Branching out!

I'm trying my hand at making necklaces! One of my favorite accessories!!

Seems like everybody is crushin on yellow right now so I thought I would make something in the sunshine color.  Although, I've had a love affair with yellow for years now but we kinda parted ways for a while after I lived in a house that had every room painted the same light buttery yellow.  We're good now though and back together and I am loving everything yellow at the moment. 

                          

This was gonna be a gift but alas, I loved it
and now I gotta make another one. I'm gonna start making these in twos from now on:)

This is my  $2 dress!!   Not to mention my $2 necklace (i added the flower) and my $2 bracelet (i should have taken a close-up so you can see it in all its glory! Bling!)  My girls used to be so embarrassed when someone would compliment something I was wearing and after thanking them, I would then tell them how cheap I got it or that it came from a thrift store.  They would be like "MOMMA, can't you just say thank you?!!"  

Now, they are just as thrifty as I am and love a good thrift store beauty as much as I do.  Ahh....I've taught them well :)

(Thinking about creating a page with pics of my favorite thrift store outfits

...we'll see)

This post was a nice break in between dealing with auto insurance claims and making pickles.  Actually, Nick made the pickles. Can't wait to taste them!!!  ( He just passed by while I was posting this and saw my picture and said "Who is that lady? I haven't seen her around here lately".  Oops!!  I guess that means its time for me to take a shower, fix my hair and "put on my face"!!!  

Good thing we have church tonight!  lol)
