I created these necklaces for my girlfriend, Sharlette for her and her bridesmaid’s.   We have been friends since college, I was also one of her attendants at her wedding on August 8th in Oregon.

I made necklaces and earring set in her wedding colors and used dyed fresh water pearls and crystals.

My work in progress.  I love my beading mats.  They keep everything from rolling off my beading table.  🙂

I also made her this cute funky crown to wear the night before while hanging out with her bridal party.   We had a really fun time reminiscing and getting re-acquainted,  I hadn’t seen some of my old college buddies since my wedding almost 30 years ago.  It was so great to see everyone and a wonderful, special day!

Here I am with my two girlfriends from college.   We traveled to Oregon from Los Angeles, Phoenix Arizona and Sydney, Australia.

And with the bride before the wedding while she is getting ready.

I have been traveling a lot this month and haven’t had time to post or read everyone’s blog posts.  I have only been able to view my reader on my phone a few times.  I have one more family wedding and my daughter is home for a short visit before she heads back to college, so I will get all caught up with everyone’s blog posts in September.  I hope you are all having a wonderful August!

Have a wonderful, creative day, Janell
