Memory is a bad bad thing!

I forgot to add a few things about the earring blog hop. First I want to thank Jessica for putting up with the whole lot of us, I know it was difficult doing this all alone.

Secondly. I forgot to add the links to the other blogs that participated in the hop as well.

Earring Blog Hop

I finally got up the nerve to join my first blog hop. It was for earrings, you are paired up with partners and make each other a unique pair of earrings based on what they say is their type.

My partner is Mischelle Fanucchi and this is what she has to say...

I like beachy type themes, sea glass, amethyst, turquoise.  I do love bright colors. boho type, I do like all types of metals and do not have any allergies to anything.


So with all this in mind, I made these earrings for her......


I used silver plated wire, some green sea glass, green agate beads, a copper toned sparkly bead and wrapped some seed beads around it all. I hope she liked them. 


In return I was a lucky duck and recieved three pairs and it was my choice as to which were the main pair for the hop.



I love them all and it was very hard to choose which ones were my favorite. I have been wearing them all, but I do believe that my favorite is the middle pair with garnets. I love garnets. I love how dark red ( like blood ) they are and they are my birthstone!

I had a good time with the blog hop and I made a great friend at the same time. Maybe one day I can do a different hop and really challenge myself. Lol not too soon though!

Thanks all for looking!
