Check out ChunkyBling.com

I came across this great jewelry website called ChunkyBling.com. They specialize in those cute, beaded, interchangeable watches. But they've also got a great selection of chunky bracelets, rings, and interchangeable charm necklaces. This jewelry is really cute and the price is really great! They even have a jewelry naming contest where you can win stuff. If you haven't checked them out, you should definitely take a look at their site. My favorite band and face combo is the Medium Round Silver face...with (oh, okay, I have 3 favorites) either the Perfectly Posh Pearls, the Breakfast at Tiffany's, or Diamonds and Ice!!!! I like the Breakfast at Tiffany's Cluster and all the pearl bracelets...especially elegant pearl! Check out this site - its so cute! Just use any of these links below!!! These would make awesome gifts - or something great to treat yourself to!

Some weekend crafting...

Hi...been a while, I know. I had some time to make a few things...only 2 of which I have photos for. I worked a little on a teacher gift for Valentine's Day...or...someone and did some hand cutting this weekend. I'll post those pics later. I did create this GREAT little butterfly montage, perfect for someone having a little girl!! Too bad ALL my friends just had BOYS!!!



Then, that Valentine Decoration...its only about 5" tall, maybe 6. What else should I do with a gazillion yards of ribbon that I own? haha. Teacher gift was the plan...we'll see. Its pretty dang cute hanging in my kitchen.




I'm sure I'll have the camera out tomorrow afternoon...hopefully I can finish the shirts. My kids and I will be creating those over the next few days. Until then....

I have to share this...

Sharing recently Made to Match OSHKOSH

This is SO CUTE! I LOVE the colors...
This OSHKOSH outfit was brought to me the other day...and today I finally got to photograph the work...

Love the little bird embroidery... It was made for a little one, thus the smaller 2" bow, but I was inspired and I made a "larger" one with spikes (believe it or not, its only about 2.5" wide)!
