I enjoyed this challenge, I loved the snow flake focal and links.......And Loved the icy blues of all the beads in the kit! The package was lovely all tied up in a pretty ribbon! inside there was lots of sparkly icy themed beads and snow flake sequins......very pretty!
   I made a necklace with the snow flake focal, I wire wrapped it with some crystals, and hung in from a strung necklace of multiply shades of blue crystals and silver beads, I put some crystals on head pins and clustered them on either side of the focal and randomly in other places on the necklace. I also added a bit of the ribbon from the kit to the pendant. I also made a bracelet in matching colors with a center piece of clustered lucite flowers with crystal centers .  And a pair of earrings featuring the snow flake links and crystal drops...

This word cloud thing is pretty cool! although there seems to sound a bit greedy to me......a lot of me, my, need, have.......maybe its just a beady thing? we all seem to always want more no matter how many beads we have, or at least from what I read in other beaders blogs when I look at my word cloud, I see... me want some!!!!  MY BEAD!!!  Like I am a bead monster as apposed to a cookie monster.....kind of funny but oh so true....I guess I am a bead hoarder
