Well, like a moron I didn't pay enough attention and didn't see the APB to get in touch w Lori to be in the Bead Soup Party. I swore this would not happen again! But...it did. So I'm going to try and take her advice about making something and following along! That's a great idea!

I could play! Sounds like fun, and I have a crazy focal in mind for this!

2012-01-21T15:39:02.922-05:00

love this idea! even though I didn't get chosen, I feel a part of it. something very interesting is that I actually won some beads in a random drawing, and have not had the time to do anything with them. that is what I am going to use, as they are way different than anything I've used in the past.

2012-01-18T18:38:09.867-05:00

Lori, I am absolutely in AWE over all the work you've put into this - and on top of a miserable cold even.

You rock, like a rockin' thing that rocks a lot! ;-D

hi lori...ok, so i didn't make it in but i like your challenge idea...i still have beads from the FIRST BEAD SOUP PARTY, hmmm, i think i'll use those with a few others i have in my stash...

looking forward to seeing everyone's creations...

I am so grateful that you are offering this alternate solution. I have never been in the BSBP and was determined to do so this go round, but things in life got complicated around the sign up time and I decided I simply couldn't add anything else to the mix. Soooo, this brilliant idea of yours is just the thing for me!!! And I think I even know what I want to try, too. (something to stretch my limits) Awesome!! Thanks so much for your thoughtfulness!!!

2012-01-15T19:51:57.100-05:00

Love the idea Lori! I actually have some Julsbeads that I was going to send out if I was picked, so I'm choosing to make something gorgeous with them! So thrilled for all the participants, and looking forward to hopping!

2012-01-15T19:27:26.898-05:00

Lori, could you post a list of the people who didnt make it so we could look at what they made as well? Thanks!

2012-01-15T12:37:53.283-05:00

That is my plan! :-)

I guess I'm confused though...I thought the announcement was going to be here today?

Are participants advised by email rather than on here?

I probably didn't read as well as I should have...as usual!

2012-01-15T11:46:21.033-05:00

Oh Lori, You are something else always thinging of the other guy. You truly are an awesome soul. and that is a great idea for a way to partisapate.

Perfect solution! Challenging yourself to create something interesting and out of your comfort zone is a great idea.

Great job on this, Lori! Excited to participate on the official roster on on my own.

Best to you!

2012-01-15T11:35:24.906-05:00

Oh Lori! I'm sad you've had to worry about all of us, especially while you're sick! and you put so much work into this.

I love participating - the challenge of putting together a packet for my beading partner, figuring out what to do with the beads I received and then the anticipation of the actual hop itself. I've met so many wonderful people (like you!) that way!

And whether or not I get in, I know I'll get to see the results of this super-fun exercise in creativity. And likely meet more interesting people along the way. So it's all good.

I think Bead Soup Blog Party sounds FUN! I discovered this blog after the fact last year and marked it down so I would remember to sign up.

2012-01-15T10:53:25.475-05:00

Great idea Lori! It's so inspirational seeing what people make.

We have to wait a-whole-nother day to find out if we're in?! TORTURE! :)

2012-01-15T10:53:00.914-05:00

What a lovely idea Lori, I missed out on this one have not been too well, so felt I would not be able to attempt it just in case!
I hardly ever get comments anyway but I enjoy looking around other blogs and leave a comment if I can.

2012-01-15T10:10:51.677-05:00

To me your idea sounds just perfect. This time I have signed up for the BSBP for the very first time. I AM already very excited about just waiting for the "results". I love hopping around blogs from all over the world. There are not just lampworkers like me but also other very talented jewelry makers. It is always interesting, exciting and a big challenge for my own inspiration to see what other bloggers have to show. And in the end getting a positive feedback for your own beads or jewelry is a good feeling. Lori, when I saw a few days ago that you had also visited my blog I was very happy. And I will for sure feel the same way when other new visitors or readers show up in my blog.
Please, keep on with your wonderful idea. Thank you so much for all your efforts!

Looking forward to finding out who'll be participating in March. I'll hop and enjoy, and hope to get in on the next one.
On a completely different note. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your color board on Pinterest. I could have just repinned the whole thing myself! Love Pinterest.
Have fun with the hop.

2012-01-15T06:47:03.005-05:00

Aww Lori, I hope you haven't been stressing over this too much! The idea is great, and will give those of us that don't get in a nudge to push our own boundaries of creativity too. I personally have been struggling this new year to come up with ideas for jewellery. So either way, whether I'm picked or not, I feel I will be able to dedicate some much needed time to creating something!

Thank you Lori :)

Hello
Je suis française et suis arrivée sur votre blog en naviguant sur le net. Le peu que j'ai compris (oui je suis nulle en anglais ;) ) c'est que chacune participe quand même et envoie une photo quand elle a fini...
C'est une super idée !!!
Je perle pour le plaisir, cela me détend et me donne l'impression de pouvoir créer quelque chose !! ^^
Aussi je vais perler pour vous !!

2012-01-15T02:48:11.345-05:00

I really like your idea, Lori! Just one more way to participate if we chose to!

Regarding those who leave their blog address... I think we must consider that this is not typically done with ill intention. I did it when I started blogging, thinking no one would know who I was or how to contact me if I didn't. After a couple of days I realized that clicking on the photo of a person would take care of the job, and I was so happy not to have to keep typing in my url all the time! :-)

Brilliant idea! <3 I'll do that!

2012-01-14T23:28:51.846-05:00

that's a marvelous idea! and I know just what I'll use too: the wonderful ( if not my normal stuff!! ) bead soup you sent me around Christmas for winning your drawing!!

having said that, I still hope I get picked!!! I've already planned the main part I would be sending in.......
