Good luck and not so good
I guess I should have known to check Micheal's before JoAnnes (M has a better jewelry selection imho) BUT I have tons of coupons for J's and not a single one for M. So I found the perfect beads to embellish the angels, but I wish it had been a bit cheaper!
I will say I've got tons of wholesale jewelry catalogs, and I've used them, but since I have to be really particular with the colours, I have to see stuff in person, so I end up buying whatever is local. *sigh*
I'm also thinking of using metal clay because I have unique shapes to the jewelry (the angels) and I want to frame them out in metal, again, that's gonna add to the cost, but then you're getting the real deal, silver, gold, copper, but I might also be able to use steel as well. I don't have a kiln, but small pieces you can fire with a small torch.
I usually buy chocolates at valentines, but I picked up some molds onsale and I'm gonna make my own! Now I just have to look at and make some recipes, I'm also gonna have 3 Valentines cards out, Dean, Sam, Cas and hopefully Gackt too. :D
(and still waiting on my backordered parts for magnifying glass necklaces and the big magnifiers, everyone's out!
