So, I'm pretty behind in posting this - especially since the reveal is scheduled for Saturday! Haha, well better to be late than miss it entirely, right? Anyways, my partner did indeed receive my package! I was pretty worried about what to send and how to send it, seeing as how I'd never participated in a bead soup swap before! I dug up my first beads purchased outside of chain stores like JoAnn's, the first bead I'd ever gotten as a present, beads from Tennessee, and some from England. I also sent a pendant I had made and those white flowery toggle/clothing attachment things I'm pretty sure I got in a shop in Cambridge. When I saw it I thought that it would be pretty cool if someone figured out how to use them as a clasp. Ironically, after I sent this package, I made a necklace that really could have used the white toggle. I wrapped the pendant in the blue flowery material, that wrapped everything in the green Hawaiian material that it is all laid out on. Now, this is what that pendant was supposed to look like: a really awesome key with a clock-hand on top. In the big picture Karen posted, I couldn't see the clock-hand, so I've been praying on and off that it didn't break off in the mail, because that would seriously suck.

I found the clock hand! I guess it jumped out of the package when I opened everything. I will let you know what I make with it.

Ah, I'm so glad you found it! (But I'm also really sad that it broke apart in the mail...) I'm excited to see what you'll do with it!
