“Give yourself entirely to those around you. Be generous with your blessings. A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.” ― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

December, no snow

We don't get snow here, how do I get into the holiday season without cold weather for this northern girl?

In case you haven't heard, Songbirds is having a bracelet giveaway.  Details on blog.  Check out her site!

I am excited about the Christmas Tree Challenge for the reveal tomorrow on Bead Soup Cafe. I have been making bracelets like crazy using many different beads and findings.  The person with the most likes will win!  This is my first challenge I have entered so I doubly excited but I know I am up against people that have been making bracelets for many years! 
I took one of my bracelets to the local bead store to show them.  They were very excited about it and also very complimentary as it was my first time beading with the tiny sead beads and putting it onto satin cording! It did take me a very long time to make it...like all day long!

I have also been making other bracelets to show you here and have them posted on my facebook page Something Heartfelt by Nancy.  Stop by, check out my page and if you don't mind "LIKE" my page while you are there.  I am pretty new at this.

Made for Marie Noel Cramp since she just had her last chemo treatment.  It is a gift from my heart! There is love infused with each knot I have thrown. I hope she continues on her path to full recovery!
