So, three days after I vowed never to drink alcohol again…. some jerk has to go and buy me a bunch of Jägerbombs. I just can’t escape. Who the hell am I to turn down something free?

We had a nice BBQ Friday night to welcome a friend home from Iraq. I think I drank more beer than I’ve ever had in my entire life.

This post makes me sound like an alcoholic. I’m not, I swear. I am only addicted to Starbucks and Diet Coke.

I love this:

I am so excited! The pendants from my last post made it to the “Hot Projects” section on Craftster:

Hope everyone had a nice Mother’s Day. Mine sucked. It was pretty uneventful and left me feeling like certain people just don’t give a shit, even though most everything I do is for my family. And of course I can’t say anything because then, if they do something for me next time, I’ll feel like they only did it because I bitched about it last time. And no, they don’t read this.

I know, boo hoo right? I can hear the violins….

Yay! I’ve been very crafty lately and I finally had some time to take pics. They are not finished yet, of course. I still need to add the bails and chains to these pendants.

These are clay pendants with images decoupaged on top. I sanded the edges to round the corners and I used resin to seal the images so they are nice and shiny and water resistant:

The white clay is the best stuff ever. Its Fimo clay with glitter already mixed in. It’s very forgiving. I’ve only ever used Sculpey and honestly, I like the Fimo better. It seems to sand nicely too compared to Sculpey and I think I will use it from now on. The red and pink clay is also Fimo with glitter.

Then I also made some straight resin pendants with candy, glitter, and alphabet beads. I know, its way over done these days, but I love them:

I still need to sand the edges of the resin pieces.

I have TONS more pendants. Like at least 100 or more. I did a lot of wood pendants with retro images, etc. too. Can’t wait to finally add chains to all of them and take photos. I hate the fact that there are only 24 hours in one day.
