Christmas jewelry

I really have nothing worth blogging about today, so I'm sharing pictures of the jewelry I received for Christmas:

not a very good picture of the beautiful silver/amethyst earrings from Two Fish Galleries:


silver/abalone earrings also from Two Fish Galleries (to match my ring, necklace, bracelet, and watch):


multicolored bead necklace from Premier Jewelry:


and a hand-made (not by me, though) silver/bead bracelet:


I want to learn how to make that bracelet! I haven't sat down and examined it, although I have worn it several times. After I got this bracelet, I started copying the loop on the right side on my beadwork. I like it better than a silver o-ring. Riveting information in this last paragraph, I know :-)

today's song: "The Words I Would Say" by Sidewalk Prophets

Be strong in the Lord
Never give up hope
You're gonna do great things, I already know
God's got His hand on you,
So don't live life in fear
Forgive and forget
But don't forget why you're here
Take your time and pray.

today's verse: John 3:16
God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son so that whoever believes in Him would not perish (go to Hell) but have eternal life (in Heaven).
