Here are my hand-made gifts....

I've been a busy little elf... :)

Here are some earrings made with the TSB images 
lollipop & holly ...


Purchase these earrings, $8.00 per pair

SOLD (both)

I used my copics, shrink plastic & jewelry findings 
for some funky fun earrings for gift giving...

******************************************



This is my Breast Cancer Bangle bracelet - not sure whom it will go to but I have made it anyways. 
I am in the habit of creating things & then storing them for the 'right' person... I love the little pink ribbon beads...

Purchase Pink BC Bangle Bracelet $25.00
(see listing at bottom)


**********************



Its a beading kinda time for me right now... I call this set 
Blue Crush...
It is a long pendant style with hammered silver accents with blue glass, 
the bracelet is all hammered silver and easy
elegant silver hoop earrings...
It just sparkles...

Purchase Blue Crush set complete $45.00
(see list at bottom)

*********************************




I am loving the silk tied sets... this one is called
Green Silk Stones...
I love the delicate nature of the set with the hand knotted silk cording with the stones along the necklace & pendant accent.  
I used a 14ct gold hoop set for the earrings 

Purchase  Green Silk Stones  complete set for $45.00
(see list at bottom)

****************************************

Here is another set...


This one is 
Purple Haze... 
again the hand knotted silk cording 
with satin silver & purples beads with a little glass accents...
cute matching earrings...

Purchase the complete set for $45.00



*************************************



It wouldn't be me if I didn't have some Dragonflies somewhere!  :)
These are definitely my favorite!
I love how the glass teardrop beads work well for the 
wings & then the small crystals with sterling or gold beads
to make up the tail... 
is it called a tail on a Dragonfly???  


I seem to always make up the post-it notes
posty purse notes for stocking stuffers.  I do
get carried away with the variety of paper colors...

*************************************


Ooooh... another set ...
Purple Moon... 
lots of purple, glass & crystals, 
a double necklace pendant with matching 
bracelet & earrings....

Purchase  Purple Moon  complete set for $45.00
(see list at bottom)

************************************



A simple but effective hand-stitched 4" x 5" 
journal - I just simply call "Red".  I love the seed 
bead accent hooped dangles along the 
exposed stitch spine...
I've missed making journals...
must get back to it...



That's the end of my show... LOL
