The Day Before the BIG DAY!!

Busy! Busy! Busy!

What a day its been trying to tie up loose ends and finish up projects before our BIG TRIP to Colorado!

Biggest projects of the day included scrubbing down and cleaning up the Uplander!

Big Helper!!

The other big project of the day was completing the last of the Cha-Cha bracelets for the nieces!


The above and below remind me of wild flowers in a green meadow!

This one I call the Strawberry Patch! Isn't it yummy?

Neopolatin Ice Cream!!!

This is has a retro feel to it!

Peas and Carrots!!

Apple Harvest!

Primary colors!

Only thing left now is to put the clasps on the braclets, load up the car and celebrate Her Royal Higness' third birthday (three days early :D )

Souvenir and Farewell!

Flat Stanley-etta is on her way back home to Ashlin! Don't worry, Ashlin, I marked on the envelope so that the post master will be extra careful so our friend and traveler will arrive safely back to you!

Flat Stanley-etta didn't leave here empty handed, though! I've been busy working on some gifts and Flat Stanley-etta saw this bracelet that I had just finished and just knew it would be a perfect souvenir to bring back for Ashlin!! So this fun Cha-Cha bracelet is also making its way to Utah!

We send it to you with tons of hugs and kisses! Thanks for sending your Flat Stanley-etta to us! We really enjoyed her!

For Jenn - and anyone else who likes to make jewelry...

My sisters-in-law, Jenn and Teresa, have taught me all I know about making hairbows and little teeny bracelets. I'm so lucky to have such great SILS. My sister-in-law Shannon and I are both soaking up all we can since we both have had three incredible boys each, and pink is a foreign color in our homes. When I got to spend a few days with my sister, Tara, we had fun sharing our bracelet and bows things too - that was so fun! I'm anxious to see what all of my sisters have been up to - so I'm posting my latest little teeny bracelet.

Jenn and I have been playing a little with hand stamped jewelry and trying to figure it all out. These posts are especially for her! The charm bracelet is stamped with a 1/16 th lettering and the discs are only 1/2 inch. The other - 1/8 inch. The last one is my attempt at wire wrapping (I think that is what it is called). I hope you can see them well enough when you click on them.
