This was fun to put together. Just your average memory wire strung with beads, then wrapped with fine gold wire, add a few other little beads on that wire, attach two charms and a clasp. This helped pass a very rainy afternoon so it qualifies as "a thousand times better" than just lying around watching soap operas or something.
Which brings me to confess a secret guilty pleasure. It's kind of akin to having a box of Godiva chocolates stashed away to be indulged in when you're home alone. I told my daughter this a few months ago and she groaned, "Aaaahhh." This is my big secret: I have been a HUGE fan of "The Young and the Restless" since the very first day it started, back in 1973. I was home from work that week because my daughter had the chicken pox and couldn't be in day care. So while she slept I took in this new soap opera that had been hyped for weeks. One character, Katherine Chancellor, has been there since the first year and she is now 80 years old. She has been played by Jeanne Cooper for the entire 36 years. A normal person would never have lived to be 80 if they had endured everything she has over the years. This "daytime drama" as they are called now, has been the BEST blend of sex, alcoholism, murders, love-hate relationships, power, amnesia (which seems to be a common theme in soap operas)etc., etc.
So the secret is out. I don't care. I love it.
And I'm naming this bracelet "Katherine" in honor of dear "Mrs. C" as she is sometimes called on the show.
