Rings & Things Goodies - Memory Jewelry

I have a completely icky head cold right now, started last night just before bed, too, so I didn't sleep very well. I don't feel completely awful, just very congested. I went to work this morning (I have this thing about calling in sick on a Monday) which I really shouldn't have. About an hour after I got there I was so miserable that I drove to the local Walgreen's and bought nose spray, Dayquil, tissues, throat drops and a huge pump bottle of hand sanitizer. I hope I didn't give this to anyone else.

I left work a bit early this afternoon, at my manager's kindly suggestion, which also included "why don't you work from home tomorrow, too?" You don't have to ask me twice! Anyway, coming home to find an envelope from Rings & Things waiting for me was just the kind of pick-me-up I needed at the end of the day.

What a great collection of items for making memory jewelry! I haven't made any to this point, guess I'm going to have another opportunity to move out of the ol' comfy zone again. The bezel cups are going to be my biggest challenge. I haven't worked with resin yet (have some, haven't gotten around to using it) don't have a UV light for curing it indoors, and it's been cloudy and rainy lately, so outdoors isn't an option most days. I may not be able to show off a finished piece with these until I get a sunny weekend!
