Pearl Bracelet

I finally remembered to take my camera out of the car. This is the bracelet I made at bead class last Wednesday.

The long things are actually pearls. The smaller beads are a fire polish glass. It was fun to learn a new technique. I have several ideas I want to try. It is very comfortable to wear and I have not caught it on anything.

MPS Challenge - Father's Day

Can't wait to make more. I cut 5 seahorses so I can make four more to sell. Probably "HELLO" or some other wording. I just think it turned our really cute. I might make a few in blue. I absolutely love the Create A Critter cartridge and can't wait to buy My Pink Stamper's punny-lisous stamp set. Ok...well, I guess it is time to head to bed so I can go to work in the morning. Five hours of sleep will have to do. :-)

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a Wonderful Week!!!

Happy Memorial Day.

God Bless our Military and thier loving Families.

Swarovski Bracelets

Took a class the other night at Craft Warehouse on how to make this beaded bracelet. I had to tear apart the one I made in class because I didn't like the clasp they used. I like the toggles better. Here are the two revamped ones I made later that night.


8mm BC Rose, 8mm Clear and 3mm BC Crystal AB. I didn't have the 3mm clear so used what I had.

6mm BC 2ABX Peridot, 6mm and 4mm BC White Opal.
.
I have a bunch of Swarovski pearls that I think I am going to try and use the same pattern with. I might have to tweek it a little because of the shape.

Happy Mother's Day

I want to wish all the mother's out there a Happy Mother's Day.

.

To my fellow Fur-Mommy's Happy Mother's Day to you too!
.
Mother's Day Poen from the Dog:

.
You feed me when I'm hungry,

You keep water in my dish,

You let me sleep on anything

Or in any place I wish.

.
You sometimes let me lick your hands,
or even lick your face,
Despite the fact I've licked myself
In every private place.
.
You taught me how to come when called,

You taught me how to sit,
You always let me go outside,
So I can take a stroll.
.
You'll always have my loyalty,
up to the bitter end,
'cause after all, it's plain to see...

.

You are a Dog's best Friend!

.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Here are my special little Girls...

.

My little Angel. Missy (my first Pom) passed away the day after she was born so I hand raised her from birth. She wasn't suppose to even be born but she proved the vets wrong. She does have her health issues but for a little girl that wasn't suppose to live she is doing wonderful!! Angel will be 15yr old next month. She is my baby and I love her to pieces. :)

This is Miss Bella. She came to live with us two years ago this month at the age of about three. We are her fifth and forever home. She is a sweet little girl who love to play with her toys and believe it or not gets excited when I pull out her little dresses.

Graduation Card

I am going to a graduation in just over a week and, of course, I needed a Grad card. This is what I came up with. Not sure how much I really like it but here it is.

MPS Challenge - NSD Challenge #5 "Teacher Appreciation Day"

~National Scrapbook Day~

My Pink Stamper had challenges all day yesterday.

Challenge #5

Create something for Teacher Appreciation Week or for someone you appreciate.

.

Just a simple card.

MPS Challenge - NSD Challenge #7 "HEY DAD"

~ National Scrapbook Day~

My Pink Stamper had challenges all day today.

Challenge #7~

Make something for a "Dad" or guy in your life. It does not have to be for Father's Day but try to make it masculine.

.

I decided to make a card for my Dad for Father's Day.

I cut two of the shadow robots and glued the top part together so it stands and so I could write a message inside for my Dad.

I used the "window" feature for the belly of the robot. I used a piece of plastic to make the little window. I used the Martha Stewart punch around the page for the hearts.
