Beach-y Bracelets

Check out these lovely bracelets I made with fun finds from the beach!  My mom and I collected several during out trip to the beach last long-weekend.  I got busy drilling holes and found some great beads in my craft closet.  Some of the shells didn’t survive the drill but its a learning process knowing where to drill and which shells are best for the project.  Look for the future post on how-to!

May 17th: Beach bummin’

cool beach 2

Whenever I feel conflicted, confused, hurt, sad, happy, excited, thoughtful or joyous… the perfect setting has always been and will always be the beach.  No matter what sentiment, the beach is there to either drown out your thoughts with its noisy waves or accentuate your joy with its colors and movement.

I am a beach bum to the core.  Thank you God for such a gorgeous weekend!  The sun, wind and colors could not be more beautiful.  Unfortunately, the yellow flag made me too timid to go swimming.  In just a few more weeks summer vacation will be here and I’ll have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the water 😉

March 22nd: Beach, here I come!

Let me begin by asking you something… Do I look like my mom, OR WHAT?!  LOL (she can’t deny me, thats for sure.)

I had all the good intentions in the world to wake up early and do my regular early morning long run this Saturday but… when the alarm went off at 6:30 and I heard the rain falling outside I decided to cuddle up with Max a little longer and stay comfy in my bed.

It appeared to clear up a bit by 8:30 so I called my mom and did an impromptu trip to the beach.  We only stayed for about 45 minutes because it got cold and rainy again (despite how sunny the sky appears to be in this picture, it was short lived.)

Not a bad way to start the weekend, though…. and to end my Saturday on a sweet note, dinner with my dad and step mom 🙂
