Peggy3 says:Wow love the colors.
The tags? made with an embosser?
I want to try that, but then again I want to try every technique

Peggy3 says:The carnelian is gorgeous. Did you get that at LB? I have the 6 or 8mm faceted I have yet to use.

Jane MS says:Thanks Peggy! Yes, I used an embosser, love using it. Not sure where I got the carnelian, I’ve had them for awhile. I’ve stated labeling my stash since then.

Granny Chick aka Nancy says:These are so cute. I love them. I wish I had all kinds of money and bought every piece of jewelry I see that I loved (like these) then when I tire of it donate them to charity to raise money.
