Holiday Bling Blog Hop



Christmas came early in the north country, oh what fun, oh how exciting ... waiting for the parcel was exactly like anticipating presents on Christmas morning. I was so fortunate to be partnered with Leanne Loftus. She hails from Pennsylvania and is relatively new to blog world just like me. Leanne and I opted to just let our creative juices flow and surprise each other. I read Leanne's blog front to back (more like top to bottom) to get a feel for what Leanne might like and I hope she is pleased with her little gift. It was so much fun participating in the Holiday Bling Blog hop, knowing that what I made was going to someone far away and would be received as a little gift from a like minded individual. A big holiday wish and thank you to Shelley and Marlene for hosting such a fun hop. It made winter's coming so much cheerier.

This was my amazing and beautiful gift from Leanne. She spoiled me! I have already worn the set and received many compliments.  Thank you Leanne!

  6. What a beautiful necklace, Debbie... I love the asymmetry which is difficult for me, but Leanne makes it look so easy! I'm picturing it against a dark holiday dress and stealing the show, but you could wear it year-round, too. I love the rich, amazing design of the necklace you created for Leanne, as well. Hope your Holiday Season is filled with the gifts of Peace, Joy and Hope.

  11. Happy Holidays, Debbie!

    Pardon me for posting today -- I had "emergency" grandma childcare yesterday in the day, and my usual grandma childcare 2nd shift.

    I'm delighted to visit the wonderful blog hop now! So many nice gifts, and sharing of friendship. Leanne created a gorgeous jewelry ensemble for your holiday gift! It's beautiful bling :) Love the colorway and the modern silk and chic, asymmetrical style.

    And your necklace for Leanne is amazing! Stunning, just stunning. The rose and beadwork is so exquisite. Oh, I'm so inspired by your beautiful jewelry art!

    Love BOTH jewelry gifts -- what a lovely holiday bling exchange you two had!

    Happy Holidays,
    Rita

  16. Debbie - I just got around to posting comments. My husband ran in a marathon over the weekend - so we were pretty busy! I love the necklace you sent me! It was a lot of fun to be your partner. I'm glad my package arrived in time - I was getting a little nervous.
    Thanks again for being my partner!
