Last Christmas I received these earrings as a gift. I fell in love with them immediately, but saw one flaw in them for my wardrobe. I don't wear that much red. I wear a lot of pink. I do find many times to wear these, but I knew I had to make another pair of them.

So, I had my hubby teach me how to solder. I bent the earrings to shape and made the square piece. I then soldered the square wire together all on my own. I was so proud! Next, I made the pieces to hang from the earrings and made them all in clear so they were more versatile! Sweet!

I realized there was still one more flaw...Where was the pink!? So I made this little piece on a removable clasp so I could add or remove it as I wanted. And Voilà!

Now I believe that the earrings really suit my needs. I have yet to make more pieces to add to them, but I know it would only take a second to make if I wanted another color. These get worn ALL the time and have become my new favorite pair. (I also get many compliments on them.)

I am now hoping to dapple a bit more in soldering wire to see what other crazy creations I can come up with! I do highly recommend copying something to make it suit your own needs. I have learned how to make many things by doing this. And you can never go wrong trying something new. The worst that happens is you don't like it and you try again! Enjoy!

This is a pair of earrings I made. I was lacking white earrings in my collection. I didn't have any white beads on hand that I was happy with, so I took apart some old earrings I didn't care for and made these. I just added them to pieces of chain to make them into a cluster.

Every time I wear these I get asked what they are. I call them birds because they appear to have small eyes. But I have been told they look like boomerangs and even teeth! You can make your own decision on what you think they are!

These earrings have been worn a bunch and I don't know how my collection of earrings didn't include these before now! They have become a definite staple! Enjoy!

This is the final set of cards I made at Katie's last Stamp-A-Stack. I just LOVE this card! I think they turned out great. She said she got this one from the Stampin' Up! catalog. So if you have one, you can compare them! :) The colors are so cheerful and I think anyone would be happy to get one of these. I know I would! Enjoy!

And I have not taken the time to update this site recently. But I have some great news...We are moving! You can see a little about it on my other website if you would like.

The good news for my faithful readers is that I will have a craft room back! So in time, I'll finally be able to make some new cards and goodies to post! YES!

So hang in there...I'll be back before you know it!

This is yet another set of cards I made at Katie's last Stamp-A-Stack. They are wonderful colors. The pink and the brown look so great together. I used a few different papers to make them look different and I think they are adorable! Enjoy!

This is another set of cards I made at Katie's last Stamp-A-Stack. They are very patriotic. I think they are adorable even with the simple layout. I did change them a little so they aren't all sitting the same direction. You can see that in the picture. I also used different paper and ribbon on them. The only thing I wish I would have added was some glitter. :) Enjoy!

This is the first set of cards I have to show you from the most recent Stamp-A-Stack at Katie's. These are some butterfly cards we made. This is a picture of all of them. I will show you each of them individually next. They all have different papers and sentiments on them.

We made a bunch of really cute cards this time. I wanted to share this one because it's finally Spring and we had snow this morning. I needed something to make me think green grass and flowers! The snow didn't last long and the sun was so nice this afternoon. But I still can't wait for butterflies! Enjoy!

These are some new earrings I made. I was missing a couple elements in my earring collection. So I have remedied that. I made a pair of black earrings. They aren't too long and are really cute. I love the way they turned out. I wear so much black that I can't believe I didn't make these sooner. :) Also, the large part at the bottom came with three of those circles. So I have a third I have ready to add to a necklace chain for a whole set! Enjoy!

First...I am not pregnant and neither is anyone I know. :) Second, this is a card I got in the mail from Katie. She made it while I was at her house making Christmas cards and I was so jealous she was making cards. I loved the colors and you will notice that the paper is from the same set as THIS card that I posted the other day. The funny thing, is she sent it to me just because I liked the card. I laughed when I got it in the mail because I knew Katie sent it to me just to make me smile. That's what friends are for! Thanks, Katie! :)

These are some earrings that I made that are similar to THIS pair that I showed you recently. I made them the same way, but the look is very different. I thought these were funky a bit different. Also...these are the same size and shape even though they don't look like it in the picture. Enjoy!
