you missed this one, check out Lori's post on the dates for the next one.)
One thing I relearned during bead soup: trust yourself! When I made my jewelry set, I really liked my bracelet the best. I didn't think other people would like it because of all the designs it was the quickest and simplest to make. But guess which piece on my blog has received the most positive comments so far? Yep!
Several of the Bead Soup participants are hosting giveaways for handmade jewelry, which inspired me to see just what other giveaways are going on this week. There's a bunch of terrific stuff!
