Bracelet Bliss

I received my finished bracelet from the bracelet round-robin swap! It's journey is complete and now I get to wear it and enjoy it! This exchange was so much fun to be apart of on so many levels! Not only do I have a stunning piece of jewelry, but I made some pretty special connections to the other participating ladies. The best part was the connections.....And...well, the playing with beads part, of course...And, well following the progression of the bracelets on everyone's blog part was pretty exciting, too! Okay, fine. So there was no 'best part'! I really loved it all! Not one aspect of the experience could trump another.

Before this exchange began, most of the participants I had never met and/or knew little about. I do feel much closer to everyone now and got to know each person better through this experience and through the bracelets themselves, even. Each bracelet developed it's own personality that seemed to evoke the essence of the person it was for, without much influence from that originating person. It's pretty amazing how we were all able to connect to each other through the beads. We let the beads speak to us and our muses guide us. The bracelets are the beautiful manifestation of our collective creativity and our connection to each other!

A special thank you to my bracelet sisters, Heather, Lorelei, Erin and Christine!
I had a blast beading with you!
