Now to this girl who loves to recycle, this looked like a piece of gold and knew I would have some use for it. And I finally did.

I am not completely finished with my Spring Cleaning, but I did have a little time to create some lovely bracelets. Blues and Greens With a little bit of glass. Pinks and purples and a litte bit of bling. Super fun to make and used up many beads. Now on to my next project.. Earth Day! Enjoy!

Spring Cleaning Part 1

Don't be deceived by the title of this post, it's not about cleaning or organizing your home for spring. I thought I have been busy doing that too, I also have been cleaning out my closets and bead stash.  I thought I would share the grouping of beads that I am using for my next projects called Spring Cleaning. Some Blue and Green beads (my favorites) that I have far to many of. Some Pink,White and Purple..some from a necklace that took apart a year ago. Stay tuned to see what I create with my Spring Cleaning finds! Enjoy!
