The Necklaces I've been crafting

O.K. Here's the deal--Idea stolen from cool SBI Surf Shop, where we saw the guitar pick necklaces for sale--I copied both styles (hanging on the diagonal with multiple rhinestones up the side & hanging straight down with just 1 rhinestone as an accent) can use the side showing the pick's logo, or not.........used my tiny hole punch from scrapbook supplies & a little metal/jewelry glue for rhinestone application.....and broke a fingernail opening the split ring to hang it from a cheap necklace purchased for a few cents over $1 at WalMart....

Also, included a photo of a few more of my on-going "bottle cap necklace" obsession-found a few good sources on the web for caps....got an order placed & more on the way to me....it'll keep me from buying beer & soda just to obtain caps.....maybe?!

Camp Rock Premiere

Audra had Claire & Ashley over

to watch the Disney Channel's premiere

of the big summer movie

"Camp Rock"

starring the Jonas Brothers."WE ROCK!!!"

I had fun making Rhinestone studded Guitar pick necklaces,
Guitar embellished Tees,
and Camp Rock Music soundtracks for the girls
to take home as "favors"-
-Even though this wasn't a "Party"
-and-Yes,
Their mommies (supposedly my friends)
gave me a hard time about overdoing it...

"Decade Spa" Party for Audra's 10th Birthday

I will admit to be crazy about planning parties

-especially for little girls!!!

And, many months of shopping go into these events-

That's a confession as well.....

Spa "10", Spa "X", or Spa "Ten".....

Whatever the name is....

We pampered & primped,

Drank faux champagne & mock watermelon margaritas,

and Dipped & Dunked into white & milk chocolate fondue....

Audra says it was the best party ever!!!
