I've been MIA!
 

I missed you guys! I was sick with a cold for over a week but feel better now. I've been keeping myself busy making birthstone bracelets and some other bracelets. I love beading it's so much fun! But now I'm getting extra orders in from some of my friends so that's what I have to do today.

Today is my anniversary too. We've been married for 13 years!:eek: It went so fast! I hope I can get back in the loop soon!:)

Wondered what happened to you!!!! Glad you're feeling better. Now you know we're going to want to see what your bracelets look like, right? So now we need a picture of them. I bet they are beautiful. I like doing crafts like that too, but have not tried beading yet. Maybe I'll have to look into it.:)


Oh,..and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!

HOPE THERE ARE MANY MORE HAPPY YEARS TO COME!!

So sorry to hear you've been sick but so glad that you are feeling better:) You were missed around here and it's very good to see you back:)

Happy Anniversary!! Any special plans? Hope you both have a very wonderful day:)

Thank you!! No special plans today. My husband treats me so well all year round I told him he doesn't need to do anything special today because everyday is special with him. How sappy was that! But really it's true.:)

Thanks Janet! I swear beading is like therapy! Here's a couple of bracelets I made yesterday. The first one is a little girls birthstone bracelet made with sterling silver, Swarovsky crystals and freshwater pearls. The 2nd one is a Mother's bracelet with two different birthstones made with the same material as the 1st. And the last one I made for myself out of glass beads, freshwater pearls and crystal.

Today I'm going to design a breast cancer awareness bracelet after I do a few child bracelets.

I really enjoy it so much!

Those are really pretty!! I just love bracelets!!

Carolyn the bracelets are just lovely!!! I would love to learn how to make them.


Are there kits one can buy or tips you can share? I really would like to give it a try. :)

Janet they do sell kits at craft stores that you might want to try. I just hopped right into it! My daughter loves bracelets so I decided hey why not make them myself. I just finished another one with Rubies. It's really fun!

You can also get a beading magazine and see if it's something you think you might get into. I like http://www.beadstylemag.com/

Welcome back to us all here Carolyn! And...glad you are feeling better. You are so talented with your beading projects, I am envious!! :o We are having a huge yearly crafts fair in town this weekend. I am sure your bracelets would be a great hit here!! Too bad you didn't live closer.

Thanks Sheryl! I might do a craft fair eventually but the only thing is the bracelets I make are basically made to order. But it does sound like fun!:)

Oh gosh! I forgot to tell you Happy Anniversary!!!! Don't know how I forgot that important day, geez!! :congrats: :bravo: :cake: :congrats: :bravo: :cake:

Thanks Carolyn, I'm gonna start checking into this. There are a few good craft stores in nearby Lafayette, so I'm gonna check it out this weekend. :thumbup:
