Links….

The weekend flew by.  I played around with some new beads.  Made some soup.  Soup sunday is alive and well–last night we ate it out of paper bowls because we are "so over" doing dishes…at least yesterday.  Here’s the links from the bead bloggers, sans mine.  I always forget to post on the weeks of Ornament Thursday.  Duh.
