glitter & rhinestones.

There are big pictures ahead, so enjoy this little read as you patiently wait for them to load :)

As it says up there on the top in the left column, this blog is named (among other reasons such as EVERY BLOG NAME ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH IS TAKEN!!!) for the fact that my wonderful older sister Jessica was well aware of my craftiness and insisted that I would eventually cover the world in glitter & rhinestones! Very appropriate name for my blog, I think.

Thankfully, my creativity matured. I used to do really weird stuff. I remember when I was VERY young, I would pour neon fabric paint into Dixie cups, and drop in fake flowers and seashells. When they would dry, I would cut off the bottom of the cup. What did that leave me with? A strange, obnoxious disc of CRAP that I loved for some reason. I wonder what happened to those crap discs...

I would also literally cover anything with glitter. I loved glitter. I ruined my Fisher Price kitchen dishes because I had some fascination with making fake drinks with water, glitter, glue...basically whatever random things I could get my small hands on. Water evaporates, and wet glitter turns into moldy smelling glitter that has fixed itself to the plastic. Ugly mess. I actually remember my Mom hosing off all the dishes and the little kitchenette thing because she wanted to give it to Goodwill instead of throwing it away. I think I helped, but probably not. I was a brat. But look how I turned out now! :) Didn't improve much, honestly...the kitchenette, not me! I'm AWESOME. My hands are still small by the way; I'm talking size of 8 year old kids' hands small. Yep. Baby hands here (in fact that's one of my lovely boyfriend's nicknames for me). I'm not a circus freak, ok :(

Enough rambling. I have searched Etsy for the finest in glitter & rhinestones, and that's what you will find in the next 2 collages! Enjoy.

I love glitter. Anytime I leave the Christmas section of a store, it looks like I have made out with all of the ornaments. I got glitter in my eye once at Wal-Mart. That's what I get for checking out corporate made Christmas goods. I prefer handmade goods covered in glitter instead, anyway.

oh, you know. sparkles n shit.

My Mom bought me a Be-Dazzler once. No one I have come in contact with has been bedazzled by this product. It didn't even work right. Thanks Mom, but next time just buy me rhinestones and super awesome glue! :) Even though I enjoy my jeans SANS a decal of a cat made of sparkly stones, I DO enjoy these pretty handmade things.

Bedazzlers suck, but this stuff doesn't!
Pretty sparkles!
