Earrings in Red and Blue

Love making earrings - instant bling in about 10 minutes or less. Here are some simple glass bead earrings that I recently made.

Brighton Charm Bracelet

I have drooled over those Pandora bracelets for quite a while. After Christmas I had a few gift cards, and decided I would buy a similar style bracelet and a few beads at Brighton. A bit cheaper and still beautiful!


I found a great way to add to my stash of beads. Munro's has colorful wide beads - $6 for a dozen. Of course they aren't silver, but pretty just the same!

Here's one combo of beads that I like!

Manchego Stuffed Dates wrapped in Proscuitto

An easy appetizer or snack.

Cut manchego cheese in tiny wedges. Stuff into the dried dates - cut tiny slits in the end of the date if the cheese won't fit (sorry about the blurry picture above).


Cute each slice of prosciutto into quarters - once across and once long way so you have 4 strips. Wrap the date in the prosciutto.


Serve as is, or you can warm it up in an oven or toaster oven for a few minutes until the prosciutto is a bit crispy.
