Vacation Bible School

We had VBS this last week. We also kept our grandsons, ages 4 months and 3 years. What a week! Jeni had surgery on Monday and was unable to handle the boys for several days. So, Mawmaw and Pop took them in. Wednesday Aunt Rachael took them home and stayed to help there.
VBS theme was Passport to the Promised Land. It went like a well-oiled machine! It was our first VBS at this church. It was awesome. Everyone did their part. There were extra folks to fill-in where needed. One small boy gave his life to Christ. AWESOME!
Now we have today off and doing only what we want.
We also celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary last Thursday during VBS.
I made a new bracelet. Sodalite and Swarovski crystals. Nice looking. Great to wear with jeans. Of course that is what I made it for...jeans.
Have a show coming up in July so I need to get busy and make more jewelry.
Picked up some more Swarovski crystals today. 2 mm rounds in crystal-AB. 1 gross is less than a teaspoon!

This is such a pretty necklace. The peridot and purple Swarovski crystals accent the colors of the lampwork beads. The pearls give it a delicate touch. I love working with pearls. The lobster claw clasp is Sterling silver.

Turquoise creations

This is the new bracelet I made with the turquoise nuggets I bought from Magpie Gemstones. I love the blues and greens mixed together. It is so easy to wear. I added a magnetic clasp so I could wear it a little snugger than my other bracelets. This is a close up shot of the matching necklace. I used a magnetic clasp on it as well, just not the fold over kind. I put a few Swarovski crystals in the mix for a little sparkle.
