Doing the Bead Soup Hop

There's been a lot of build up on my blog, and others, for the big Bead Soup Blog Hop. Well, I'm doing my best! I've had my tea, and coffee, and a smoothie, and even some water! Yet there is still SO FAR to go... I counted my cheat sheet and I've only visited 64 of the 209 other blogs so far.

I've been going through the list from 1-210 in order, but I'm also responding to any comments I get :) So I am going a little out of order for those. Its nice having it all printed up so I can cross things out, circle ones that hadn't posted yet (one because she's having a baby!). I wanted to have more done by now, but things have been a little busy. I'll talk about that more tomorrow.

That's just a quick sneak peek of what tomorrow's all about! It's going to be a busy day. I have news to share, a giveaway to host, and a surprise! I might not get it up until later in the day because I have two doctors appointments for myself and to take someone else to (nothing worrisome on my part, routine). I'm excited though and you should be too! You'll see what the orange has to do with it tomorrow :)

Charm of the Week: Eyeglass Leash/Holder

Simple, fun, rainbow eyeglass holder is lightweight. Sparkles in the light. Versatile enough to go with any outfit. The eyeglass holder measures 24 inches.

I wear eyeglasses and I know the importance of the holders staying on the glasses. The loops that hold the eyeglasses are very stiff and stays on glasses well. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34646102
