The Earring Style Book Review and Giveaway-CLOSED!



If you really know me, then you are aware that I am totally addicted to all kinds of jewelry. It just makes any attire you are wearing standout. Whether your wearing something simple or extravagant; accessorizing your clothes with a pair of glamorous earrings, necklace or even a bracelet will definitely make you shine even more. Now, just recently I was offered to do a review on "The Earring Style Book" By Stephanie A. Wells and I was quite delighted and accepted.


When I received the book, I was so drawn into it that I couldn't stop reading. I love jewelry. I am always fascinated by how designers make these gorgeous earrings. Well, this book gives you all the details and tips on how you can make your own unique earrings. It tells you what materials to use, and even educates you on the various mix of metals, chains, beads, gemstones, wires, shapes and sizes for earrings.  The book teaches you basic jewelry making skills and techniques. It is well written, with precise and easy to follow instructions. The images are clear and gorgeous to look at. Whether your style is chic, glamorous, rock-and-roll, or bohemian, you will find that you can make any type of earrings that fit your style. Anyone can have a try in making these earrings. With a little time set aside, you can have a pair of beautiful earrings in no time. To top it off, you will have made it yourself, which is remarkable in my eyes.  Don't get me wrong, I love to purchase jewelry, but making your own original piece can be fascinating. LOL.
The subject of the book is to design and create unique fashionable, trend setting earrings and getting the look for less. These dramatic, exotic and highly sought-after earrings are seen on celebrities such as Oprah, Rachael Ray, Alicia Keys, Jessica Simpson, Beyonce, Brittany Spears and more. Stephanie A. Wells, shows you how to design 40 of her fabulous signature earrings without spending a lot of time or money. She is the founder and designer of Double Happiness Jewelry.

Handmade Trendy T-Shirts!


Don't we all love it when we can create something so simple, yet beautiful. What is a better way to have it posted on your blog and share it with my readers. I feel that it has been quite along time since I have made something creative with the little one. So, it is about time to start. It is always nice to get the entire family involved in fun activities.  Daddy came up with this crafty idea. Alright, lets get started.   
Supplies:
White Blank T-Shirts
Favorite Character Printables (or whatever you have at hand)
Fabric Mate  (Non-Toxic Super Fine Markers)

As always I had to run a few errands and of course the little one and the hubby came along.  I decided to drop in at Jo-Ann. yep, love them LOL. So, hubby and the little one love to stroll through the different sections and he found the Fabric Mate Markers. We end up getting two packages, and that is when the idea came about to make our own crafty T-shirts. Find a nice area to work at and have everything in order. Since, I am making these shirts for the little one, I asked her what she wanted and she wanted a bunny rabbit character. All you have to do is browse on the internet and use google search engine or yahoo which ever you prefer to find a ton of printables. How cool is the internet?
Make sure you have a table cloth on your work table to prevent any mess.  Now, place the printable underneath your shirt and trace the printable. Once you have completed the outline, your little one is ready to color all the blank spaces. Tell them to use as many colors as they like. This will make it so much brighter and will definitely stand out. Encourage them on. I was telling Sophia, she was a world famous fashion designer. When you are finished, set aside to dry. Once it is done, guess what, you are now ready to put your Trendy T-shirt on. Yep, you have made your own design and guess what your little one will look absolutely gorgeous in it and be proud of their own creation. Simple as that! Now, what are you waiting for, get busy and make one!  

Sincerely,
