Asia says:Julie, this is awesome, one complete, how many more? I have done nothing except that trip to the hardware store, to clear my mind.
On Dec 30, 2012 at 9:51 pm #
Julie Shane says:My trip to WalMart was QUITE successful. Lots of gadgets there. I saw things that reminded me of other things.
The plan is 3 bracelets and a necklace. Each is a different color/bling combo with a different re-purpose item.

foxhill designs vt says:Peridot definitely blings! I can’t believe you have already finished a piece. I don’t even know what I am going to repurpose yet. Also waiting for some new LB supplies.
On Dec 31, 2012 at 6:30 am #
Deb Harding says:Well whichever you made with this it has to be pretty. Peridot and silver pearls…cant be ugly even if you repurposed a pooper scooper.
See Asia I told you she was just luring us all in with “no no bling xhallenge” thing.
On Dec 31, 2012 at 7:55 am #
Asia says:Oh, I have tons of ideas to repurpose things, my head just spins when it comes to bling, envy you Julie, you are so natural at that
On Dec 31, 2012 at 7:56 am #
Asia says:Deb, just read your comment
On Dec 31, 2012 at 9:00 am #
Deb Harding says:About luring us in or the pooper scooper? lol
On Dec 31, 2012 at 9:58 am #
foxhill designs vt says:Deb, you created the funniest picture in my head. White angora cat, in it’s posh house with a rhinestone-studded pooper scooper.
On Dec 31, 2012 at 10:06 am #
NY Bella says:Of course it blings! Great colors!
On Dec 31, 2012 at 10:45 am #
Deb Harding says:Rhinestone studded pooper scooper! LMBO
On Dec 31, 2012 at 11:11 am #
Julie Shane says:Hi ladies. No pooper scooper. Heidi and Hannah would hate it. They are backporch chasing the salamanders type of girls.
For the record: I had SUCH a hard time with the BB challenge. That ugly dude was haunting me for weeks. I didn’t want to deal with that grief again.
However, this new challenge IS making me happy. I can do crystals and pearls because I already bought SO much and my stash is full of it.
On Dec 31, 2012 at 11:12 am #
Julie Shane says:Please note: My STASH is “full of it.” Not me… and not the pooper scooper.

Stone Treasures says:It most certainly does, especially in this pick!

Crazy Beader says:Oh this would be pretty without the challenge saga, but now I’m totally intrigued. Am truly eager to see photos of your creations !

puppychick labratbecky says:Join us!! We are all just lunatics!! Julie, I hate you.
No more whining about challenges!! I still have to BUY the one thing I am going to repurpose! Hubby knows we are doing another challenge and has warned me that it had better not involve MORE BEADS. As if! 
Peridots are perfect!

puppychick labratbecky says:Doesn’t that Little Friskies Angora have a jewel-encrusted utensil (Angora’s would never say the words pooper scooper).
On Dec 31, 2012 at 6:37 pm #
Deb Harding says:Oh thats right an Angora wouldnt say that. He would elimination eliminator. OK that sounds like something Marvin the Martian would say.

Asia says:You, are all hilarious, I’m spending to much time on the Fresh Picks, but this is a way to easy myself into this blingy business
On Dec 31, 2012 at 8:11 pm #
Deb Harding says:LOL.Asia

puppychick labratbecky says:Deb is helping me with my vocabulary today.
On Dec 31, 2012 at 8:26 pm #
Deb Harding says:I like to make up words.

Julie Shane says:Asia! Ignore them. They have been drinking way too much bubbly stuff and it’s not even close to midnight!
Seriously: It does not have to be ALL crystals. Officially it doesn’t even have to be crystals at all I guess. It just has to sparkle and shine. You can do that with silver, with faceted stones, many of the Czech beads. Just a LITTLE bit of crystal does go a long way. Maybe just ONE focal bead. Or sometimes I use the little ones as spacers between larger genstones. It’s still all about design and color and texture. Right???
On Dec 31, 2012 at 8:55 pm #
foxhill designs vt says:Right!
On Dec 31, 2012 at 9:08 pm #
Elis Mom says:I, for one, have NOT had enough bubbly stuff!(hoping to fix that!)
I DO like the bling encrusted “utensil”, but only if it hasn’t been “implemented”!

Deb Harding says:No bubblies here. No alcohol at all. German Chocolate Cake is my only vice tonight.
On Dec 31, 2012 at 9:28 pm #
Julie Shane says:Sounds like a darn good vice to me!
I have lots of little beadies keeping me company. Now that I’ve taken pictures as “proof” I’m going to take one of the re-purposed objects apart… then create something lovely that I’ll actually wear.
On Dec 31, 2012 at 9:30 pm #
puppychick labratbecky says:Still here… I can’t drink, I just watch.
On Dec 31, 2012 at 9:31 pm #
Elis Mom says:Yum! Cake! Always good! Alcohol’s bad for you anyway! But…..so is cake!
On Dec 31, 2012 at 9:56 pm #
Deb Harding says:Yes but cake wont get.you arrested, or cause you to.do.stupid things under the influence.
On Dec 31, 2012 at 10:43 pm #
Elis Mom says:No one suggested getting stupid….

Elis Mom says:Too much sugar can make one a bit kooky, too!

Crazy Chick Frida says:Love love this peridot bling

Asia says:You girls were a riot last night, to bad I missed that but went to a dinner with friends. Julie, I will make the crystal piece, just maybe not the traditional one, I could never back out of something , crystals it will be

B Moon says:Peridot is my birthstone, I can think of a few things I could do, like make a pair of earrings, or using a back piece, maybe a nice pin.
