Earring Giveaway and a Tip

I have been trying to do one giveaway a month.  This time it is a pair of earrings that I made.  I dabble with jewelry making off and on.  I can get addicted to buying beads.

I like to make earrings, bracelets and necklaces.

I hate to admit that I watch the Bachelor/Bachelorette, but I do.   One of the girls on the show had a necklace that I loved.  She was the one whose husband died( I think in a plane crash) and I believe Jason surprised her by letting her visit her son on a beach.  Once again not sure if it was for her birthday or her son’s birthday.  Anyway, I tried to copy her necklace.  It was a multi colored and multi strand necklace with a large silver round pendant.

I wore my look alike necklace today and thought I would share some photos of it  I took the  photos of myself in the mirror so the “D” is backward.  I made the pendant with metal silver clay and stamped a “D” in it.  I had my son press his thumb into the clay to make a thumbprint.  The “D” is for David.  I don’t remember what the inspiration necklace had on the pendant.  Maybe nothing at all.  It was just big and silver.

I like to put these hook clasps on the pendants so that they are removable and can be worn on different necklaces.

Here is my tip.  I found a product that seems to be helping me with my new age of 40.  The corner of my eyes seem dark and tired these days.  I don't like concealer because  it settles in my wrinkles and I am not big fan of base makeup.  I use a little bit of Bare Minerals powder for foundation.  I found this stuff at Ulta.  It seems to help and it doesn’t cake under my eyes, settle into wrinkles or feel heavy.   So what’ your beauty secret?
