It's been a busy busy busy ........ summer! Where did the time go? When Lisa sent me the beads months ago I had all kinds of plans for them. Well you know the adage -
Best laid plans of mice and men - that's me this summer. Lots of plans and Lots of interferences!
Beads I had to work with. I think most of these came from
Znetshows.com which has a wonderful selection of beads including this sea glass at very reasonable prices.
I love sets soooo......
I wanted to match an anklet I had made last year to make a complete set. These beads were perfect!
This is the anklet I made last summer for the
Summer Elements Blog Hop by Rita with Toltec Jewels. I wore it when my husband & I went on our first solo couple vacation for our anniversary to Cabo San Lucas. BLAST!!!
Not a great picture. Definitely need a new one. But I'm in Houston, TX & the anklet is in New Braunfels (at home), soooooo.... This will have to do!
Thank you
Lisa for putting on this wonderful blog hop! I will be creating more items with the rest of the beads at a later date. I have some fantastic ideas for those lovely blue crystals!
Now I'm off to take a wonderful carnival ride! Join me by clicking here -
CARNIVAL RIDE!
Congrats on getting a set of great jewelry together and for yourself!
