More Jewelry

Hello!! I hope you're all having a fun week! I'm anxiously awaiting some sunny weather that is supposed to hit this afternoon and last all weekend, temps in the 70's, 80's and possibly 90's?? This is a huge treat for us in the Seattle area, it has been YUCKY misty rain the last few days and mild temps for too long!! :D

I know this isn't stamping related, but still crafty, I thought I'd share some Mother's Day jewelry I made. Some 7 Gypsies Naked Bracelets I bought from Hope Stamps Eternal with pics of the grandkids for our parents and one for my sister with pics of her kids, using Chatterbox and Basicgrey patterned papers. (Sorry, one of the bracelets wasn't completed when I took the picture, I was waiting for one more photo to complete it). Also, some little Origami boxes and Candy Dishes to wrap them up in. Linda at the A Muse shop showed me how to make the Origami box on the left with the lid and I found a diagram online for the Candy Dishes. I used some various Basicgrey and Stampin Up patterned papers for those.

This next pic is a necklace and bracelet set I made for my MIL. She wears a lot of green and black so I know these are just the right colors for her.

I purchase a lot of my beads at a local bead shop called Bead Club but I also pick up beads here and there at Michaels or other crafty places if I see something I like. I really enjoy beading but don't do too much, mostly just earrings. I just got done making several pairs for my DD, she got her ears pierced last fall and is just now starting to wear some dangly ones here and there. I'm just worried they might get caught on something and rip out while she's playing!! :D The joys of being a worried mom!! :D

Have a wonderful day today!!  LOST is on tonight!! Woohoo!! Also, today is the first day to register for A*Muse-a-palooza!!! Make sure you sign up so you have a chance to win the weekly drawings!!
