Happy Tuesday everyone! Thanks so much for your kind comments and emails yesterday regarding my Mother. We're hoping for good news at today's appointment. :-) Last night I played with Havaianas, Swarovski crystals and glue. I wanted to show you what I "created" and see what you thought?

From now on, I will surely be making my own! What do you think? Have a wonderful day!

So I'm going to give this a whirl! Jennifer has a website where you can purchase the coolest kits and supplies.
