Light Up Your Life

Put your glitzy jewelry to good use. Adorn the outside of a small to medium size jar with strings of beads for a festive centerpiece or accessory in any room.

1. Place baubles, bangles and beads in a small to medium clear jar. Fill to half way.

2. Place a votive in the jar and light! Make sure they flame does not reach any jewelry. As always, never leave candles unattended.

A Funny Valentine

I just bought this adorable card for my valentine. Is this cute or what?!? While there's still time to get that special Valentine, check out my friend Michelle's shop at Smash Girl Cards. She's got a very cool sense of humor and her cards are fun. Her website is www.smashgirlcards.etsy.com. She also has another shop on Etsy where she showcases her beautiful mosaic art - that's www.smashgirl.etsy.com. Happy Shopping! and thanks Michelle! You're still making us laugh! SSSTEEELLLLAAAAAAAAAA! haha

Accentuate Your Tiny Face

Make your small face become the center of attention with round earrings. Heart shaped, leaf-like or circles all become you. Wow! You’ll see!

Slim Trick

Would you like your round face to appear instantly slimmer? Try on a pair of linear
earrings in any color or texture you desire. The uncluttered look of the long earrings will detract from a round face. Try it!

23 Days Until Valentine's Day!
