Good things come to those who wait...
Well, hopefully today the postman will deliver one final package, and then I can start shipping out the fabulous charms that I have received. Here is a peek at my packages...
Once the guests have received their packages, I will share photos of the completed bracelet. All I can say it WOW! I love everything I have opened, and I hope my guests will feel the same.
I have been busy both personally and creatively. I finally finished up some special toys for my boys. That is the one bummer about no girls in the family. Boys don't really seem to appreciate the little things that I make. I mean seriously when is the last time anyone created a Transformer out of paper and fabric? Oh well, my baby seems to appreciate his monkey. I think they turned out cute.
I have started making these fun little charms. I will be offering these for sale on etsy. They are a custom order piece. Simply send me a high quality jpeg photo and I will do the rest. Charms are created using sterling silver, crystals, and fresh water pearls. They are really fun. I do apologize about the glare.
Well, I have got to get back to work! So much more I want to get done! Happy creating everyone!
Those monkeys are GREAT! I have played around with making various softies, but I still haven't come up with one that I am just in love with. I love the colors you used.
And your custom charm is beautiful.
Looking forward to seeing all of the charms from the swap:)

OMG!!!!! The charms are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I just got mine today and let me tell you I had no idea what caliber of crafts people I was joining when I entered this swap. My apologies ladies - as I soon realized that I am no where near as talented as you ladies...everyones charms were so tiny and dainty my charm was huge and awkward...but yet the crafty person that I am have decided to make a key fob out of mine and some others that are bit larger (yet extremely gorgeous) then most - so I got a 2-fer and you can too.
Thanks Amanda for hosting this - it was a real treat...the final piece is amazing...Please post this somewhere where everyone can read it...didn't know if we had a flikr site or not...hugs to you all...
