Along the Way

Janet over at Along the Way hosted a couple of bracelet contests about a month ago.  The first contest was for a kids size bracelet and the other one was for an adult size bracelet.  My luck must have turned because I won not only one of the kids bracelets but one of the adult ones too!!! 

Then to top it off when they came in the mail I was pleasantly surprised to find that she had included matching earrings with the adult bracelet!!! 

Thank you Janet for hosting the contest.  The bracelets and earrings are beautiful!!!

New Purpose for Washers and Scrapbook Paper

I got this idea from here: Soooo Cool Washer Necklaces

After searching everywhere to find the "Diamond Glaze" and not finding it but finding "Triple Thick Glaze" I gave it a try. I then invited some friends over and we made some more together. I decided to make a matching bracelet and the girls had a great idea of making some into earrings too. I will warn you though the smaller the washers you use the harder it is to hold them as you are trimming the edges. The girls also gave me a great idea to cover the front and the back, so if it flips over you don't just have a silver ring. After wearing my bracelet for a little while I will be taking it apart and doing the other side as the washers like to flip over a lot.
