Kaylee had a blast creating her quiet space, She is one of those children who needs a little quiet time to herself and was blessed however, with an older and younger sister.  Being the middle child, she was in need of some Mommy alone time...

Stacking her Prima flowes how she needs them

Im attaching the ribbon around the Bunk bed bars, and Prima flowers to the ribbon with eyelets

Surely we needed her help

Cut the chandelier from silver vinyl, Cricut deco cartridge, Used our pompoms from Alainah and Autumn's bday party, attached to bar with wire

Made hooks from wire to hang the rhinestones and jewels from the top bunk bars

Pink and green pillows from Dollar Tree last year, No sew Glue and Felt ribbon and trimmings, I didnt put too many ribbons so she wont be scared at night and can see better LOL

Not much room to take the pictures, I was actually standing on her dresser to get far enough to take this pic LOL!  She had so much fun, and ooh and aughed the entire time!  She had no idea just a couple jewels, wire ribbon, eyelets, and flowers could do that!

Charm Swap Link Party

Charm Swap Link Party

Join us at Krista's Paper Cafe

I was ready for a swap and wanted to get "off-the-page" to experience other crafts, with others who wanted to do the same...

Zelia suggested we do a charm swap, she has been wanting to do that for a while, I thought it was a great idea, so I opened a Facebook group and sent out a status invite, 8 ladies responded, and decided to stay together and experiment with new crafts and learn together!  I have learned a lot about not only new experiences in crafting, but their lives and a good bit about communication : )  All things I needed to learn!  We have turned into a melting pot of sisterhood.  The group has turned out to be pretty amazing! 

Thank You Ladies!!!

In hind sight, I probably should have photographed them hanging, so you can really see them better than sprawled out everywhere laying flat....live and learn I guess.

MY CHARM #1

I bought A huge, chunky, glass, bracelet about 5 years ago just to reuse the glass beads. I finally have a chance to use them!  I used a chain to run from the pendant to the clasp and just inserted my jump rings for the beads there.  Simple enough.

MY CHARM #2

I  have been wanting to create something with these sweet jars for a long time, so I decided this was the perfect opportunity I used the same technique with the beads as the last charm,  however I inserted a screw thingy ( I dont know the name of those) I guess the eye from the hardware store you would put a hook like lock on a screen door.  I know I could also use those other (excuse the term again) thingy that comes in a picture hanging kit. ; )   But I didnt exactly have one on hand at the time, so I figured Id just alcohol ink it blend it better, which I forgot to do.  Anyway, screwed it into the cork of the bottle. The bottle is filled with Martha Stewart fine glitter and tiny glass beads and roses, you have to shake it a little to find everything.  The glass heart is simply glued on with silicone glue. I love the whimsy of it, and how its sort of interactive!

A jewelry creator I am not, however I still had a great time, Playing with these and getting off the page!
