Okay, Purse-Ooooh. You seriously need to work for a jewelry store, or create jewelry and sell them. That is GORGEOUS. I LOVE the pink :love:! Can I ask you...do you have multiple chains and make multiple bracelets, or do you create bracelets off the same chain? DH has been buying me beads and some of them don't "go" or match well with my primary beads (I'll have to post some pics when I get back from vacation). I'm more of a pinky pastelly gal, and I've received some amber, blue, red-themed murano glass beads. Just wondering....:thinkin:

HAHA!! Thanks Vivi! Just too much time on my hands lately I suppose. :shrugs: Truth is, I try to "win" beads at a better price and since I had so many beads, I went on the "bay" and grabbed a few of the bracelets at a nice price (most sellers will give free shipping on the additionals if you buy more than one). That way when I am inspired, I have something to work with. I got lucky a couple of times and won complete bracelets for less than half the price. Then I just take them apart and use the beads in my own creation. I do have alot of beads that haven't really made it onto a bracelet, but, I save those for my necklace. My bracelets stay together, but, I change my necklace every day to match whatever I'm wearing. Not a cheap hobby, but, it keeps me busy and entertained for now ;)

Aww, Thanks Lolas - I see you are also watching the superbowl??!? LOL!!! (I only watch for the commercials) These darn bracelets are so addicting!! Could be worse, right? At least it's a bead habit and not a crack habit!! At least that is what I keep telling myself!! If you can beleive it, I got the blue one on our favorite site for 70% off of retail. It was almost exactly like it is now except I switched out a few of the silver beads. I loved the Chamilia spacers on it so much that I bought topaz ones to add to my black/gold daisy bracelet. :sweatdrop: I have a few bracelets that I haven't posted yet. I'm afraid to show everyone just how sick I really am!!! :roflmfao:

Well Vivi - You totally inspired me with your rose quartz bead and the pastel colors, so, I had to throw together a little something - I'm a nutcase! I actually have a BOX of trollbeads! Who does that?!?! A while back I had purchased the little cherubs with my anniversary date on it 10/22 and until now, hadn't found a way to use them. I'll post pics in a bit.

ME!!!:blushing: I have been a Troll/Pandora collector for over 4 years. Although I slowed down for a while when I started collecting more COACH than beads! I have a about 10 bracelets and 3 necklaces plus a bunch of beads sitting in a box! I need to rearrange some of my bracelets , I like the idea of the color themes! I'll have to take a pic of my collection.

^^Holy cow Fluffy! For real? I never knew! TEN bracelets :shocked:?!?! Can't wait to see pics! Oh, and I totally know what you mean about Coach vs. Trollbeads. I was actually trying to turn my Coach addiction into Trollbeads because I figure, buying a couple of beads every couple of weeks is less expensive than buying a couple of bags :p!

Vivi, reading this thread makes me want to take them out and play!!!
I really just added as I went and didn't have a color or theme in mind. I'd like to take them all off and start over with a "plan". As soon as the tv repairman leaves , I'll get a pic posted.

While I'm waiting for the tv repairman.....:cursing: I pulled out some of my beads. I know now the doorbell will ring as soon as I start this.
Anyway, I took these pics quickly so they are not the best.

Oh my Fluffy! :shocked:. I guess that's not too bad for 4 years! Are those necklaces heavy? Do you ever wear more than one bracelet simultaneously :thinkin:? LOVE your collection, from what I can see. The pics are sorta tiny. Any way to make them larger? Particularly the bracelets :confused1:?! THANKS so much for sharing!

vivi, i made the pics smaller because i always feel i make them toooo BIG!
Looking at the pics I really want to rearrange them and boy do they need to be cleaned! I can wear multiple bracelets and it doesn't bother me, but the necklaces get heavy and annoying. That's why I stopped with them. Plus when I would bend over and come back up they slammed against my chest! Sounds dumb I know, but they do get weighty.
I should have stayed away from this thread because I'm getting the "itch"
for more beads. And I just put two Coach bags on charge hold at the outlet (peytons), plus came home to the pce card!!!!

I know what you mean about the big pics. For the longest time I posted small pics, and accidentally posted a large pic and apologized profusely. Then everyone was like, no, we like big pics! That way we can see details :p! Lol.
Okay, on an unrelated note...Peytons? At the outlets :s? For real? Which ones did you put on hold? And...PCE???? NO WAY :shocked:. I've been eyeing that spectator sabrina...okay, wrong forum, I know. See you in the Coach forum!
