A trio of things today! First off, a photo of my Bud playing Lacrosse on Thursday (he's number 10 in the middle of the photo). What a violent little sport that is - the boys wear helmets because they are allowed to smack each other with the sticks. The girls don't wear helmets because they aren't supposed to smack each other with the sticks. Interesting, huh? I propose girls wear helmets for sports, because they can get concussions, I should know right???
Next is a photo of a set of enameled beads I made. Would you, my loyal blog readers, be willing to buy these color-coordinated sets? I have been having fun mixing colors to get some really cool flavors, and I think sets would be good if you like the color and want to use some as pairs or some separate?
Then, we have my earring kits. I originally put these together for the Holiday Shoppe I was doing at my daughter's school. Turns out it's just not lucrative enough for me to sit there all day and feel sick from the heat and coffee smell! So I have these kits available that I'd like to sell - what say you, blog readers? Yea or nay?
The AE Theme Challenge this month is Repurpose chosen by Lesley. Great subject, and I wish I had more time to work on it. The day job kind of takes away my creative energy at times, and this month is no exception! However I did manage to do a few things! The first thing I thought of for the theme was something I had been thinking about for a long time. I remembered I had this magazine that repurposed those desiccant containers you get in pill bottles into beaded beads. I set out to find that magazine in my stash. I'm glad I found it, because it was actually driving me nuts as to where it was. Here are some photos of me in the process of making some of these beads. So the first one I made, I liked ok. But noticed on the end that you could see the white container through the ends. So I got a sharpie out for the next one, and colored the ends so they didn't look so white. Then I made a few more of these beads, and quite honestly, I was done with...

I love the idea of color coded sets. I think having a set with three colors that go well together would be nice too.
