This summer the Facebook group Creative Bead Chat (CBC) reached 2000 members and the wonderful ladies that keep this group thriving, organized a big giveaway. More that 50 prizes (from components to finished jewelry, magazines and gift certificates) were donated by some CBC members and given away to other members.
I have to
admit I run for several prizes, mostly components. There was also a beautiful purple
beadweaved bracelet that seemed just perfect for my younger sister. She is
currently undergoing a chemio and I said that if I win that bracelet, I'll gift
it to her to cheer her up a little. I do like and wear purple as well, but that
bracelet was calling my sister's name from the moment I saw it.
And guess
what – I won just that bracelet!!! As soon I received the bracelet I've gifted
it to her without taking any pictures, so I'm using the picture from the giveaway … She was really happy and she loves it!
The bracelet
was created by Ginger Hammond.
Here are some more of her beautiful pieces – the pictures are borrowed from
Ginger's FB profile just to thank her and show you her lovely work.
