Happy Hanukah, Diane. Those are beautiful.

WOW those are absolutely beautiful Diane.
Beautiful gifts from one friend to another---

Lynne you do such beautiful work---and I think you chose just the right things to send Diane's way....I can just see Diane's smile when she opened her gifts.--and we all know smiling is a good thing for the soul.

Diane it is a good thing you did not wait to open the package----this way you have a beautiful new set of jewelry to wear to your work Christmas party. You will look & feel so pretty......

Wow, they are sooooooo good! Just beautiful, and what a nice package to open up!

You should make them and sell them at local shops or festivals.

They are excellent work of arts .
Diane you have been bless ............
For you been very artistic to all of us on here.

Thanks for showing us your prizes.
Have a nice office party.

You pal
dodge :ding:

I agree with you Loz--more of us need to encourage her---

between her knitting and her jewelry amking--she could do quite well----Lynne does such quality work. :wink:

Thanks Tina,, They are soo beautiful,, the camera doesn't do them justice at all .

Carol,, a smile from ear to ear it was too,,, to recieve a gift made from a friends hands and the time spent , is pretty special,,
I have a black turtle neck swearter I was thinking of wearing,, either could go with,, and a dark brown sweater or a Pale Blue Blouse ,, can decide now which set to wear!,,

Loz That's what I've told her ,,,,,,, to sell her talents,, I believe she'd sell them faster than she could make them,,,,, Lynne really has an eye for putting them together!,, same for her knitting she makes the coolest gift sets ,

you 'll let me know what you decided to wear right??/---

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww you guys!

I am just dabbling in this jewelry making - I still have so much to learn.

I was with Liz on Monday for 3 hours while she sold her beaded goods at the local community college. She was there from 10 til 5 however. She did so well that first day of the sale - had 3 tables set up with showcases, and made out very very well. She was also making "while you wait" "you design" bracelets or earrings for $10. Because she works at Michael's, she gets her employee discount on top of using coupons, so most of what she sold at the college was profit. Her husband even got into helping her make necklaces, and when I saw her at the store on Tuesday, she had a list of things that he wanted her to bring home for him to make more for selling on Thursday at the college!

That would not be the case for me, though I wouldn't mind trying to sell sometime. I need to find a small venue where I could start out small - I could not make over 200 pieces in one weekend like Liz did to prepare for her sale this week!!! Too bad there is already a young woman in Don's office who sells beaded jewelry near holiday times. She is very good, and I would never compete with her anyway - it wouldn't be nice or right.

People have mentioned Etsy to me - Liz especially - but I do not want to have to bother with postage, and collecting payments over the internet. So I will keep my ears and eyes open for any local opportunities and see what happens.

In the meantime, it gives me great satisfaction to be able to make gifts for my friends and family.
Diane... I am thrilled that you like your gifts! Wear them well!

Everyone else - all your kind comments are icing on the cake! Thanks so much!

You should just make some items and put them aside and save them all up for a festival of some sort....maybe some knitted items too. I think it would be wonderful. Does your town have any sort of small festivals in the spring/summer/fall? I bet they do! Anywhere that you can rent a table space would be wonderful. That first necklace I would've absolutely bought from a craft table.

Gosh,such a talent and a wonderful surprise for you Dianne. You'll be the prettiest person at your party.

Thanks Sheri,, I've decided to take the jewelry sets with me to work so On my lunch break I'll go shopping to see if I can find a new Blouse that will go with one of the sets,,,, ( thanks Lynne I needed an excuse to shop ) The black sweater will be great with either,, But I want to find something black that's lighter in weight ,, it will be 70 Friday,, wellllllll suppose to be anyway,, there are a lot of boutiques close to my job in a shopping strip, so hopefully I'll have enough time to find something before tomorrow,,

Diane

That is nice to see you go shopping......I am so glad you will shine that day.
You are a pretty dresser .........I seen cedar hill photos......
Look out Dwight ..........

Those are beautiful!! I agree that you should your crafty items, Lynne! You do fabulous work!!

just had to look at these again. The clasp on the light blue one is so pretty.

another awesome job by lynne

I went to Ross's On my Lunch break and found a three quarter length sleeve black Liz Claiborne light weight sweater for 8 $, Wore it with a pair of dress slacks and the ceramic necklace set,, I got a lot of compliments on the necklace they were surprised they were hand made from a friend, and asked if My friend is taking orders! Thanks Lynne again! They looked really nice with the sweater!

I'm so glad you found just the right sweater, and that price was terrific!
I miss Ross stores - we had one when I lived in Reno and I got lots of stuff there - for Brian when he was a baby too!

I'm glad your co-workers liked the ceramic set - I like the fact that they are different from most beaded sets, and thought you would too.

Yepppppp Ross's is so convenient it takes about 5 minutes to get there from work,,,,,,, I saw a lot of things I need to go back in there for,,

Diane

Glad you got to Ross. I go there and have found stuff no one else carrys.
Just the sizes are weird....

Glad you made them jealous with your finery .......Necklaces.

Wonderful way to have a christmas..
