I did it!!

Some of you know that I have been wanting to learn how to make beaded jewelry for a long time, so I finally got my butt down to the store and bought all the tools that I would need (I had bought beads previously at the gem and jewelry show) and sat down in front of my computer and watched YouTube videos on "how to". Here is a picture of the first few bracelets that I made. I think they came out great. Gotta love YouTube.

My daughter takes after me or visa versa haha!!

So my daughter has this awesome bug project due on Monday of this coming week and she has put together this wonderful box to put them in. She has to display them all in the order of their species. She hasn't started pinning them in the box yet but I wanted to show you pictures of her box before the bugs go in. She is so amazing!!
She put this together on her own. Notice the lace on the inside.

More Completely From a Magazine ATCs

Wow, these were so much fun to do. I used a glaze over the top in order to give these some shine. I really like how they turned out. Soo much fun, ripping up the magazine and scanning through them to find the perfect picture for these. I enjoyed this swap a lot.

Completely from a magazine

I joined a swap where I had to make 4 ATCs completely from a magazine, these are the two that I have done so far. This was really more fun than I thought, I love looking through magazines for neat things to add to an ATC, two of them are drying so there are More to come....
