the PANDORA bracelet thread

[NorthShoreRPh]

You sound just like me! Sometimes I change bracelets during the day.... I might ignore some a few weeks at a time, but eventually they all get a turn!!! And yes, I have pictures on my phone that I keep just to look at them... LOL! It's a sickness!

I just took my computer in for repairs......I wonder if they check out pictures and things on someones computer.....if they do, I can only IMAGINE what they must think of me......I have dozens of bracelet pictures saved to look at.....a bracelet freak!

Re: Lariats
First I tried this, but it was too hard to do up. This is using 2 cotton strings.


Then, I ended up with this one, which I wore for a day....


Somehow I end up just using them as a necklace. Just put it on, then tie a knot at the back to adjust the length (it's at the top right of the picture), will see if I have a better one....BTW, these are my 4 bracelets: 1 silver, 1 2-tone, 1 oxidised silver, one gold.

Cute bracelets!

Hello Stranger! I have been MIA from this forum for a little while too. Life is getting too hectic! Sounds like you've done well again! What are the ones you have coming from the US?

i just have
2 white looking muranos
2 pink looking muranos
2 pink heart muranos to replace the ones i sold a while ago.
the sea shell with 14k gold
and the new cut out stars and cut out hearts.

Here's one of my current projects. I think I'm going to move my Bee and Dragonfly onto it, and hope that the BlackFriday bead this year will go with it somehow...

I like your choice of purple here!

I like the "no more debt and more pandora." That was very nice of him to share!!!

Glad to see you back here posting again!

hehe its good isnt it.
i will just explain what it is as i dont know if this has gone on in other countries apart from the uk.
ppi is payment protection insurance years ago when taking out loans from the bank or any other finance companies you had to have ppi.
now it has come to light that anyone that got sick pay etc from work paid to them never needed ppi but at the time the banks really didnt give you an option but to have it.
as above it has come to light that any ppi that was missold you could claim it back as it wasnt worth the paper it was written on.
and that is what my partner did and can you believe that over 3 different loans the ppi was just short of £10,000.
now his last loan was paid off over 3 years ago but he still got it all back.
so happy as he has just given me £5,000 whoooohooo he must love me.

Wow! Lucky you!!! Don't go spending it all at once!

LOL! It doesn't look like crap! I have to say I saw your STUNNING collection a few pages back and nearly fainted! You are so lucky, and I loved your story about how you bought your first bracelet and charms in Vegas, sneaking off and doing it, etc!
I have tried using the lariats, but the cotton string version, with not much success, will post a pic soon. Just noticed on the pandora FB page today someone posted a beautiful one with green muranos. Maybe they work better with muranos? Just a thought. Still, I love the gold charms. I so need more of them!

Thanks SG I will check out that pic on FB for inspiration

4 bracelets? awesome lol I looked at the strings the other day in the store, but they seemed so blah, and expensive with the gold findings. I think it would be a waste for me to buy them they would end up unused.

no, It doesn't look like crap at all..... much better than I can do lmao

Yay, thanks!

I have a lariat that just sits there.... once in a while I try to do something with it, but then I get all flustered and take it apart.

Someone wrote that they had theirs "knitted" by a lady in the store... I am so not crafty, but had a crochet hook at home... so why not? LOL! Yeah, didn't really work... hahahahahahaha!

knitted! lol I need someone to knit for me

Yeah.... "normal people" have pictures of their kids or grandkids, or pets even.... but really (like SG mentioned early)... I have 12 pictures of basically the same shot for each and every bracelet x 100 and over a course of the year (and like 95% are garbage, hence the dup shot).... LMAO! Out of the 700 pics on my phone, I'm sure like only 15% are pictures of anything else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[coconkally]

Thanks!

lmao well i do owe £2,500 out so will be left with £2,500 and i am actually going to behave myself
well seriously we go camping in june so i want to be able to do what i want while i am there go on days out and eat out so i am going to keep hold of the cash till then.
BUT..... i may go shopping while i am there and i know there is a pandora shop there but i dont think i will end up buying anything as after finding perlen and that US ebay seller skylar, i just cant justify paying full price.

Yes, full price is over-rated!!!!!!! (I seem to remember a similar conversation with you regarding money and vacation from LAST year)... LOL!

I went camping once with my brother and sister in law. We were in tents, and he actually got another tent, brought a nightstand, a tv, and paid for cable to the site. He stayed in the tent with the cable tv and a big fan plugged in like the entire time! That's roughing it? LOL!

Love the purple leather! welcome to the pandora thread

Great start, love the purple leather and your choice of charms!

Love the blues against the purple leather! :welcome2:

Thank you for the welcome! I've been enjoying all the photos that everyone is posting. Now I'm planning all sorts of combinations for future bracelets. This thread is very addicting...I almost wish I didn't discover it because tpf is what got me in trouble with bags in the first place, lol!
