it's wedding jewelry time!

 For the past few weeks I've been hammering away until late at night working on 6 sets of bridesmaids jewelry and one for the bride. It's been so much fun customizing each set.
Each girl will receive a set of 3 hammered silver bangles with a mix of aquamarine, emerald, amethyst and blue sapphire gemstones and a hand cut star or flower.
The bride is getting a mix of pearl, aquamarine (faceted and cabochon) and white sapphire.
They're also getting earrings to match...hammered silver hoops and moss aquamarine stones.
 The best part is I'm one of the bridesmaids so I get to be there for the gift giving moment at the beach wedding in Puerto Rico!

kid friendly green smoothie

This is a fun and healthy smoothie to make with the kiddo's.  Ryder came up with this a few months ago. He wanted to make a green drink, so he pulled all of the green fruit and veggies out of the refrigerator. (I put the zucchini back :)
