Some Fantastic Giveaways Are Going On This Week/Month.....Check Them Out.

There are several really great giveaways going on this week and throughout the month.  Some are in association with the Bead Soup Party Blog Hop that began on Saturday, March 5.  Be sure to check them out for a chance to win beads and jewelry.  I have found a really nice variety of things that are certainly worth winning.

SongBeads - Rebecca is a jewelry designer, teacher and creater from England.  She says she is particularly interested in art beads.

Melinda Orr  - Melinda is giving away some really really nice earrings and a ring.  She does marvelous things with copper.

Kari Carrigan - Kari is offering a fun pair of earrings. 

Diane Cook - Diane is offering a tutorial that she put together on the topic of making connectors out of vintage jewelry.  If you haven't seen her blog you must go look.  She makes absolutely amazing vintage looking jewelry.  It is beautiful.


I am now visited the bottom half of the participants in the BSBP which began Saturday morning.  I am really enjoying slowing things down and reading the entire posts and studying the pictures and maybe re-reading, etc.  It is a welcome change from my usual try to get through it fast because I'm impatient to see it all.
