The Summer Elements Blog Hop

Summer time is my favorite time of the year.
Not only does school get out for the break, but
it is time for hot weather, pool days,
beach play and road trips.
Rita of Toltec Jewels and Jewel School Friends
put out a call for The Summer Elements Blog Hop
and I knew I wanted to join in.

Growing up summer meant road trips.
Whether it was the Redwoods for a car run, panning for gold
in Colma, CA or spending a week in Yosemite,
my mom always made sure that we did something as a family.
I think that is what I loved about growing up.

But now, summer for us means spending time as a family, BBQing
and just enjoying the time we have together.

Summer almost means toe rings, anklets and cool bracelets.
Here are a few pieces I made for this summer.

I don't normally make necklaces and when I do
I love long long ones.

 I made this bracelet for a summer dress a friend made for me.
She just sent it out, but when it gets here I will def post
some pics.

And then this last one to go with a top my daughter got me for 

Mother's Day....

Well that is it..

I am going to pour me a glass of Cantaloupe water

and start to hop.

Thanks Rita for such a fun hop.

Here is a list of the other participants..

So grab a cold one of whatever you may like to drink

and enjoy the fun.
