Back in October I participated in the first Holiday Bling Blog hop. I had so much fun that when I heard there was going to be another one, I was excited to participate again.
This great hop was organized by:
The idea was create something for your partner - it could be jewelry, something
for the house, an ornament - whatever you both decided....
celebrating a holiday in the month of February / March.
My partner in this hop was Therese Frank.
We decided on Chinese New Year!
Well, what can I say.... Therese was so generous with what she sent to me.
First, this gorgeous cuff.
I don't work with seed beads in this way and I am so impressed with what she made. I have to hide it from my 15 year old daughter!
The second piece she sent me:
These beautiful earrings - so pretty.....
She also sent along some treats:
A journal & note cards - these will really come in handy.
But.... I'm not done. Last but not least she sent along a beautiful selection of beads. How nice was that?
Thank you Therese for all the wonderful Holiday Bling & extras you were such a terrific partner!
Check out what everyone else exchanged - have fun hopping!

How delightful. I would have to hide this cuff too. Very nice and the addition of additional treasures is wonderful.

ReplyDeleteHi Leanne,
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure to make the cuff and earrings for you, because I just felt like you would truly appreciate them.
Enjoy the other goodies I hope they bring you good inspiration to create with. Once again thank you so much for my necklace I love it.

Great post and such cool pieces. This really was a great hop :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, you certainly are ready for the Chinese New Year, every year from now on, and the extra's are so Therese!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining us in this Holiday Celebration.
That Asian coin piece is awesome. I love metal focals mixed with beads and fiber. SO much texture! You did such a great job and Therese seems to absolutely be delighted!
