Question...

What does one do when she is sick and can't go play outside???

Well, the answer is: One should be productive & make jewelry...

And that is exactly what I did yesterday afternoon, thanks to my daily journal. I started one this year, nothing fancy but just something to jot my thoughts in.

I bought it at Silver Bella from Curious Sofa during vendor night. Since I have close access to everyone's birth dates on a daily basis now, I figured I'd get a head start in making some birthday gifts also! I don't know about you, but I really hate crunch time when it comes to finding that perfect last minute gift. For those of you who know me know that I am not big on shopping - unless it's a garage sale or flea market or Hobby Lobby or Michael's!

So, I made these beaded crosses to hang from the rear-view mirror of a vehicle. I made one for a special sweetie with a matching key chain of her high school colors because she is getting her real license this year. (I'm sure she is reading this... So sweetie, you better act surprised when you get it! Oh, and you better not tell your mom because she is getting one too for her birthday!) It's so hard for me to keep secrets on my blog!!!! geez!

Hi Jodie...I love your 'car' jewelry. You photographed it so nicely. I think I have a bracelet with those vintage white beads on the bottom. Are they vintage? Stephanie & I have garaged saled on a few occassions...but it would be a lot of fun to go with you sometime...maybe we can roadtrip!!!
