Aquamarine

So, I mentioned earlier that I won a prize from EK Success for National Craft Month. And that it is AWESOME! By the way, if you haven't taken the chance to go to the EK Success website and sign up for a contest or something, you should! Anyway, this is what I made with the aquamarine Swarovski crystal beads! I made it to wear on Easter. Of course I then had to go and purchase something to match (found at Khol's for $8--cute short sleeved turtle neck sweater). Anyway, I hope this inspires you to create today! Happy crafting!!!

Ta da!

Ok...it took me FOUR hours to make this set...but I think it was worth I! Its my sneek peek reveal!!! What do you think? I love the colors and the different textures of the beads. Making these pieces was very rewarding and they make my soul happy. :) I hope you take the time today to create something fabulous. Happy creating!!!

Green: Exuding LIFE!

One color that just exudes the spring season is GREEN! So, here is my green tribute to spring. :) My DH says that the natural stone looks like gray, but you have to believe me that it really is GREEN!

I am so grateful for the talents that God has blessed me with--it helps me to have a creative outlet for my energy and helps me feel that I do make a difference in some little way. I hope you take the chance today to develop one of YOUR many talents--and if you want to learn a new one, it's possible! Happy crafting!

I've Got the Blues

Blue jewelry that is! I told you earlier that I would be posting my blues and greens--today it's the blues! I love the natural stone and the semi-precious gemstone chips together. And I love that this blue isn't deep--it's light and springlike! Just like the BEAUTIFUL weather we're having! Hope you like it--and I hope this inspires you to create something today! Happy beading!

PS: Stay tuned tomorrow for GREEN and another sneak peek!!!

More Jewels!

Here are pics of my most recent jewelry endeavor. I REALLY love purple! Our local bead store, Born to Bead (Derby, KS), was having a sale of 30% off natural stone, so I of course had to buy somethings! Stay tuned for blue and green!!! :) Happy crafting!
