<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">I am taking part in this annual event for the first time. It's organised by Lori Anderson from her</span> <a href="http://lorianderson-beadsoupblogparty.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">blog.</a></span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>To start the process, Lori pairs everyone up (a lot of work when there are over 400 of us!) Then we contact our partners and send them a 'bead soup', including a focal bead, a clasp and assorted beads to match.</b></span></div>
<div>
<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #cccccc;">Then we all have until May 3rd to come up with our designs.</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #ffd966; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">I was very excited to meet my partner</span> <a href="http://maddy-moo.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Maddison Langford,</a> <span style="color: #d0e0e3;">a graduate in fashion design, and an avid crafter with a shop on </span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TheHouseOfLangford?ref=ss_profile" target="_blank">Etsy.</a> <span style="color: #d0e0e3;">She is a regular blogger and has lots of different interests and commitments, including teaching. Among other things, she makes the most intricate gemstone trees.</span></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I had fun putting together my soup for Maddy - nothing like playing with your beads! I know she's received it now, so I can show you what I sent. (Another blog post to follow when her soup arrives with me :)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">The focal is this handmade ceramic pendant by Natalie Fletcher of</span> <a href="http://www.peruzi.net/" target="_blank">Peruzi</a>. <span style="color: #d0e0e3;">I have quite a stash of her wonderful beads...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well, if I need a reason, the rain has finally stopped, the sun has been shining and the spring flowers are flowering :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">One of my New Year's Resolutions was to finish a project before going on to the next one. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The problem, however, if you want to call it that, lies stashed in some mini sets of drawers that I keep near my work-table. They are a great idea - somewhere to tidy away projects I'm working on till I get time to finish them - except that it's been a case of 'out of sight, out of mind'.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A recent exploration of said drawers revealed quite a lot of UFOs. And some beads I'd forgotten about too :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So I'm on a mission to finish some of them. I started with this, begun a couple of months ago. It only actually took a couple of hours:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I spent the afternoon making and photographing these earrings, and couldn't resist taking a picture of them all together. Not quite a rainbow, but lots of pretty pink and blue and some new colours too. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Anyway, onto the reason for today's post - a special offer in my Etsy jewellery shop. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If there's something you've had your eye on, well, today it's got a discount of 25% off. </span></span><br />

It marks the halfway point of this month. The snowdrops are out, the daffodils are pushing up, and spring can't be far away :)</span><br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
I'm offering one lucky winner a pair of glass teardrop earrings of their choice from my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Phoebedreams/search?search_query=glass+teardrop&order=date_desc&view_type=gallery&ref=shop_search" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a> :</div>
<div>

<div>
How to enter:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*Just leave a comment here by 9pm tomorrow, Friday 20th Dec, preferably including your email so I can contact you if you are the winner.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That's it!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will do the draw shortly after that, and will announce on facebook that I have done it (but won't post the winner's name as that seems to be against the rules!)</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will post the winner's name on here.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The winner will pick one pair of glass teardrop earrings from my shop and I will send them to you. They may not arrive in time for Christmas, but should hopefully be with you shortly afterwards :)<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Good luck!<br />
<br />
NB: if I don't hear from the winner by 9am Saturday 21st, I will draw another winner.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Certainly <b>I</b> frequently end up like this, with beads and various projects <strike>scattered</strike> arranged everywhere, until I am literally working on the very edge of the table.

And thanks too to everyone who commented on the bracelet - it was a new technique for me and I was pleased with how it turned out.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Anyway, earlier this evening I did the draw. I wrote down the names of everyone who had entered and assigned everyone a number. Then I used random.org - </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This was the bracelet I made using an adorable burnt wood tile from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/JLynnJewels?ref=ss_profile" target="_blank">J-Lynn Jewels</a>:</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I enjoyed matching beads, gemstones and metals with the pretty colours in the heart. It's funny how you start off with an idea in your head, but, as you start putting it together the design sort of takes off by itself. You end up with something a little bit unexpected, but even more pleasing, as it's a bit of a surprise!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've also just completed some earrings using fabulous handmade lampwork beads by UK artist Shirley Giles from <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/fyrebirds/" target="_blank">Fyrebirds</a>. They are greenish in shade with an amazing depth and intensity. I think the lovely handmade sterling silver earring wires from Etsy artist Tracy Smith at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/CinnamonJewellery" target="_blank">Cinnamon Jewellery</a> complement them perfectly:</span><br />
