Forget the Super Bowl Party.....

......I want the Bead Soup Blog Party!!!!

I received such a great package from Cathryn, my Bead Soup Partner, that I dont know where to begin.  I am not only excited about this being my first time participating, but I have learned so much and next year I hope to do better.

Some of the things I learned was to label the Soup that you send to your partner....

Add a little "hello" card.......

Although I did send a "gift" to Cathryn......she sent a beautiful stash......words cant explain how beautiful...take a look...Now how did she know turquoise and black and white were my favorites...

She even included a card from the source of her beads.....nice idea....these are all going into my "Bead Book" for next year.

Cathryn is teaching me so much.

And then she wrapped them all up and placed it in a pretty blue bag.......but that was not the end of it..................she surprised me with...........

these earrings.....Thank you Cathryn..  You made me feel like a princess and I hope my creativity somehow will show my appreciation for this wonderful Bead Soup.   Now to put my thinking cap on.....

j.e.t.s.

I started liking football when I first met my husband 36 years ago.  Actually I had no choice, the only way I could see him on Sundays was in front of the TV watching the game.....so I learned.  I still dont know all the plays....but he can leave me in front of the tv and when he returns to the living room, I usually can tell him what went on.

Now I am totally hooked and excited that we are so close to the Super Bowl....It has been awhile since I had a Super Bowl Party and maybe, just maybe I will have one.....here's to next week....may the best team win......(JETS)
