Book Review for Upcycled Jewelry



Hi Everyone,

 I am so excited to share this new book, Upcycled Jewelry by Linda Peterson with you. I have known Linda for a number of years and she is one of the most talented designer I have ever met!  So, when she asked me to be part of this hop, I couldn't say yes fast enough.

 Her new book, Upcycled Jewelry, showcases her talent with pure perfection.  Each page of the book has stunning photography and step by step instructions that are easy to read and follow allowing anyone that wants to recreate one of her projects to do so without feeling overwhelmed.  In other words, you don't need to be an expert in jewelry making.  

 One of the things that Linda asked the designers that are participating in this book review blog hop, was to pick one project out of the book that we liked the most.  That was not an easy task to complete.  There are tons of projects in this book that I absolutely love, but I  did narrow it down to two that I'm sharing today.  The Zip It earrings on page 45 are one of the coolest project I have seen.  They are fun & funky and I am definitely going to make a pair for myself and my daughter.  The other project that I love is the Retro Studded Cuff bracelet on page 78.  It is simply gorgeous and I couldn't believe that it was made from a rubber inner tube!

 Upcycled Jewelry is a book with 128 pages of beautiful jewelry pieces and handbags that I would recommend for everyone to purchase as soon as you can.  You won't be disappointed.  As I said earlier, it really is pure perfection!  

 Thank you Linda for sharing your fabulous talent with the world and making it a better place with beautiful creations.  You really are one of a kind!    
Thank you for joining me.  Until next time...

Crafty hugs,
Lisa

Easter Baskets for Sale!

Hi Everyone,
I am super excited to bring this post to you today! As crafters, most of us catch the crafting bug after being exposed  to it as children. For me, it was growing up watching my mom and grandma as they created beautiful hand sewn items and quilts. As a grown up myself, when my children were small I started off with sewing their Halloween costumes and then went on to do other crafts until I found my true love, rubber stamping.

 Now I'm happy to share that my daughter Richelle, who grew up watching me craft, is carrying on the tradition! She is creating these fabulous, colorful Easter baskets and I'm delighted to show them off to all of my wonderful friends and followers.
Wouldn't your little one look so cute in these tutus!!!


The Tutu Easter baskets come with a removable, wearable tutu and 2 hair bows for $20.00 or a non-removable tutu for $15.00 plus shipping and handling. Shipping in the US only. The baskets can be made in your choice of colors and also sports team colors!!!

To order these cute baskets send an email to Richelle's email address
