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!

January 26th: Nature

Or this gorgeous sunset :)

After being stuck in a window-less office 5 days a week, I actually look forward to waking up early weekend mornings for my runs.  Not for the exercise, but just to spend some time outdoors, breathing in fresh air, getting some vitamin D from the sun and enjoying the feel and smells of everything.

This Sunday, I spent the ENTIRE day outdoors and had a blast.  A friend and I hiked 6+ miles through Estero State Park on Florida’s western coast then enjoyed a lovely sunset on Sanibel Island.  Shameful to say but, I’ve lived in Florida almost my entire life and had never been to this location only 2 hours away from my home!  It was lovely and I got to see so many fun and interesting things.  Enjoying it with a kind soul is always a bonus 🙂
