Goodies for the Checkerboard Hop

Hello everyone.  Here are my pictures of the wonderful beads I received for the Pine Ridge Treasures Checkerboard Hop.

This packet is the Pearl set.  There are so many beads here, I almost couldn't fit them all into one snapshot!

Here are some close-ups.  The red is so rich in color!  Lisa gave us a fabulous selection of matte and shiny textures and lots of sizes.  I love those sand dollar components, don't you? Here's my chance to try flat beads with unusual shapes, too.

Let the 'Designing Begin' !
Have a great rest of the weekend,
Carol

The Checkerboard Blog Hop 2015

I was selected to participate in a very special blog hop coming in February 2015.   The Blog is Hosted by Lisa Lodge:

I know that seems like a long time, but the time truly does fly-by considering everything we need to plan and do!  I like that I've got a bunch of time to work out my design and how I might create some extra special elements!  I've chosen the pearl kit, and can't hardly wait to see all the great starting pieces for the hop kit when they arrive!   This is going to be a lot of fun!  As soon as I get my hop kit, I will post a bunch of pics.
Keep watching!
