Nausea replaced by Complete Squee

Two hours of trial and error later and using less than three dollars worth of beads and clasps...I've made the most awesome bracelet I could ever imagine and it actually looks professional. It reminds me of one of those bracelets you get at Francesca's Boutique or Anthropologie for thirty or forty dollars. After I finished the final crimp, I showed my mom and sister and now they want me to make ones for them too.

Before I strung and tweaked all those beads together...












And after...





I'm certainly no longer feeling bad about how much I spent. I think before the night's through I'll have another bracelet strung up and ready to wear for tomorrow.
