Maybe My Word Should Be "PURGE"

i have a problem

i love magazines

and the inspiration they give

 problem is

when i find the inspiration

i should immediately rip that page out

and put it in my inspiration folder

as you can see

i have NOT done that

i have my work cut out for me this next week

many hours will be spent going through these

a lot of people are coming up with one word for the year

i think my word should be PURGE

that way it would save me A LOT of hours 

going through these

yes, i think my word is PURGE

i did however organize

ALL of my stampington magazines

now all hidden in their new

cornflower blue holders i found at staples

who says organization has to be boring

and now i am off to 

PURGE!

Custom Jewelry

I just love vintage antique photos

they tell a story of a time way back when

so when I get the opportunity to create a piece using old photos

I can't wait to see the outcome of the jewelry piece

these two necklaces are some custom work

I just recently finished

here is a mother and daughter together

the complete necklace with a hand beaded chain

here is another piece using an antique photo of a bride and groom

I like to use beads that compliment the photo

in this case black, silver and grey were the colors that worked best

I love the way these two turned out

I hope the person that is going to receive these loves them too

if you have any personal photos that you would like put into a custom piece

email me or comment on this post and I will contact you back

have a great week!

2011

all the best to you in 2011!
