The Jenny Monthly Challenge - October Reveal

October has been a little... crazy... around here.

Seriously, it is welcome to calm down aaaaany minute now.

Ah well. Despite the craziness, I was able to finish my Jenny Monthly Challenge for this month--and now it's time to show pictures! As a refresher, this was the kit...

A Tim Holtz key, some lampwork beads by Juli Cannon, some Chinese crystals--
a beautiful mix, just waiting to make something wonderful!

...And this is what I made!

Ta-da!

For this necklace, I included everything from the original kit except the thick silver chain, which I substituted out for something a little thinner. Otherwise, everything wouldn't have fit through the bail.

And now for some glamour shots! 

(Also known as me being thrilled that my computer seems to be working again... hurray for being able to upload pictures!!)

I absolutely love the purples in this necklace... Although they don't quite photograph true to shade, they are all beautiful hues of lavender.

  

So, that is the necklace that I made for my October Monthly Challenge--and, more importantly, that I made to commemorate all of the hard work my husband and I have been pouring into our dreams.

Now, I mentioned that October has been crazy. From this vantage point, November isn't going to lose any of that momentum. At this rate, I'm going to have two challenges set for November... We'll just have to see how they pan out!

Thank you for stopping by my blog to see my Monthly Challenge reveal... I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
