Snowy Greetings

I made a few cards to go with jewelry gifts. I'm lovin' my new stampin' up tree set. Add a little silver embossing power and it looks like the snowy pine trees in my back yard. It's the perfect snowy Boston greeting for my British colleagues. During my last winter visit to the UK a dusting of snow caused grid lock traffic. I can't image what they'd think of our last 2 snow storms. :-)

Sexy Mom Sports New Jewelry

My sister-law-in, Emily, came through with the picture she promised; so, today's blog features a wire and crystal set. The necklace design includes Swarovski crystals and pink glass cubes separated by handmade silver links. The matching earrings feature the same wire link accented by a crystal on the bottom. I sent this set to Emily for her Birthday/Mother's day gift. Afterwards, my brother wrote me an email to tell me how beautiful she looked in her new jewlery - I agree!

Crystal and Gold Set

We flew to the Vineyard this weekend in hopes of offering our friends a flight. Unfortunely, the weather had other plans. So, we ended up just mooching a meal and a bed. As always I brought a few beads and tools and finished this set on Sunday. The links were made with a WigJig tool that allows me to bend wire around pegs. The beads are a deep purple Swarovski crystal that I think goes well with the gold. This is the 4th time I've made this style. The others were given to my sister-in-law, Emily (still waiting for that pic), my mom and another sister-in-law, Kari. Pictures welcomed ladies!

I'm planning to sell this one. What do you think it's worth?
