A Note for You
Hi Everyone,
I am so happy to be part of this blog hop! My very dear friend and business partner, Ann Butler, is celebrating her birthday! Ann is not only an extremely talented designer, she also has multiple product lines with Unity Stamp Company, Clearsnap and Earth Safe Finishes.
Larissa Pittman, who runs Ann's design team, wanted to surprise her with this birthday hop so, she contacted the rest of the design team and a few of Ann's friends to join in on today's blog hop. The projects that you'll see were created using products from Ann's various product lines.
So, grab your favorite drink, put your feet up, and enjoy the fabulous projects that this talented group of ladies created in celebration of our friend's birthday!!!
Happy Birthday Ann!
Much Love,
Lis

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
