Graduation Year Friendship Bracelet - 2013 -

For the last few days I've been working on a bracelet pattern that I hope is going to be a big hit! It's graduation year friendship bracelets!

The bracelet come in Small (5"), Medium (7"), Large (9"), and Xtra Large (11").

This is my little sister-in-law(8) modeling the size small.

The bracelet can be made in any TWO colors!

Choose either Loose or Braided ends to tie your bracelet around your wrist.

Your graduation class isn't just a mass of people finishing school at the same time...It's people you laugh, cry, dance, and fight with for most of your life so far. It's a few people that will affect the rest of your life in some way. What better way to show how close you are, and your school spirit, than with an unique, handmade 2013* Graduation Year Friendship Bracelet!?

What year did you graduate? What were your school colors? Leave a comment with your answer! Let's see who had the craziest color combo!

Next post will be how I make my homemade envelopes!

American Flag Bracelets

My split American Flag bracelet is becoming my most popular bracelet on etsy right now. The last three orders I've had have all been the flag bracelet. I have two American flag bracelets on etsy...

Fourth of July. Red, White and Blue Friendship Bracelet

AND

American Flag Friendship Bracelet -Stars and Stripes-

I'm not sure why one is more popular than the other... Which do you like better? Oh and another question... Do you like the pictures with or without the watermark?
-------------------------------------------------------

On a side note I am really bad at making post titles. After a few minutes of scratching my head I just decided to title it American Flag Bracelets because I couldn't think of anything else. 

ALSO.........
I really like crocheting (:

It's been quite a long time since I posted on here last... But in my defense I was going to school full time AND I was working three part time jobs, so I didn't have a lot of extra time on my hands. A lot has happened since my last post so let's do a little recap of everything that has happened in chronological order...

Happy 21st Birthday Shane, Happy Birthday Daddy and Rich, Happy Thanksgiving, Shane and I got engaged!, Sydney's 13th Birthday, semester at St. Kate's ended, learned basic first level ASL, I made scarves for everyone for Christmas, Merry Christmas, Shane and I got MARRIED!!, Happy New Years!, here we are!
