Let’s face it. I have one of the most creative and talent-laden extended families in the history of the universe. My word. If I started listing all the things they can make and do, you wouldn’t believe me for an instant.
All of a sudden I feel terrible that I’m blogging about my cousin Jen when I’ve had my sister Bethany’s gorgeous handmade apron and my sister Stephanie’s gorgeous handmade necklaces sitting around for ages, meaning to auction them off for the kids in Cambodia.
Soon, sweet sisters, soon!
So, meet Jen. (I stole this great pic off Jen’s facebook page. It’s a photo her new husband Devin took for his PROJECT THRE3 6IX 5IVE. If you like Gabe’s 1PhotoPerDay blog, check out Devin’s site.
Jen’s mom has 6 brothers. One of them is my dad. So we’re first cousins. Jen and my youngest sister Stephanie have always been super-close (Jen is 8 years younger than me). They played together as young tots, flirted together as teenagers and each stood proudly on the platform waiting for the other one to walk down the aisle on her daddy’s arm.
Jen and I, on the other hand, haven’t always had the smoothest of relationships. Then I matured. And now I think she’s fab.
And super-talented. The list of things this girl has accomplished and plans to accomplish is just flabbergasting. And would you look at these gorgeous crosses??!
This is the one she’s making for me. Oh, can you even handle all the CORNFLOWER BLUE??
There are three other gorgeous crosses as well. And you’re not going to believe this, but YOU CAN WIN YOUR VERY OWN BEADED CROSS!! All you have to do is click over to Jen’s blog, pick the cross you like best and leave a comment telling me the name of it.
I’m going to draw the winner’s name tonight (Tuesday) at 11pm EST, so hopefully you’ll get your cross by Easter. Wouldn’t that be awesome?
And if you don’t win, you can buy the crosses for $15. Sweet, huh??
May the best woman (man) win! (You have until 11pm EST, U.S. addresses only please.)
The Dark before the dawn.
I love “We’re all in this together”
Love them all! Dark before the Dawn or New Life are my favorite two!
Sands on the Shore has my vote;although I love them all:)
LOVE New Life. Love the colors, and love the name.
I love the pink pearl one! They are all beautiful!
I like We’re All in This Together. What a beautiful depiction of all of God’s multicolored people all around the world!
Desert Sunset is my favorite!
I think I like Desert Sunset the best, but Sands on the Shore reminds me of my mother-in-law. If I win, I will probably give it to her. : ) Of course If I win, everyone will think it was rigged by the cousins- hee hee! : )
I ADORE the colors in New Life. So pretty and what a fun Easter giveaway!
sands of the shore….too cute!

Sands on the Shore and Dark Before the Dawn are my favorites. Jen does beautiful work!
I love We’re All in this Together–it would go with any room perfectly!

Sands on the Shore would match our bedroom perfectly!
GORGEOUS! I love Desert Sunset! Actually, I love them all!
Oh I LOVE these! I love Sands on the Shore and hope so much that I win it. I am holding an auction blog to raise funds for our adoption and would really like to have one to auction off although I would be REALLY tempted to keep it for myself. Beautiful!!!
Blessings,
Sharon
Although they are all beautiful, i think my favorite is the “Sands on the Shore”!
