I know! I know! It has been forever. However: 28 third graders, parent conferences, impending report cards, and mind blowing changes to the educational standards will do that to a blogger. So now I do however have a little jewelry makeover to share.

I originally made this as a charm bracelet. It turned out very cute, and coordinates with so many things in my wardrobe. The problem was that it is totally impractical for my work life. That dangling bracelet drove me nuts and would get in the way when I wrote on the whiteboard.

Solution! Turn it into a necklace. The beauty of it is that I engineered it to be able to come off of the necklace chain and still be able to use it as a charm bracelet as I wish. All I did was add lobster clasps on my necklace chain. What do you think?
Mary, I love the bracelet but could also see that it would drive me crazy after awhile. But they are great for getting attention of the kids and others. Also, I believe you will get more use out of a necklace. All wise woman make things so they can do more than one thing with them. God has so blessed you with your hands. My thanks to you for sharing those blessings to others.
Perfect. And it is much cheaper to buy thrift shop bracelets and use a more generic necklace chain to have a t just the right length for you. I have ones that are for summer and for winter wearing as I wear different necklines then.

Thanks so much Debbie. You are right. I have worn the necklace so much and the bracelet not so much! Have a great day.

RIght? I have lots of ideas for those old bracelets. It is tough to have something on your wrist like that as a teacher!
