Julie, EVERYONE has loads of those b****y things!
I was a Brownie Leader at the time, the girls kept bringing me keyrings & pens & bracelets they had made me. Then someone else would see them give me it and have to make me one too.....

It became quite a challenge to see what weird and wonderful creations you could produce though.

I know everytime I turn out a cupboard there is at least one finished/half finished creation lurking. But I was as bad as the kids, if you get in the flow it's very compelling!

Loving the (almost) instant gratification that comes from *homeland* swaps!

Glad you like it Libby - it's reversible too so you get 2 for the price of one!

Libby, you are amazing I can't believe that from a bunch of broken bracelets and earrings you managed to make something so beautiful!

The wire wrapping and creativity is just way too advanced for me to even compete with but I love them so incredibly much. <3

I felt so bad that I'd *forgotten* I'd signed up for this, I had to stuff that envelope as full as it would go. lol It even came back once for more postage. I know it was supposed to be a little bit of stuff but I felt horrible Tongue
