Cake Pops

Cake Pop Maker
So, I've recently fallen in love with this new treat I've discovered...Cake Pops. And I found a couple of places that sell them but...you know me...why buy it if I can make it! :) So my friend Brenda from work bought me an early Christmas gift, a Baby Cakes Cake Pop Maker (I imagine in the hopes that I will be making these for gifts this year, and she is absolutely right!) Yes, Ms. Brenda...you know I will be bringing these treats to the office! :) Aren't these just the cutest?

Cute Ball Keychains

Hi everyone! I had seen these somewhere and thought: "I can make those"....so I did...lol. I took a 1 1/2" wooden ball and drilled a hole and put in an eye screw with a bead cap. Then painted them with some craft paint, I used a paint pen for the polka dots, a sticker letter for the monogram and then coated them with "Triple Thick Gloss Glaze". Add a key ring and some ribbon for the finishing touch and there you go...a super cute keychain!

Harry Potter Scrabble Tile Bracelet

This is a bracelet I made out of scrabble tiles depicting all 7 of the Harry Potter book covers. I also attached a "Golden Snitch" dangle. I can't believe the last of the movies will be out this week: "Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows - Part II". It's bitter sweet, I can't wait to see it but am sad because it's the last one...:(

Crown Scrabble Tile Necklace & Ring




Hi everyone! Sorry it's been so long since my last post. These pieces were inspired by the Royal Wedding. I can be quite the girly girl & romantic. I love the fairytale where the girl meets her prince and they fall in love and live happily ever after. I found the perfert crown graphic I wanted to use; it has a vintagy look to it. I used my Diamond Glaze to adhere to my Scrabble tiles. Then I used silver daisy spacers and silver beads for the detailing around each piece and these were adhered using E6000 glue (best glue ever!). And on my ring there is a floral detail. The pendant can be worn on whatever type of chain you prefer; I thought it would be dainty on a tiny link silver chain (not too long in length, about 16" - 17").I think they're cute & romantic & girly! What about ya'll?

Beaded Scrabble Tile Rings

Hey everyone, I got another idea, this time with my rings. I added detailing all around the sides of the tile using daisy spacers and tiny silver beads. I really love how these turned out. Let me know what you think, I love hearing from you. Thanks so much! :)

Blue Birds Large Pendant


Front View

Back View
This is a pendant made using a larger wooden piece. I've tried something different and added some pearl accents around this piece. And then on the back I drew a design before glazing it. I'm pretty pleased with it if I may say so myself. I would love to hear your comments; let me know what you think. Thanks! :)

St. Patrick's Day Scrabble Tile Jewelry

St. Patrick's Day will be here next week so ya'll be sure to wear your green so you don't get pinched! Ha-ha! Here I made a couple of earrings and a pendant. The first one features a shamrock in the center and encircled with "Kiss Me I'm Irish" and the other pair features an Irish Fairy. And then on the pendant I put "Happy St. Patrick's Day" with a green glass flower dangle and a silver dangle that says "laugh". Hope everyone has the luck of the irish with them...thanks.

Valentine's Day Scrabble Tile Jewelry


Well, Valentine's Day is almost here. So of course I HAD to make a couple of pieces for the occasion. I made a matching set of earrings and a pendant of red with white polka dots (I told ya'll I like polka dots, rememeber?) LOL. The second pic is of the polka dot earrings close up & I detailed these with clear faceted glass beads. And then I made some lip print earrings and detailed those with faceted red glass beads. Whatcha think? Hope everybody has a great Valentine's Day....love to my bloggy buddies!! :)
