Freshwater pearl station necklace and bracelet

Christmas is around the corner, and I have been busy trying to finish up some little gifts. This freshwater pearl station necklace with coordinating bracelet will be one. I bought these pearls earlier this year and couldn't decide how I wanted to string them. I finally decided to make this design that is a modern, updated pearl necklace verses the classic strand of pearls. Merry Christmas.

Keepsake boxes update

Hello fellow bloggers;

I have had several people ask me "how did I make these boxes?"  Well to be honest, I did not make them per sea, I did however, have these blank chipboard boxes that I purchased a few years back that I painted and embellished to match each book. 
Happy creating,
Debbie:)

Vintage Santa domino book and keepsake box

I must say that I was totally inspired by Laura Carson's little domino books that I wanted to make some for gifts this Christmas. If these look like something you would love to try, please stop by Artfully Musing. Laura not only has wonderful eye candy, but you will find the tutorial for these little books as well as other great stuff. (see her blog button to the right)
