Yes, I am still here

Wow, I have been remiss.

I mean really bad about blogging,

please forgive me! :)

So much going on.

Jeannie has been so gracious to include me in her

Echo Creative Club

and sent me these luscious goodies.

They scream SUMMER and mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Hmmm, idea maybe????

I can't wait to play.

I am also participating in Sally Rusick's

(of Studio Sublime fame)

One Crayon Color Challenge.

My color is purple!!!!!

I would share a sneak peak but don't know quite where to

go to blur/pixilate/mess up a photo now that

Picnik is gone………

(open to any suggestions)

Please come back on Saturday to see what everyone has created!!!

And lastly,

I was at the mall with my daughter this weekend for a

wonderful girl's weekend and found this!

Do you know what this is???

LIP GLOSS IN TANGERINE TANGO!!!!!

I love lip gloss, in tangerine.

Yes I bought it. You can too at Sephora.

Brilliant!!!!

Echo Creative Club

Another month gone by ~ 

so fast.

Just like I did last month, I asked Jeannie to surprise me

with her choice of beads. 

(best part of the deal, makes me work

outside of the box.)

She sent me some of her peeled paint beads in 

white. 

Stunning.  

I am not going to lie, I was at a loss for what to create. 

I wanted to make a bracelet, but no matter

how hard I tried, nothing seemed to work.

I was continually drawn to some of the vintage crosses that

my sister in law gave me to create with, the simple gold one

in particular.

As you know, I love, love wire wrapping

and thus this was born.

Her beads lent themselves to this piece

so gracefully.

I know that it sparkles, and for some, that might

be too much.

It hangs so wonderfully!

Thank you so much Jeannie, for this opportunity to 

play in the big leagues. 

Please swing by her blog and see her wonderfulness. And

when you are done, please visit all wonderful blogs

below to see what everyone else has created.
