The Reveal....Soon!

The Bead Soup Blog Party will be culminating this weekend!  By this Saturday, September 17th, everyone will have their amazing handiwork for show and tell, and will be blog hopping, enjoying a reveal of all the beautiful creations for days to come.  Over 360 participants!!!

I'd better finish up my project & get to snapping photos!

Meanwhile, here's another photo of the soup ingredients I'm working on:

Thanks to my partner - Kitty!  'S gonna be fab!

My Bead Soup Arrived!

I received my bead soup from my partner, Kitty!!! 

Oh, the thrill of opening each little item!  But before I show you, Kitty had posted a really cool bead soup teaser pic, to keep us guessing:

  

The color scheme is one of my favs!

I opened the package to find a lovely card...French, of course!

Then, I found these two little bags...aren't they just adorable?!  

And stuffed full!

And each bag had it's own handmade tag

In the first bag was a special gift to me!

This is Kitty's metal work and I LOVE IT!!! 

 

How did she know I was passionate?!

 

Inside the second bag...

 THE SOUP!

Just looky at this generous helping of soup!

I've had fun arranging different designs already...this will be a fun challenge for me.

 

The metal tags and resin bezel were also made by Kitty...

 

I can see I'm going to be a regular fan of hers

My soup is chock full of delightful goodies! Mercy!

Oh....I mean, 

merci beadsoup!

Soup, Soup, Who's in the Soup?

Does the blog post title take you back a few years?  I haven't thought about my favorite childhood game since heck was a pup!  But tonight, the phrase just crept forward from the ancient archives of my memory.

My sister and I, cousins, and neighborhood kids used to stay outside til after dark playing this "interactive" game (to use 21st century verbiage).  The children formed a circle around one blindfolded person who stood with outstretched pointing finger while slowly twirling and reciting the game's mantra in monotone (spooky-ish) tone:

"Soup, soup, who's in the soup?"

Whomever the pointed finger landed on when the question ended, had to reply what kind of soup they were, but with a disguised voice: "TOMATO SOUP!" (deep, husky voice).  If the blindfolded guessed who spoke, they gave chase and if "tomato soup" was caught, they had to return to the middle of the circle and be "it".  Such were the days of my youth, ah......

In my last post, I sorta blindfolded YOU and asked:  

Soup, soup, who's in the soup? 

 Can you guess?


Ok, let's take off the steamy lid, so we're able to get a peek...

I think we could call it "Seashell Macaroni"!  LOL.

This is the bead soup I sent to my partner, Kitty at Perles and Life; I do hope she likes the ingredients I sent.

And tomorrow, we shall find out "Who's in the Soup" that Kitty sent to me!  I can't wait to show you!  Off to shoot photos...
