Reveal Day!

Just wanted to update all of you my wonderful readers with some important dates.  Today is the reveal day for a couple of goings on in the bead world.

Today is the reveal for Michelle Mach's Secret Snowflake Challenge.  Although I didn't participate in the challenge this time, the reveal pieces are inspiring and beautiful.  Here is the list of participants.  Check them out to see all the different creations using this kit.  Each artist has her own ideas of how to use these beautiful components.

Today is also the reveal day for the Bead Soup Blog Party participant's list.  I know that I will be on the edge of my seat all day today waiting for the reveal - wondering if I was lucky enough to be included in this round.  Lori Anderson is such an amazing artist, mother and business woman.  If you don't already, you need to be reading her blog Pretty Things.  It takes an impressive amount of time to randomize all of the participants, then to pair up the lucky 200 chosen jewelry artists.  

Good Luck to everyone who has entered!  AND don't forget to take a look at all of the wonderful creations in Michelle's challenge.

Much Love,
