Happy Weekend!

Happy weekend everyone! Whew, I can say that I am happy to have the past week be just that, in the past. I'm the events director at a university and we are in a very busy time of year. This past week saw 4 major events and lots of hours above and beyond the usual. Now I can sit back and relax somewhat as we ease into the end of the school year and plan for one of my favorite events - commencement. It is a wonderful feeling to see all of the happy graduates and their families and know that you had a part in helping to make their big day special.

The above flowers are a beautiful centerpiece from a florist friend of mine. She does such amazing work. I love the color combos.


I have had some time to work on a few projects. My sister asked me to make a simple birthday wand for a friend of hers. This is what I came up with.


Hubby's best friend recently became a new father. We went to see his beautiful baby girl and I made the proud new mama the above bracelet representing the April birthstone of diamonds (of which I was fresh out!)


I'm active in our local Red Cross and made the above necklace for their silent auction coming up in a few weeks.


I'm really loving the way this piece turned out. I found the fun time piece and then the brooch, and rose bracelet (not pictured). All had pink and came together to make this necklace which I have listed in my Etsy.

Happy Weekend!

  6. Hi Karla!
    You my dear a person of many talents! I love the flower arrangement in the first photo. All your jewelry creations are beautiful. My favorite is the one you made for the auction. I've wanted to experiment with small pieces of vintage jewelry for quite a while now. This post was the perfect inspiration.
    Hugs! Nancy
