I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Christmas holiday, I know I did! I’m exhausted from all the general commotion of parties and get togethers, balancing that with your everyday life it can get pretty hectic! I know I’m still recuperating from it all and there’s still New Years! So I’m going to attempt to get back to some normalcy and start posting more consistently again.

For today’s post I decided that I would start with the smallest gift haul and work my way up. I need to warn you these posts may go well into January only because I only post twice a week for the most part and I was blessed with a lot of goodies!

Because this is a small gift haul I didn’t film it, it was only two beads from Trollbeads so here they are:

These were on my wish list and true to character hubby got it right. He got me the Will bead and the Thoughts bead. These will go on my green bracelet which has other round beads in between green glass beads, I posted about it earlier this year on my What I’m Wearing series, click on the link to check it out.

I haven’t featured my green bracelet in a little bit, only because I figured I don’t want to showcase it too often because then it would get boring I think. Since my last post I’ve added the Silver Trace Green/Turquoise bead, Spring Waves, the Malachite bead, and Forest Flowers, here is how it looks presently:

Now I get to add what I got from Christmas which is always very exciting for me, I think this bracelet is pretty much done now:

I apologize for the lack of color correctness, I took these photos under icky incandescent light instead of natural daylight and as you can see the photos are a bit icky. Maybe if I have more time later on I will replace them with nicer photos. Also I might be able to squeeze in two more silvers, who knows! The nice thing about this bracelet which I stated before is that with this bracelet I won’t mind switching out the glass beads for other colored beads. If there are any more green beads out there in future collections I will just start another bracelet, problem solved 😉

I hope you’ve enjoyed this post, stay tuned for many more Christmas gift hauls, like I said they will go far into January as I plan to space them out, you will probably be tired of hearing about it all!
