This fun trio of springy fun will be on it's way to

Debbie or Kepi ;)

She's an amazing seed beading artist and jewelry designer and a fantastic lady.

Congrats Debbie!

Before I tell you about the pile of 3mm crystals above,

I want to show you the great things I received from Miranda

in her advent hop. Yep, before Christmas.

The kumihimo necklace in the center

was my Christmas gift.

I've had all the daily advent gifts together to be photographed,

and it's time to use them. So here are some photos.

Thanks you so much M!

I truly adore the amazing variety of the lot.

Love the stone butterfly.

I've never held a chain like that either.

It has great fluidity.

Here are some clasps, big fat pearls, shells and beautiful glass flowers.

Oh and some neat ear wires too.

This shows many of my favorites.

It was a brilliant idea for the 24 little gifts and one handmade gift.

I hope to remember to sign up again this year.

Okay now to the pile...

I wanted to make some rainbow earrings.

So here's what I came up with:

Then I wanted to make a similar necklace, but I did not want them to match.

When I made the necklace I was so use to making pairs

that I made pairs of green and purple for the necklace. Ooops!

So I threw in a gold and my Mardi Gras colored necklace came to be.

Still have a little pile of 3mm Swarvoski on the bead mat

so patriotic (red, white & blue) will be finished up soon.

Just trying to decided if I want earrings or a necklace and bracelet set.

Hope you are enjoying things around you today too.

So I've been shopping the new items at my favorite stores, and

I've picked up these items for a giveaway.

Bunny ceramic tile

washi egg

bunny charm

Yes, the tile has a tab on that makes it stand and a triangle ring for hanging so it's easy to display.
