Bead Swap

Jayne does decoupage boxes and sent the stash in this box!
Kilt pin, pearl in a bird's nest, and a suitcase charm she altered.
Yummy polymer bead from Cathryn of Chili Cats.
Assorted gems.
More assorted gems.


I participated in an August Bead Swap that the lovely Lori Anderson arranged. My partner was Jayne Capps, aka Boot-C. Here are some photos of what she sent me! Aren't they great? She somehow sensed that I really like green! She also made a few things too! Very nice of her!

How fun! I totally missed the boat on this bead swap. I am just not good at accessing that yahoo group and I never get the emails. Drats. These are great. I love the little suitcase...where are you going to take that one on a trip?
Enjoy the day!

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! 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!
