  Earrings~ I made, Leather cuff Bracelet ~I made HERE.  Heart and Key Bracelet~ Mr. WobiSobi gave me yesterday.
( Wasn't that so sweet.)

I was  just about finished taking my post, pictures  when Mr. WobiSobi came home from work.  He walked right up to me, unsurprised  that  the camera timer was beeping away,  and he handed me a Black Box. "Here", he said, " I bought you something. "  With a shocked, smile on my face, I opened it, and a beautiful Heart and Key bracelet was staring at me. 

WOW !!How sweet is that.?  Thank you K for thinking of me.:

 And Thank you, Selena Gomez, for your catchy song.( one of my latest guilty pleasures.)

Lots of <3,

Personalize it.

 Make One!

I found this great wire at Wal- mart for only  a $1.00, and with it made myself a little monogrammed necklace. I just looked up some cursive letters on line and with my pliers , I bent them into place. Then I hooked the two letters together.  After that I

 added a jump ring and a chain. 

 I use different cursive fonts that I looked up on line, to figure out what would work.

Samples, pictured  below.

 A fun necklace ~ made by you..

Have a Super Night!!

Feathers and Free Time.

  Express Jeans, Gap~ sweater, Sheer Top~ Macy's, scarf~Target ,Shoes ~Target,

Earrings~ I made

I have always been a big fan of feathers, in any way, shape, or form.  I had a little free time today so I made these feather earrings.  I love days when I can just craft and not worry about time. I will put up a tutorial  on how I did them soon.  They were super easy and just a few dollars to make. Other than making those earrings, I had a pretty easy day, running errands and cooking dinner.  Now, after I finnish this post I have just enough time to play  a little. BF3.:)

Have a Great Night.

Lots of <3,

Project Re-Style # 44 Re-Style your earrings

Do  you have that one pair of hoop earrings  that are past their prime, or are starting to turn a weird,  color?   I did, so I decided to change them into something else.

Welcome everyone,

to Re-Style week number #44.

 The other day, I saw some earrings just like this at Charlotte Russe.

Making these took me about 15 minutes and if you have chain already~ Free is  the name of the game, if you don't, it will cost you about $3.21 for the chain.

Tutorial
Things you need

 Use your pliers and make two lengths of chain ~ My chain was 5 inches for each earring.

 weave the chain onto you earring.

 and now do the other one.

Then, guess what?  you are all done!

See, a 15 minute Re-Style.

Yay!!
I love easy and 

of course recycling

something old into

something new.

;)

44 down 8 to go

Have a wonderful

Monday.

Boots and Bows

 Yep!! my feet are still there.

Sheer shirt~ Forever,  Jacket~ Target, Sequined tank~ Marshall's

Boots, Durango, Sunnies~ Cole Haan

 I made this bow because I coveted one that  I saw in my November, InStyle Magazine, this month. (instructions on how I did that HERE)  I am also bringing out my favorite jeans, that have appeared to come back into style. These Flared leg, Express jeans are super comfortable and were acquired about 5 years ago when I worked for Express.  I know all of you girls have heard the saying ," If you keep it long enough, it will come back in style,"Well I guess my favorite comfy jeans can come out of the dark side of my closet now..I  know, I know that is not true for all of our clothing items, but jeans just always seem to sneak back around. 

And on another note: I am not real sure WHY I am so fascinated with these boots. ( also ancient).  I am just really loving everything about them A.T.M. 

Wow!!My taste in clothes really does a 360 sometimes.

Have a great Sunday,

see you tomorrow for 

Re-Style Monday.

Lots of <3,
