Slow newsweek here, guys. I've been a crafting robot the last few days, hurrying to get as much stuff made as I could for the charity bazaar-- Mothers Without Borders. Mission accomplished, and a deadline met-- ornaments, red ribbons, twenty-seven bracelets, and a few random goodies delivered today. Yay!
The bracelets sold out last time almost before the boutique began. So I wanted to make as many as I could yesterday.
My favorite bracelets, the two Jesse made with the leftover findings.
On the home front, Sophey entered the school art/photography contest today. These are the photos she took around our house. It's gorgeous here right now. Nice work, sweetie.

And last Saturday, Ainsley, Sophey, and myself made our annual treck to "Witches Night Out". It's west of SLC, in a place called Gardner Village. It's a village of pioneer homes, now turned into fun shops.
We ran into some witch friends of ours.
This festival has grown so large, it really was wall-to-wall witches. So packed it was hard to get good photos. I'll bet there was a cool thousand witches strolling, shopping, dining, and literally dancing in the moonlight last Saturday. We unanimously decided it was kinda creepy hearing "Thriller", this year.
Snapped a blurry Glenda the Good Witch, while caught in the crowd.
Shoot. Shoulda asked her if she coulda waved her magic wand, and turned a few piles of beads into bracelets...
Always thinking of things like that a little too late. Dangit. xoxoKelly
And a big THANK YOU to Maria at GREEN EARTH ORIGINALS for donating her some of her beautiful beaded gracelets! Thanks again!
OMG girlfriend. I live in South Jordan. I was going to go, but didn't. The thousand witches would have scared me. It's got to be fun though.
You necklaces and braclets are awsome. Your so cute!
hugs

You make me want to learn how to bead. :)

I only know how to do the very basics. I went to my local craft store and they were happy to teach me how to do it! I always go on about the beads I use, but they are really the reason I had to learn to bead! If you have a minute, check out the story of the bead makers. www.beadforlife.org. and grab your box of Kleenex! It's amazing. xoKelly
