A few weekends ago, my girlfriends and I made the one and a half hour drive for Fort Wayne, Indiana for the Vera Bradley outlet sale. The sale is only held only once a year in a large convention hall. This was the first time any of us had gone to it and oh my goodness was it a mad house! I have never seen a line so long in my life. We were told 4 to 6 hours just to get in!!! Nope, not for us. Luckily, there was a shopping mall right there so we still had a great time! The mall had an Archivers scrapbook store, and I was able to pick up some new Tim Holtz findings. If you've been following me for some time, you will know that I have used Tim Holtz goodies in the past - particularly his sprocket gears and swivel clasps. This time I found:
Philosophy tags: Here is a necklace I just made my husband for our trip. I made the altered charm a little more "altered" by giving it a good beating with my hammer and other metal objects.
Locket keys: I think the keyholes make great focals for bracelets, and I am planning on using the keys for toggles.
