Midweek Inspiration

Just a quick midweek creative refresh! I know I needed it, how about you? I just saw this smiley bracelet I made a couple years ago during a power outage and realized I needed a little creative inspiration without the power outage!

When I feel my creativity waning, the best medicine is reading craft and jewelry blogs! Thanks to our blogger friends, here's a little inspiration to get you through to the weekend. :)
