Charm Braclet For Grandaughter..

16 years ago

Cocooner, I hope you don't mind stealing your bracelet idea. I will be sure to tell her where I got the idea. My grandaughter, Rachael, is a very special young lady. Rachael is 6. Her other grandma died unexpectly just 2 months after she was born. I want her to know who she was. Grandma Arellia came for a visit on the first Mother's day after Rachael was born. My son took lots of pictures. Thank goodness he did because she died the following Saturday. I have one of the pictures here on my computer desk.. Rachael loves seeing it when she comes. Arellia loved flowers. She had the most beautiful gardens. She also was a painter. She had books published.. I thought something to do with her gardens or painting..

Again, I hope you don't mind me stealing your idea. It is a wonderful one...

All of my cyber friends at OHH gave me a charm bracelet and nearly 50 different charms. Each charm represented something that they knew about me. It is so pretty and I love it so much. I know most of the charms and who gave them to me by heart. My friends timed it so that I got it just before I went to the hospital to have my right lung removed..well most of it...It is a gift that I cherish.

What a wonderful idea, I may steal it too!
Ruthie, what a beautiful bracelet, and I want to add that you have beautiful hands.

CC, she's adorable, but so darned big. Sigh. How did that happen? I'm glad she liked them, and I'll show Makayla that she's wearing the headband she designed. Ashley just got a temporary full time position at the hospital, another employee is going on maternity leave the end of the month, so her fledgling business is going to suffer, I think. I suppose I ought to volunteer babysitting so she can keep the business growing and so she can finish her orders. She's getting a lot of requests to do hair clips and halos for weddings and proms. I can't think of a cuter little model than this one, though! Annie

Hi Patti, Below is the reply I got from my Sis in OH as to your jewelry question. Hope it helps you --- Sal ------------------------------------------------------- Here you go. I found this website in my Bead Unique magazine. Your friend can go to the main website and order the catalog for all kinds of beading supplies. If I were her I would pick up the magazine at a craft store or ask for a supplier where she gets her beads. http://www.firemountaingems.com/search.asp?skw=magnetic%20clasps Here's a few more sites: www.whimbeads.com, www.thebeadery.com, www.andssilvers.com; www.kempertools.com

I like the idea of including the other grandma, but starting off the bracelet with a charm or two each. I think the fun of a charm bracelet is adding to it over time. Like Azzalea, I don't ever wear mine, but I'm glad I have it. My mother gave me charms while I was a teenager to remind me of different things. My favorite charm was an ice cream cone. She and I had gone to a very fancy fashion mall and got ice cream cones. We were window shopping while licking our cones when suddenly the ice cream fell off her cone and went SPLAT on the nice floor. We looked at each other with wide eyes and RAN AWAY. It was so uncharacteristic for either of us, because normally we would have tried to clean it up. We were so embarrassed that the ice cream fell and then we ran, but we both found it so FUNNY and we still laugh about it. She got me the cone to remember that moment of bonding in my teen years. I think it means far more to me now than it did then.

whew... oh good because in my haste to pack the box I forgot to put it in and had to slice an edge and slip it through but had no idea if it would be visible when opened or lost in packing stuff... momentary panic here. so if you consider them all ending up as adult sized braclets, we should have somewhere around 10 hearts for each... and there's some wiggle room for anything you deem impossible to work on (badly cut or too small or what have ya) and then that tiniest possibility of a misshap at the platers (so we won't be dissappointed if there is) So listen, if I get back 30 hearts I will be thrilled and if there's left overs you are welcome to have those (I think it was 41 total of the thinner ones) I can not wait to see them, will you post pics as you go? I'm so excited to see that blue floral with the metal around the edge... (I'm wierd! LOL)

Old hands... trin......I have always had great nails but not great skin.......I thought it was a wonderful gift...The charms are not expensive and we have done it as a gift several times now. It made me very teary when I received mine. I have a picture that Beloved took when I was opening the box and I'm just boohooing...

Thanks for adding this story, Susie ... perhaps it will nurture a seedling that was planted in the mind of several with cocooner's story.

How much pleasanter if gift-giving can be a shared thing rather than a comptetitive exercise.

Susie, what a sweet idea to create a wonderful memento of her other, late, grandmother for your granddaughter. I'm so glad that my idea gave you inspiration.

Ruthie, thanks for sharing the pic and story of your lovely bracelet. I hope that you're feeling better now.
