Halloween is a much anticipated holiday in our home. It reminds me a bit of Christmas because my children start telling me what they want to be this year shortly after the 4th of July. That would work out fine, if they didn't change their minds all the way up to October 30th.
One thing I do find interesting is how over the years, their costumes change from cute and sweet to down right frightening. I actually considered the possibility that they might need some therapy.
My husband is just as bad. Oct. 1st hits and suddenly he becomes this (dare I say) crazy person who has to create the scariest house on the block. I'm not really sure where that comes from, but after talking to some friends, I've decided it must be a guy thing.
I hope you have fallen in love with the Autumn Harvest Set as much as I have. You can finally throw out your tole painted necklaces and replace them with something a little more hip. The great thing about this project is that you can wear it until Thanksgiving.
Have a Happy Halloween & remember; Never Stop Creating!

Christmas is just around the corner and it's time to start thinking about gifts to give. Everyone loves jewelry, especially when it's made by someone you love.
Get a jump on the holidays by making yourself something "smashing" to wear at all your holiday celebrations.
Gemstones are definitely the trend. Deep rich colors mixed with chain, fibers, and organic materials, are making quite a statement this season.
