Another guess.

Hint: someplace we should all be once a day.

(could have had horrible consequences for me if I

wasn't careful)

Hop on over to Studio Waterstone for more 

macro goodness.

I.Heart.Macro

Again, I was stalking my neighborhood,

oh well.

Found in my neighbor's front yard…..

the tree box space, I wasn't someplace I shouldn't

have been!

They really were spectacular. I stalked them all week, snapping here

and there, watching them grow. :)

wonderful blog Studio Waterstone!

Goodness!

First,

BEADY GOODNESS

Mindy Moogin beads

I love her beads and have finally broken down and

purchased two sets (only one pictured here)

and a focal (the single on top)

I love looking at them, holding them, loving them :)

So summery and luscious.

Second.

A while back my sister-in-law gave me four

crosses from her mother that she wanted me to create

with. Ultimately, she will have one, I will have one and my

daughter will have one.

These are old crosses, each one different. 

One brass/gold, one black onyx (?) with turquoise, gold and pearls, 

and two that are silver.

I have used the brass/gold one and next in line is 

the black onyx one. 

And……..

I got to play this weekend.

I have wire wrapped the whole necklace, used turquoise seed beads,

antique pearls and black czech beads. The necklace is on the longer side,

hitting right below the bust line.

I am lovin' it.

Happy Wednesday all.

Quintessential Summer.

Have a great Sunday.

What exactly have I been up to?

Here, let me show you!

First we did this.

Prom.

Then we did this.

Congratulations Caroline! You did it and we are all so proud of you.

Followed the next day by this.

PARTY CUPCAKES!!!!

Now, this is the ONLY picture of her graduation party

that I have. Seriously! I was planning on taking a bunch,

I mean, I had 65 people in my house.

But, right smack dab in the middle of the party,

(as I sat down to eat)

Danger Boy did this.

(graphic, you may want to just scroll right on down)

Yup, jumped down the stairs, didn't duck and smacked his

head on the wall/ceiling edge. 8 staples. Required an ambulance

ride to the ER as his pupils were different sizes. 

Some how, no concussion, go figure.

Then we did THIS!

Saved the best for last…

Disney World!

Can you find Nemo? :)

(i may see a Christmas card here…..)

These are my daughter's favorites! That little girl in the

bottom left, no idea who she is but if you look closely, you can

see a HUGE Princess kiss on her forehead. She was soooo cute.

And this isn't even all. I just got tired making collages. :)

It was an amazing trip. Disney's level of customer service

is stunning. Clean bathrooms, no trash on the ground

at their parks, friendly staff. Truly amazing. I think that there

are many companies who could learn alot.

Phew. We have been busy.  

Well, I am off to make some Soup!

They arrived!

My ingredients for Soup!

Look at all this wonderfulness!

Great packaging

Individually wrapped goodness. I love how she

used pages from a book or advert.

MMMMM!

Look, 2 focals!!!!! And a wonderful leaf toggle clasp.

 

Now, these are my fav! Blues swirled in cut crystal, I think.

Thank you Lisa.

I can't wait to get started playing!

I.Heart.Macro

Can you guess what this is?
