Weekly Links, and a New Necklace

P1010917
I'm always trying to think of new ways to use different focal beads. Here are two of Heather's multi-holed focal cuff Humblebeads. I stacked them and luckily enough the design in the beads matched up perfectly creating a "moon" in the center! How fun is that?
Hoping everyone had a great Halloween. My sister and her boyfriend came up for the night and we all sat on the porch handing out candy. We saw some really great costumes. Had powdered sugar donuts, and warm mulled cider! Delicious! They are headed back home today. It was nice getting together with them. I probably won't see my sister again til Christmas. She's working hard at college- a communications major at SUNY Oswego. well, anyhoo,

  6. Brilliant design idea! I used one of her purple ones like that with my Only Bird In Town neclace. I think it is so clever that they actually matched up! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the day!

I'm sorry to have to turn on the word verification here, but I got fed up with spammers comments!
