Hi Cindy!!
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. I will subscribe to your feedburner!!! Love the necklace!
Great to have you with us!
I love making donut necklaces. Thanks for the template and design!
Thanks, Nikki! I’m glad if you’ll find it helpful
Donuts aren’t always that easy to add to a design, but I like this because you could just switch out the beads and make a bunch of them in different colors.
Thank you, Tammy! I was very pleased with how this (simple) design turned out. It would be so easy to adapt it to different colors and beads, like you say
It really did turn out lovely. I love the color of the donut!
Thanks Linda! It may not be real quartz, but it’s awfully pretty glass LOL!
