Holiday Bling Blog Hop III

16th of March 2013....tada.....the Reveal.  Today is our Reveal for the Holiday Bling Blog Hop III and I am looking forward to see all of the wonderful items that each reveal partner put together based on their chosen holiday.

My partner for this Blog Hop is Shelley Graham Turner, one of our moderators and she was gracious enough to allow me to choose the Holiday for us to create and exchange.  After thinking, well, we could do
St. Patricks Day, Valentines just about any Holiday during this season, I wanted to do Easter, one of my most favorite times of the year.  Spring is in full bloom, flowers, blue skies, warmth, family, faith, just a beautiful time of the year.  Easter it was.  Then, I had to consider what I knew about Shelley.  A Polymer Artist, moderator, a very busy lady.  What to make?  What was my most favorite thing to wear for easter?   PEARLS!  Yes, pastels and pearls.  I had just recieved a grouping of patterns from Ella2 and she had some lovely patterns for pearls.  I didnt want anything too " foofy " as my sister says and selected a lovely pattern that could either dress up or dress down and then selected the pearls.  As a consumate BeadWeaver, she came together nicely.

When the mailing time came, Shelley would be running late in her mailing due to a family loss and of course, my heartfelt love and understanding was offered with an understanding to " take her time".  Family was so important.  But that is her story to share.  In due time I recieved a lovely box from Shelley and of couse wasting no time in opening her gift, what did I see?..........How perfect!

I just love it and will use this as the centerpiece for my Easter decorations.  Thank you Shelley and Marlene for having me in this Blog Hop.  Each one I participate in, I learn about new techniques and challenges.

Now join me in visiting each participant for the " Holiday Bling Blog Hop III " and enjoy each person's interpretation of their chosen Holiday.
