My children are so happy… their summer vacations have begun at last!

What did they do on their first day of vacation?

The read, played outside and… CRAFTED, of course.

They made gorgeous stone necklaces. A bunch of them, in all sorts of beautiful shapes and colors.

We now have a large stash of pretty birthday gifts just waiting for lucky birthday girls to have their birthdays. Kitty is delighted to have made one for each of her friends.

She twisted the wire to make a hanging loop.

She entwined the ends of the silver wire all around the stone until the stone was safely secured by wire.
