My winterbreak!


Glad that we have a winter break where we get to enjoy our family. Heading home to see the rest of  my family and meet my  2 week old nephew. I hope to have enough time to continue blogging all the way from the island! Have a great weekend.

Winter enchantment with Artbeads.

A couple of weeks ago  Artbeads asked their blog partners to create a ‘Winter Enchantment’ design that represents what you find beautiful or inspirational about the winter season. I have to confess that winter is one of my least favorite season, let me explain why. I am originally and island girl, born on the island of Bonaire I was always used to 80 degrees all year a round. Anything below 70 is cold to me.
One thing though, it might sound weird but I do look forward to snow.
I was inspired by the snow. Everytime we do get snow here in Georgia I am amazed at the color of the sky after it snowed, it's all lighten up and you see the snow on all the branches, the houses with the white rooftops, it is such a gorgeous view.
I decided to make earrings this time. For my design I  choose a mix of different sizes and colors of Swarovski crystals, Black Diamond, Crystal Silver Shades and Swarovski Pearl in Platinum. The focus of the earrings are the Swarovski Briolette Pendant in  Crystal Shade  hanging from a Sterling silver simple design bail  wirewrapped the crystals and they hang from a a Sterling Silver chain.
For all kinds of pendants and beautiful charms don't forget to check Artbeads you are in for quite a treat.




Thank you Duchess and Artbeads for this great opportunity for letting me
go back to that beautiful scene of snow.

Specs-tacular

These are my newest glasses. I don't think I have ever said anything about glasses here on my blog. I do wear glasses, actually only at night. During the daytime I wear contacts, my eyes are really bad without contacts I can't see. I started wearing glasses when I was 6 I believe, was teased a lot because of them. I remember eating lots of carrots growing up but all that carrot eating was in vain I have to say.
I bought these at Claire's I normally wear them to protect my eyes when working with wire, especially when cutting them.
