Celebratory Beads!

What cheerful little beads! These are the tiniest drops I have ever seen and the colors are so perfectly balloon-like! Don't these remind you of walking into a party?

So, the question is, how can you use these in a jewelry piece without losing that celebratory flair?

I'd love to hear your thoughts on that. I'm guessing these are probably 3 or 4 mm's. The drops are perfectly rounded and even seem to have a rubbery looking texture!

I'm going to be working on a new jewelry project next week while I am on vacation (after the PBS show taping), but I haven't pin-pointed yet what that is going to look like.

Have you ever experienced many good things coming to you all at the same after hoping and believing for what sometimes seems like forever? I am so grateful to be celebrating not only a week's vacation and fabulous new media experience, but also a new job. After 20 years in the same division, I'll be moving into a department that I have only dreamed of from afar. I owe it to wonderful people believing in me and the ability to believe in myself.

AND, every new experience deserves a new piece of celebratory jewelry, don't you think?

If you have ideas, I'd love to hear them! :)
