Happy first Wednesday of the New Year to you! I hope you had a fabulous holiday season. It goes by so quickly, doesn’t it? I finally took all of my decorations down yesterday. Half of me is sad and half of me is energized and all of me is very much looking forward to a new year.
And since it’s Wednesday, I thought I would link up to Julia’s blog today and give you a peek at what’s on my workdesk. I’ve missed the fun for the last few weeks.
Today, I’m working on something a little different. Because I am on a very tight budget right now, jewelry is just not on the list of needs. Feeling deprived, I wandered down the isles of Joann’s and Michael’s when beads were on sale recently. I picked up a few sets and thought I would just make my own! This may become a new obsession…

Thanks for stopping by today! Paper crafting will return later this week.

how fun is this???
Looks fun!
Makes me just want to dig in that bowl and put something together
My favorite pieces of jewelry right now are glass necklaces a friend of mine makes!
I was looking at the jewelry stuff at Michaels yesterday, hoping to find something I could make with my OLW. I ended up feeling overwhelmed by it all but they had so many pretty things! Cant wait to see what you make.
How fun!
Good to know since someone has a birthday coming up!!
Give me some color hints!

these look lovely, lovely choices of bead. you make it look easy, i think! Well, be warned, you could end up with more beads than you can use..they are very easy to pick up and ‘need’! It’s something I haven’t tried because I’m frightened by the height of another slippery slope!!
I love beads but never get around to anything more than things for my grand-daughter! Thanks for your visit, Chris#70
Ooo, look at all of those pretty beads! I haven’t made any jewelry in ages. Maybe I should…:)
Sounds like fun & a great way to incorporate some new accessories on a tight budget!
Who doesn’t love jewelry? And if you can make you’re own – that’s even better!
