Variety Pack of Projects

I'm participating in Finished for Friday at Lit & Laundry this week. I am a sporadic participant, as I am a great procrastinator!
I've complete several projects this week, even with assisting my parents in watching the grandkids.I wasn't getting any custom orders for the initial cards I was showing on etsy, so I made up some with the most common first-name letters for women.I'm slowly getting them listed, and have already sold a couple.They come in coordinating sets of 2 in a cello bag, making them great stocking stuffers.I also made a few pairs of these Christmas angel earrings. I like the mix of silver and colors, and they are larger than my other angel earrings. For me, personally, these are the ones I would wear.I thought these were a cute idea. They are Christmas Wish bracelets, which can be tied on well before Christmas, with the wearer making a wish, and not taken off until Christmas Day. Or, the long strings can be cut off and the bracelet can be taken on and off with a knot and loop closure. I'm selling them for only 1.50, but they take longer and are more challenging to make than you'd imagine. A few Christmas stretch bracelets, some funky, some more elegant. The one above I call Candy Pillows, and below is Christmas Geometry.They range in price from $6.00-$8.00 depending on the cost of the materials. Some of these fancy beads cost more than $1.00 a piece! Above is Christmas Treats and below Space Age Peppermints.Check out those red beads that look like the planet Saturn with its rings!I also have a few that are smaller for a child's wrist, like this one I call Sweets for the Sweet.
Now I have a job for those of you visiting this week. I am participating in a Secret Santa Swap and plan to send one of these 4 bracelets to my swap-ee. Please vote in the poll on the right for which YOU would most enjoy. I can't decide which I like best, so I figure I'll go with a group vote. Thanks in advance for your help!

  7. I love Space Age peppermints but Christmas geometry is cute too. These are really cool. They would look cool with some dangly charms too. I am all about the jingling.

i have shut off the CAPCHA, so if you are asked to type a word or number, please let me know. It is very annoying and slows down comments.
