When Friends Get Together...

I don't know about ya'll, but when my gal pals & I get together...we love to craft! Pictured above from left to right is Me (Cranky Queen), my very talented friend, Melanie, & the diva of junk, Wanda (Excuse Me Why I Buy This Junk....& we get together often to work on various "creations."
Melanie's house was the location of this gal's night out. She is really into re-purposed jewelry, & chose to work on a wonderful necklace using old religious medallions, crystal chandelier prisms & vintage jewelry.
This is the finished product~this picture really doesn't do this piece justice!
Melanie wore it to work the next day!
The Cranky Queen chose to experiment with an altered~art jar with a sea theme. I filled the jar with sand & shells....& I could not refuse using this vintage picture of an adorable little girl holding a seashell to her ear!
Supplies
The Queen really concentrating on her task at hand...

Seashells, torn pages from an old dictionary, cheese cloth & sea~themed jewelry was used to alter this jar
 

This verse speaks to me...
Wanda & I hard at work!
Wanda's choice of crafting that night was changed mid-stream due to some "technical errors"...that happens often~LOL!



Wanda then experimented with a Formica counter top sample tile, making a key chain. As you can see, she was VERY proud of herself!
So at the end of the evening, everyone accomplished something & enjoyed good food, good gossip, fun crafting~even the pups joined in on the fun!
The Cranky Queen is really not that "cranky"...with friends like mine, how could I be?...Good friends are like fine antiques...priceless~
STAY CALM & CRAFT!
