Oh you know...just Sewing on Sunday

A new necklace from an old one!  
I've had a ripped out page from a magazine floating around for about 3 months now!  And since I had a quiet weekend, I pulled it out and gave it a go!

My Inspiration: Boden's Sea Green Beaded Petal Necklace 

Ooo lala right?
But for real - 64 dolla?  
Are you nuts?!?!?!

So I had this:

And I gave it a little love and turned it into this:


At basically free - I say uh huh!  and the girls at work said uh huh too!  
Holla - that's how you save a dolla! (or 64 + shipping)

Dumb Luck

Recently in my mailbox at work I received this:


Every year gfs does this big March Madness party and we all draw teams and put our names down on the brackets.  I distinctly remember drawing a team (I have no idea which one), looking only at the seed number and saying, 'Oh Great, a middle seed I might as well not sign up!'  But I did, and apparently they had the glass slippers of Cinderella this year!  Giftcard!
