Box of Chocolates Friday Vol. 8

This weekend I'm attending a Bible study, going out for coffee, visiting old friends and carrying on my pre-holiday jewelry making crusade. There are new pieces covering a designated portion of my work space, lending extra inspiration and encouragement whenever I need it. I can't wait to share them with you! To be honest, the next portion of the process is my least favorite: the photoshoot. I love having beautiful photos of my jewelry, but sometimes getting them can be a long and tedious experiment. I'll let you know how it goes. :)
