Sweet Adeleine

First off, I am sorry for not having a post last Monday. We have been busy this week, and it got lost along the way. I also know this post is not on a normal day, but I figured a late post is better than no post at all!

If you missed the past posts I have about some other jewelry I made, feel free to look at them  here and here .
