Bracelet Swap

The more I get into the blogger world, the more inclined I am to meet/make new friends.  The idea of blogging at first scared me because of what people may think about what I have to say.

After doing this for the past 7+ months, I feel like I have made so many new friends and appreciate all of the support I received over the months.  You all are GREAT!

When Meggy over at ChasingDavies announced she was having a friendship bracelet swap I was pumped! I am always up for adding new jewelry to my collection and making a new friend so sign me up!

I was paired up with the sweet as can be Shelly of GS Lillian. Megan told me how she loves Shelly's blog and was so excited that I got paired with her which made me even more excited. BUT, also nervous since she is quite the jewelry maker herself! Talk about pressure... she is awesome at making jewelry and the last time I attempted to make something was so far back I can't even remember. Pressure aside, I was thrilled to go searching for a bracelet Shelly would like and would be something I could actually make!

Meggy recently received a bracelet similar to this from another bracelet swap and I loved the look.  I tracked it down on her Pintrest from Honestly WTF.  They made it so easy!

As you know I was out of town all weekend, and on my way to Denver I get an email from Shelly saying she sent her bracelet. I was like a little kid on my flight back to KC so excited to see what Shelly made me.  Not surprisingly her bracelet was AMAZING! Not even kidding.  This gal's got talent! It even came with a cute little GS Lillian tag which made it her own and special that she took the time to do all the finishing touches.

Check it out!!! I wore it to work on Monday and got tons of compliments on it. Sending them your way Shelly!




Thanks so much Shelly for the great looking bracelet.  If you love it too you should check out her shop, there is plenty more for you to choose from!
