My Bead Soup Ingredients Have Arrived

I was so excited to open up my mailbox yesterday and find this:

Woo-hoo!  My beads from Magda of Poranna Recznie Zrobilia had arrived!

Here is a postcard from her town of Lebork:

And under the postcard were these three little packages:

I couldn't wait to open them up, and here's what I found:

What fun ingredients for my soup!  Magda made the polymer clay heart - her first attempt, and I must say that she did a fantastic job!  She also made the clasps, and I already have some ideas on how to use them.

Thanks so much, Magda - I can't wait to get started!

And a gazillion thank yous go out to Lori Anderson of Pretty Things for the endless hours she has spent and will spend on hosting this unbelievable event that has a whopping 362 participants!
