My New Bracelet

I purchased several fairy figurines for my daughters for Christmas and treated myself to a bracelet kit from Sherri Baldy of FuzzB. The girls loved their petite fairies and I loved my House of Shantell Bracelet

I took pictures of my finished bracelet. I love it and it was so easy to make. Sherri's jewelry line is gorgeous. I am looking forward to buying the necklace kit to match my bracelet and then I will have to get these other three necklaces I saw....oh my.
