My hubby is going home to see his family so I am making a christmas chainmaille bracelet for his sister. He will carry it with him. It should go with the one I made for his mom last year. He actually went with me to the bead store and picked out all the charms, the colors and the design. I guess HE deserves to be the one entering : )
