Won't be posting for 2 weeks as I am off to Hawaii for some fun in the sun!!!

 Here is my fabulous bead soup sent from my partner Kristina @  peacockandlime.. I just love the little bird.. I have an idea for the lovely silver barrel beads.... More later!! 

Here's the Bead Soup that I sent my partner  Kristina at  PeacockandLime.com  ................The emerald green is Pantones colour of the year.  It just happens to be a favorite of mine!!

 

A hint of what I sent to my partner!!

Super excited.... Lori at  Pretty Things sent my partners name last weekend.   After reviewing my soup partners blog and web-site I finally decided what to send her.  It took me a few days to decide.  The lampwork beads are some that I really like making and  favorite colours of mine...  (sent the pkge. off yesterday so she should have it by early next week!!)

 Here's a little hint of the Bead Soup that I sent to my partner  Kristina   over at Peacock and Lime.. I just love the name of her blog, web-site etc.  Those colours are  2  of my  favs.   (peacock , lime)  I sent her a little surprise in those colours...hope she likes it!!

I have been busy making 35 servings of Minestroni Soup  (how fitting... it is a really soupy week!!)  for some of Kelowna's  street kids.  The Boys & Girls Club have a drop in centre down town where they get 30 - 40 kids that drop in for lunch every day.  My husband's Rotary Club is taking turns making soup for them a couple of times a month.  I was quite impressed with  the place.  They also make other food from scratch and teach the kids how to cook!!  I am now donating all my gently used clothing (that is suitable) to the Club...This is something where  we can see ...results.... in our own city!!

Till next time... ..Happy Valentine's Day

A fine Fellow

 This fine fellow was sitting in one of our trees yesterday...There seem to be more eagles and hawks flying around our house as of late.  Yesterday I just about hit a deer that jumped out in front of my car.  Stopped just in time!!!
