Thanksgiving Friday

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Now, the holidays are officially here!

Today, I am thankful for REWARDS.

Rewarding yourself often is absolutely necessary.

Thanksgiving Week

Hello there!

We're celebrating Thanksgiving in the U.S. this Thursday

and I'll take a break from crafting to make time

for some thanks giving. I think it's important to

count our blessings and see how rich we truly are.

Today, I'm thankful for MIRACLES.

A photo of the TV screen last month, where rescue operations were

on-going to save 33 miners trapped underground for 69 days.

The world watched in awe when each miner was brought to

safety and into the arms of their loved ones.

Absolutely breathtaking.

Black and Silver

If you're a regular visitor to this blog, you may

have noticed that I love making jewelry.

And the stuff I make, I really wear.

If I were a designer, I'd probably be a

jewelry designer and one of my

collections would be called "Black & Silver",

as you've seen all this week.

I used the black cord from this old, blah paper

bag to create Tada! pieces.

Just like this one:

Tada! An arm piece that looks high fashion with

the addition of silver thread strung around the cord

and a silver flower brooch.

I can easily change the look by changing the brooch!

Have a fantastic weekend ya 'all!

Captivating Cord

Today, I have another idea on how to transform

the black cord from this paper bag

from blah to Tada!

I crafted a necklace!

The silver elements are really clip-on earrings

that I found at a flea market but haven't worn yet.

I'll keep adding more earrings {especially those without a pair}

and brooches to add more personality to this necklace.

Meanwhile, it's a work in progress!
