Shell Shoppin'

Remember I told ya that Momma P and me went to the shell shop for my birthday?

I found some really cool shells!

These snail shells really are that bright of a yellow. I thought of Laci when I saw these. One of her favorite colors is yellow :)

This is a handful of the pectins I bought. I picked up two different sizes of these. I thought these would make some fun little necklaces.

My jingle shell project has turned into a capiz shell project. The jingles just aren't strong enough to do what I want them to do!

I bought a few BIG heart cockles!

And a few little heart cockles!

I heart these shells! LOL!

These sun and moon shells are a beautiful purpley pink.

They also had yellow, and I had to have a few. Just a few, like four of them cause they were pricey!

More cute necklaces!

These are neat shells, and I can't remember what they are. I'll look it up after I make something with them.

These are really pretty!

These are so very purple!

And I found already made shell flowers.....and this is what got me into making some myself.

 So, this last time we were at the beach, I found another shell shop....and bought some tiny shells for shell crafting too. Specifically for making flowers! I would love to use a combination of found and bought shells for my flowers. We will see how that works out!

I picked out a couple of shells for my gift from Momma P, too!

This is a melon shell....it's pretty big, and it's cool! It's going on top of my kitchen cabinets.

This murex is big and gorgeous! It goes in the living room.

How I manage to cram more seashells into my decor is beyond me, but I do manage, too!

When you walk into my craft room now, it's like walking right into a shell shop. I have a 5 tier shelf now to hold all of my shells.....it was re-purposed from another area of the craft room. I'm really enjoying my crafty space, and with just a little more organization, I will enjoy it even more.

All of my pics are cropped and ready for listing, so it's time to make more stuff! It's a good thing I get to sit on my butt and craft cause I'm so sore from bending over picking up shells on the beach I can barely walk LOL!!!!

I'll see you soon with what has already been made and photo'd.
