Out With The Old And In With The New

Hmm I was quite sad to see the old work horse go but after months of hub looking and commenting on new motors I caved in.

So bye bye Subaru Forester.

And hello to Renault Megane.

This beauty has a funny card that you put in it to be able to press the start button to get the engine going. Drives so quietly, except over/in potholes. But the brakes, OMG, I almost put myself through the windscreen. Got to get used to those. Not too sure of the leather interior though, I think I am going to get some seat covers.

I drove it home at lunch time with the roof down but, oh my, it was 35 (almost 100) and even with the air con blasting I ws sweating. So I will stick to the roof down on 20'ish days.

Gift Idea #4

Want to keep in touch with loved ones, dear friends and family or would you like someone to keep in touch with you? This notecard and gift set is ideal for yourself or as a gift for someone else.

The beautiful paper purse has hydrangeas and butterflies on the front and back. The front is accented with glitter and a blue rhinestone. Inside is a set of four notecards with matching envelopes and cute little envelope seals. Another gorgeous creation from Southernscraps at Etsy.com

From myself you could add a little touch of dangle with my Blue Ice Earrings. Created with blue glass cats eyes and Swarovski crystals attached to a silver tone metal snowflake. What a great combination.

JET Team goes blue

A big thank you to DesignsbyCher for this beautiful blue treasury which contains my stunning blue bracelet.

JET team rocks with the blues!

What a Set!

I absolutely adore this matching necklace and earrings.

They wouldn't have been possible without the gorgeous handmade lampwork beads by MyCabinCreations. Just click on the link and check out the array of lovely lampies.

Both contain royal blue lucite beads with the earrings having the added touch of filigree bead caps and silver tone bicone spacers. The chain for the necklace is put together with 100+ patterned silver plated jump rings.

And yes I have gone blue again!!!

I've Got The Blues!

Have you ever purchased something and want more but haven't got a clue who you got from. Well that's me.

I just fell in with the large swirly blue beads in these creations. I remember getting them from Sydney Bead Show 2007 last year but who the supplier was I cannot for the life of me remember. i just attended the show and spent and spent and spent, coming home with a bag full of goodies.

I suppose it's good in a way then I cannot repeat my designs. Also the fact that no one else will like them LOL.

Lesson learned - I MUST DO A SUPPLIER LIST!
