Something outside of scrapping

Today I just felt the need to do something other than scrap, so I made two necklaces. I had purchased these super cute bottle caps with owl pictures and little owl beads from my friend, Daniela Costa over at The Art Life, http://www.theartlife.typepad.com/, and wanted to make them into something I could see more often than a scrap page. I drug out my beads and played with them for the first time since Christmas. It is a pathetic collection I will admit. Here is the outcome of my labors.













There is something cathartic about beading for the most part. Almost like coloring, it is very relaxing. I don't do it often enough, but who has enough time these days?

On a scrapping note, I did finish this cute LO of my niece last night. I used one of the June kits from Paper Popsicles for the patterned paper, rub ons and most of the flowers and bling. There are a few things that are from my own stash. I had to scrap this picture, look at that grin!
