Focusing on Life 52 photos week 10 - All Wrapped Up

52 week badge

Hi Y'all

It is week 10 of Focusing on Life 52 photos this weeks prompt is all wrapped up.  Sally of Studio Sublime asked us to take a picture of what wrapped up means to us and talk a little about the subject we chose.  
So okay my all wrapped up has to do with the freeform peyote bracelet I did for the freeform peyote challenge that Karen Williams and Mandi Ainsworth hosted a couple of weekends ago.  I posted my finished bracelet on Facebook and it sold not long after it was posted (I bet you can visualize me doing a big happy dance, oh yeah!) That's right I took pictures of me wrapping the bracelet up to be shipped off to it's new home in North Alabama.


I mailed it off Wednesday of this week and I got a message from Linda on Thursday telling me that it had arrived and that she loves it and so does the Post Lady who just happens to be a friend of hers.  I do not know about the rest of you, but I am always thrilled when someone loves what I spent hours creating.  I also decorated the little box that I sent it in.

If you would like to see what the others have wrapped up this week head on over to Sally's blog and check them out.

Happy beading Y'all

Good for you that it sold right away, yes i can see you doing the happy dance and the buyer as well when she opened that lovely packaging!
