Hi there! I just wanted to add a quick note of encouragement to everyone to use their collective positivity to THINK SUNSHINE!! I think we are all ready to move on to warmer, sunnier days! I also wanted to share this photo of a bracelet I made this weekend that is just too sparkly for words! Enjoy!

Hello! Below are the photos of the bling ring key chain I received as a gift recently. I am in search of the ring settings that you can "snap" the stones in. Of course, I am working on matching bracelet and earrings too! Just thought this was TOO CUTE not to share! Have a great weekend!

Hi there! I am hoping there might be someone out there who has used the snap tite ring setting and faceted stones to make rings. I received the cutest "bling ring" key chain as a gift from someone who had traveled to the Caribbean recently but the more I look at it, the more I think I need a real ring to match. Not to mention a bracelet and some earrings!!

I will bring it home from work with me tomorrow so I can add a photo here, it is adorable (and sea blue, of course)! I was hoping to get some feedback from someone who might have experience with setting ring stones in the traditional manner or possibly using the "snap tite" products. 
 
Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!! 

Hello! I had a chance to catch an actual crafting show on Friday which is a rare occurence. Carol Duvall's guest was melting embossing powder in little pots which turned into what appeared to be gemstones or geodes. After the liquid was poured onto a flat surface and was cool, but still pliable, she used scissors to cut it into random shapes to cover a photo frame. I need to get over to HGTV.com to watch it over again. If you have any experience with this or other ideas, please let me know. It was very intriguing.

Just wanted to share something that was new to me! (I don't get out much)! Thanks for listening or reading! Have a great week!

Hello! It's been a crafty day in my world today, involving beads of course. I sure hope anyone reading this isn't getting tired of seeing blue crystals. I promise this is the last one for at least a few days. I just don't think I'll ever tire of the little crystal bauble. It really brings a little extra happiness to my heart!

I really do have more than blue crystals in my bead collection. If you have a minute, I hope you'll stop over at www.abeadaday.blogspot.com where a new bead is featured every day. Take care!!
