Mellow Mellie says:Awe, thank you. My daughter’s ballet teacher loves mermaids and her favorite color is purple. So, I am thinking this would make the perfect gift for my daughter to give Ms. Katy when she graduates next year. She’s a gem of a teacher and has taught my daughter, Katie, so much. Katie would not have the opportunities that she has now if it weren’t for Ms. Katy. I’ve told my Katie that great teachers are hard to come by but when you are blessed with one the impact they make is a true gift.

Mellow Mellie says:Dang it! I should have titled it “Ms. Katy’s Majestic Purple Oceans.” (I’ll do that in the card instead.)

Granny Nancy says:Oh my! A new color combo with purple. I really like it. So interesting. Definitely another POD.Interestingly, I think I still have most of these beads and other elements. The clasp is perfection.
