A few bracelets...

Here are a few new pieces that I've created.

This one is for my SIL who is a dental assistant.

This & That....

Hello everyone! Sorry once again that I've been lax about posting. I have certainly been busy. More often than not, I've been baking or taking care of little Brett (who is now 3 months old!).

This is perhaps one of my favorite pieces of jewelry that I've made yet. It is in blue/gold colors of my alma mater, Murray State University. I made it for a friend who is currently seeking a nursing degree at MSU.

Here are some more skinny note pads that I made for a customer. She requested TN Vols theme with the names of her friends. If you've never seen these before, check out Kerry's Paper Crafts for a tutorial.  

Craft Fair Photos, a Freezer Tee, Magnetic Boards & Freebies!

Well, here it is over a week after my first craft fair and I'm just now posting about it. It was not as successful as I had hoped. It was a lot of fun and a great learning experience, but unfortunately, it was not well advertised. There was no sign by the road and no ad in the paper. I think the person hosting relied soley on facebook to advertise. I did sell $28.00 worth. Not quite worth all the effort, but at least I have 2 more fairs to go to. The magnetic boards have sold well in my craft booth at the local trader's mall. I am selling them $10each or 2/$15.00.

These are soem Geneva "Sandra Bullock" watches that my DSIL is selling. She has them in several different colors and designs. They are $10.00 each. If you'd like to purchase one, or more, please email me at tamara_bennett7@hotmail.com Shipping is $3.00.

Here is a bracelet that I made for a local sorority girl. Their mascot is the panda. So I found these cute little panda beads on ebay. I made the red beads myself.

Here is a bracelet that I made for my DSIL. She is a dental assistant, so I got the cute little teeth beads on ebay.

And here is a t-shirt that I made for a friend's little boy. Her husband has a shirt just like it that she got him at Old Navy, but they did not make it in the baby's size, so she asked if I could make one like it. Of course! haha. I just used my cricut and SCAL and replicated the design. I cut it out in freezer paper and then used the freezer paper as a stencil to paint. If you've never tried this before, you can see a tutorial here. You can download the Gobble Gobble SVG here.

Finally, here are a couple of the magnetic boards I was talking about. I made these using decorative cookie trays that I got from the Dollar Tree. I made the bottlecap embellishments myself and cut the UK using my SCAL and cricut. You can download it here.

Here is one representing our local school colors.

Here is another jewelry set I made the other day. I hope you like it!

Handmade Bracelets I've made

Good afternoon! I just thought I'd pop in to show you these bracelets that I've been making. It really isn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I got a pair of crimper pliers at HL yesterday and some bead wire (although I think I should have gotten a different kind). I got online and googled a few tutorials and set about making some. I love how these turned out! I even gave them names. haha.

"Vista del Mar" (View from the Sea)

"Walk in the Forest"
