Love Binders

Happy Valentine's Day! My sweetie lives off in another state...soon to be living off in another country...so I'm spending the day with some of my other loves: beads, wire, books, crazy home improvement television, paper flowers, fat kitty cats, skinny kitty cats, and coffee with coconut creamer. But, here's a shout out to my honey...a little love from our special day last August. :)

Anyway, back from my little romance moment...I was looking for some heart designs for an earring request that I have to do today, so I went to my special binders and had a delightful experience reminiscing through great projects. See, this is what happens...I get tons of jewelry magazines and have been reading them for years. Well, I have the kind of job that requires me to move my entire household frequently, so I can't just keep stacks and stacks of magazines. So, I go through them and tear out anything I think is interesting...color, design, technique, sales advice, technical references, whatever. Then, I sort these random pages into binders with page protectors holding them all. This morning I pulled out the "Wire" book since I knew there were probably some heart shaped wires in there. Lo' and behold, it was like a scrapbook of my Bead Soup Party friends! Too funny! For instance, here's the hostess, Lori Anderson, in a 2008 project....

I just thought it was so cool that I had to share...plus, now I'm going to look through all the binders for some fresh inspiration and ideas!! But, not until after this nutty HGTV show is over because I have to see the end now that I started it. haaaaaaaaaaaa

Happy hearts to all!!!

  1. Such a sweet wedding picture. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.... coconut creamer. :o) I like your binder idea, Jen... I just tossed out a gazillion magazines trying to organize my space... held onto the jewelry ones, though... would be nice to pull out just the stuff I want to keep & lose the rest of the bulk.

    How cool for Lori! (& what a beautiful piece!) I so need to look into getting some stuff submitted!
