More Storms

Thanks to everyone who left me well wishes about the big horrible storm we had. I know my pool was trashed, but so many people had it so much worse.

If you don't hear from me again, it's because we have no electricity!

I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells!
