mom's day is coming.
i have to get something for my M-I-L.
which basically means wandering around the mall aimlessly for hours upon hours only ending up getting the same thing.
a knick knack or whatever for her house.
i think i've gotten her so many of these that she has a room just for them.
hidden away in the "bring-to-good-will" pile.
no really, she is a sweetheart and i am just kidding around and am very lucky to have her, but dang, it's really really really hard to get her something different!
she does however, love her sweets.
so i made these on a trial basis:
it's no line from tiffany's that's for sure but it is different.
i made them this way:
and uh....
a mother's day gift?
i can stick it in a real jewelry box placed on top of a cut up ziploc bag...?
oooo! ahhhh! ohhhh!
sparkly!
i dunno...
maybe it's better for a little girl's birthday party.
sigh
looks like more hours at the mall...
Oh goodie! The Mother's Day goodies are here! I think these are very cute. Your dear M-I-L is going to love them!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm an M-I-L too (to sons-in-law) and I don't want any more gee-gaws. I want cute home made things like this!
you know what's really cool about the internet? that you can learn new things every day, like the word gee- gaws! LOL i had never heard of that but i did figure it was something not really needed so good ole mr. google saved the day again when i looked it up! so thanks to you J i am smarter than what i was 2 minutes ago. heehee i think i'll make you a jewelry kit :>D thanks again!
DeleteActually, I think this is an adorable idea! Maybe along with a little something else, ya know? You have a great imagination! Keep it up....I"m learning stuff too! Dona
ReplyDeleteoh thank you thank you Dona! i overworked my brain last month so i wasn't sure about this one :>P but i am 100% positive that you make me happy! :>D and yes something else is a great idea! thanks so much!
DeleteThat is such a fun idea!! I bet she'd love it ... it's like the new and improved version of a candy bracelet! :)
ReplyDeleteoh you are as sweet if not more than a candy bracelet Randi! thank you! :)
DeleteOMG this is Genuis - I love it!!!
ReplyDeletereally?!?! oh my! that just made my nite Party Animal! many times i over analyze what i do and stare at it too long just like i did for these-but i think you could make different shape pearls/beads and make them tiny too for fun :) i was tired when i made these and almost didn't post them but your comment makes it all worth it! THANK YOU!!!
DeleteCake pop jewelry is perfect for Mom's day! Plus, sooo yummyyy!
ReplyDeleteheehee who'da thunk a necklace would be delicious? these were lemon flavored! it's hard to get a person who has everything a gift they don't already have but i do think she'll never get a lemon cake jewelry set! LOL thanks again Michelle! :)
DeleteI LOVE that idea! They turned out great and I bet she will love it! I can just imagine how fun the idea would be for a little girls party also. You are so right~it is hard to find a gift for the ones who have all they want~ I definitely want to make these some day soon :0)
ReplyDeleteI saw you are following my blog also~ Thank you!!~
