Brittany and I started out to make some beaded bookmarks loosely following Better Homes and Gardens Xmas in July crafts .Some gifts for readers in the family and for Brittany's girlfriends ....
Brianne Brittany's sister had done some jewellery making a few years ago and had some leftover supplies and tools she let us use .
About 2 hours later we had made 4 bookmarks; each is 14 inches long, with a 7 - 9 beads on one end , the other end had 5 - 7. These bookmarks will fit almost any book size .
Mauve, the first one Brittany made and I think her favorite.
Green my favourite colour,
Blue Brittany's colour favourite.
Pearls
A nice simple easy craft it was that made .. rather elegant looking bookmarks ..
Did we had stopped there? No.
Brittany and I got looking at the pretty beads and the findings , minds started to work .
What about making a necklace?
What about a bracelet ?
What about earrings?
Decided we needed a few extra beads and some findings. A run to Michael's was in order.
Brittany and I are both attracted to bright shiny objects.
A day later :
Necklace and Bracelet. Necklace is a velvet necklace with a glass pendant. Bracelet is glass beads with spacers similar to Pandora .
2 sets of earrings. Modelled by Brittany.One set blue green iridescent one set millefleur glass.
We now have more beads to make into treasures.

Sweet stuff!!!
The bookmarks and jewelry are wonderful! I have a lot of beads around here that I should make something out of, too, but never get around to it. I need inspiration and someone to craft with, so glad you have your granddaughter.
I also loved reading the movie reviews, too!
It all looks so gorgeous, great creations Brittany! And such a nice Gramma to craft with you!
