Went to our little spirit shop and picked me up a couple things to begin a bracelt I have had running thru my head for a long time.

An 'intent' braclet. Be it to remind you of something, or like a 'to go' ritual reminder.

Picked me up a small pent, for what it represnets adn reminds me, a little chalice, for the healing of water, and a bear totem with a 'thinder bolt' on him, for introspection, and to remind me to be my own natural healer. Also got a garnet bracelt to take apart and thread onto a finding, along with a tanzenite bead. Rev Kat brought it to my attention.  Might also add a couple of extra gypsy bells for air, and the little moon/star charm as well.

Also got me a chakra chip bracelt to help get me lined up again. Might figure out some other little goodies to try and find for it.

A growing project, subject to multiple changes! (the bracelet, not me!Then again, lol)

Went to WalMart today to find me a couple things for my bracelet and found a few more charms. A little blue enamel teapot to remind me to stop and enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Some small silverdragonfly beads, transformation, to use with the stones, I think. Also found some words, Hope, Believe, Love, Peace, and Dream. Still need to find a small key, and a music note, or drum.

I have an old broken necklace, a multilink spiral, that I'm going to cut to length and put closures on, and make that the base. Too many little things to put on a simple link bracelet I think.

This sounds like a great creation.  Imagine the personal power it will have when you have finished it.  Will you post a photo when you are finished?  It might give us all some inspiration.

I have a charm bracelet that I've had since I was about 2.  I've added a little to it as the years have gone by.  It isn't full, by any means, mainly because I took a lot of the charms off to play with them when I was a child.  But, there are still some that remind me of great things about myself because of "where" I've come from.  I think I will take it out and wear it to school tomorrow.  It always gets people talking, and then I can tell stories.  

As soon as I get it underway I'll post, sure.

Charm bracelets are cool for the simple fact you put things on them that are meaningful to you. It makes a very personal statement.

I've had an idea for sometime rattling around in my head, and this is just finally getting it out of my head and into reality. I have alot of things like that!  

ok I actually did it!!!

ok this 1/2 has: 2 gypsy bells, thunder bear, teapot, actual 24 carat goldplated sand dollar, believe with austiran crystal and dragonflybeads, carved stone fish, star/moon with heart bead, and garnet, flowers, and tanzanite beads with silver ball.

and this 1/2 has: (you already know the first two from being the last two on the other piccie, lol) the little silver chalice, or chalise if you prefer, lol, dream with austrian crystal and flower beads, a little gold heart, 2 more gypsy beads, and lastly, but never leastly, my itty bitty pent.

not to shabby if I do say so myself for a first timer!  

I say you did very well, Novia.  

OOH!  That's purtiful, Novia!  And it looks like it packs a wollop!

it did bite a bit at first
