Beads, Blessings, and Busyness

I made a couple more necklaces today.
I went to Joann and used my coupon. They were having a MAJOR sale. I was able to get a ton of stuff, without spending a ton of money. I found some beads to go with the black ones I bought last week...and I made a necklace with them that I am quite happy with. I also made one as a gift for someone very close to me...who I don't think reads my blog...but I still don't want to say who it's for in case she finds out somehow.
I took some pics of them...but my camera batteries are almost dead, so they're not the best...but I think you'll get the idea.

I am really proud of this one. I didn't know how I wanted it to look, so I started experimenting, and this was the result.

The big black bead in the middle is one of the ones I bought last week that I had nothing to go with.

I really liked how this one turned out, too. It's very simple, but I think that's why I like it so much.

This at least shows a little bit more of the length of it.

I just kind of held this one up to myself. You can't see the whole thing, but at least you get an idea. The colored ones look orange in this pic, but they are definitely more of a pink color.

I think I may be addicted...and that makes me very happy. It's exciting to know that something you've been wanting to try is something you actually enjoy.



On another note, my life is about to get a lot busier...in a good way. I have a lot on my plate in the next couple of months...but I am excited for all of it. I am looking forward to the growth that is going to take place in many lives.
God knows what my heart needs...and He's been doing a wonderful job giving me opportunities to fill those needs. Or, maybe the opportunities have always been in front of my face...and I'm just now seeing them. Hmm...
