Happy Holidays to All!

Just a simple, short wish during these hectic, hustle and bustle days. Happy Holidays to all! Try to take just a little time for yourselves and enjoy the season, I know I am this year.  I just sat down to write this and am enjoying a cup of hot chocolate with a yummy, homemade marshmallow, a gift from a  friend. Her instructions were: take time during the hustle and bustle, sit, enjoy the cocoa and relax. I'm listening to Christmas carols on the radio and smiling to myself. What a wonderful and blessed life I have and many great friends!  Happy Holidays to you all!

Holiday Wishes

Let the Shopping Begin

One of my promises to myself after the holiday show I was in,  was to start posting more to my Etsy site. I'm happy to say that I'm getting much better and have posted a few things. Now, to get the same commitment with my blog! Those of you who have blogs and post regularly, any tips for trying to post once a week or better? I'd love to hear from you!

Caramel and Blue.stone
This was a bracelet that I had a lot of fun creating. I purchased sterling silver wire a year or so ago and decided it was time to use some of it! Am I the only one who buys things and thinks "I have to have this!", then my "have to have" item sits quietly on a shelf or in a drawer somewhere while I get distracted by another project. Oh well, it sure is fun to "find" it later. I had  never created my own wire wraps/loops and had a lot of fun with this bracelet. I also love the new toggle that I found. It fits small to large size wrists.

Natures beauty
I've been loving my stuff from a Vintaj Brass order and created this necklace using their chain, leaf charm, and a vintage aqua bead, swarovski crystal and snakeskin jasper pendant that I had in my bead stash. Well, off to take a few more photos for posting on Etsy.
