Simple Earrings...

...simple project.

A friend from work recently asked if I would make her bridesmaids earrings for her, and course I said yes! She wanted something simple but classy, and didn't want to pay a lot of money for them. 
Sometimes when I make a piece of jewelry for people I like to meet them at Michael's and get there opinion on the beads of stuff I'm picking out. There opinion matters to me, and it helps me to get to know what they really like and don't like. 

These particular earrings are for a fall wedding, and are suppose to match brown bridesmaid dresses.  The pictures I took aren't very good, but you get the idea. 

Here's the one main tool I use when making earrings.

Here are all the pieces that go into making each pair.

I'll have to try and get a picture of them on someone at the wedding.

Baby...

...season.
That's for sure! I love it! So many of my close friends are having babies! 
Many of them have already had babies, but as of recent they have been poppin-out
some more (or some for the first time)! I don't mind.
It gives me all the more reason to shop all things baby; which I love. 
I have fallen head over-heels for all things babies.
I know what your thinking...you're thinking I need to just 
take the jump and have one of my own. Well, good call, but no. ;) Not right now. 
For now I get to enjoy, love, hold, snuggle, and adore all the little ones my friends have had/are having.

I love all my baby-mamma friends. You all inspire me. 

Anyways, I thought I would share this fun gift bag I decorated for my good friend Sara's baby shower.  
**Also, I recently took some maternity pictures for Sara & Tim. 
It was my first maternity shoot, and I'm glad it was with good friends. 
I will be posting some pictures of them shortly. 
They're expecting sweet little Alaina Noel Hilton in September. YAY! 
I can only imagine their excitement. 

Here's the gift bag. I had fun with this.
