Oh goodness, I just keep getting spoiled!
Here are the awesome and beautiful beads Krafty_Karasu sent me:

Some Ruby, Siam, Milky Green, and Jet swarovski crystal:


Clear, Smoky, and Red crackle glass (they look like shards of ice!)


Gorgeous cut glass red and black:


Two shades of red glass:


Green opaque glass:


Red, clear, amber, and green swirl tear drops:


The very beautiful Twilight-esque earrings, which I am totally wearing to my cousin's wedding tomorrow:


All my goodies together:


Krafty!  You totally got me!!!  We're totally going to have to do that personal swap at some point!  In the mean time I think I have enough to keep me crafting jewelry for my Twilight Swap, and then some!  Maybe I should open that etsy my husband is trying to talk me into...  Hehehehe...

THANK YOU SO MUCH KRAFTY_KARASU!!!

I'm so glad you like everything.  I will have you know you robbed me of those colors of Swarovski crystals.     it's a good thing I ordered more.

and you got a few soups there.  I put like beads together, but the colors were mixed.  so you got to sort something.

i received from AbbyRose. :-D
Here are a few pics. I haven't had time to go through everything yet.  I would like a few hours uninterruped to play and haven't had that opportunity yet.

Everything together (hemp/beads/card):


My totally awesome ring.  (honestly, i was hoping for a button ring, lol. you musta read my mind)

Oh good, I'm glad you like the earrings katcal

I had fun sorting my bead soup - found some little swarovskis in there and all sorts of cool stuff - I love the big ceramic ones with a metallic finish! Thanks again

The beads I sent were in kind of "mini soups" so you still had a bit of sorting to do!

Hehehe... Thanks to Krafty_Karasu's amazing package, I made a bunch of Twilight themed jewelry last night, for my Twilight swap, myself, and to add to the general growing stock pile of jewelry in my craft room.   After this beadgasmic swap, I might have to open that etsy my husband keeps trying to talk me into...  hehe

Ok, here's my pictures of the wonderful things I received from Chibi and Ronda.  Fair warning, there are a LOT of pictures

I don't know if these count as milifiore, since there's really only one flower - maybe unafiore?    But really it doesn't matter because I love these a thousand times more than regular milifiore beads -



Here are the fabulous stone beads still on their strings -





Here they are unstrung and separated, the glass flowers are done by dominant color.  Ronda, I'd love if you could ID the stones for me.  I know some, but most I'd just be guessing -



Here's the rest of the wonderful glass beads.  Some of them don't have great focus, my camera just didn't seem to like them -







And here are the awesome metal charms and findings.  The three bags are hooks and rings and leaf charms.  The two cups are filled with tiny awesome things -







There was also a beautiful pair of earrings and a collection of stones from Ronda which somehow failed to make it into my crafter photo hosting, so I"ll have to track them down and post them later.  I've also started making some adorable bracelets and I'll post some pictures of those as well

Thank you so much, Chibi and Ronda!!!
