So then I decided that I was going to make my actual room roommate, Tabitha, a necklace and some earrings for her birthday this Friday... well on Sunday she wanted to see what I was making and I told her before that I was going to make her some jewelry and I told her that it was her birthday present and that she couldn't see them... but any one that knows me knows that when I'm excited about a gift, especially a gift that I've made, I CAN'T not show them! so I caved... Tabitha got her present like a week early! Oh and I caved and showed Lauren her jewelry the night that I made them too because I was REALLY proud of them! She LOVED them, but I'm glad I showed them to her because the necklace and bracelet had to be resized... all in all I'm really proud of it all! I also made my boyfriend's sister, Erica, a really pretty bracelet with my great-grandma's old old beads... It was soooo pretty, but I didn't get a picture of it :(
All in all my Saturday was really productive creatively, I wish maybe I had gotten out of the house or something, but hey... I got alot done... like making Lauren's card for her bridal shower... I was soooo excited when I went to JoAnn's Fabrics because they are having the ubber HUGE! sale and I got 30 pieces of scrapbook paper (nice! scrapbook paper) for $5!!! and to make that even more exciting for me they had a couple pieces of paper that matched thier wedding colors.... green and navy blue... when you ask Ashby he says, puke green and navy blue... I think it looks nice... The card turned out great! I miss having time to be ultra-crafty!

ReplyDeleteA weekend well spent!
I'm glad you are using grandmother watkins beads. I knew you were the child to give them too. Make something for your self to keep. They were very special to me, because she gave them to me and now I passed them on to you. :)
