Plastic bracelets makeover


I went on a hunt for plastic bracelets at thrift stores so I could spice them up.

A few weeks ago I got a really GOOD deal on some retro dishes. At one time it used to be 2 complete sets but now it has some missing pieces but it was still a great deal.

More Necklace Fun


It seems like jewelry has been my craft of choice lately. I bought these longer size pendants at Big Lots and I wasn't really sure if I would be able to do much with them. As it turns out, I like the way they look. :)
