Wednesday Wonder- OWOH pressie

I wonder how big the magnifying glass is that Amber Dawn works with?
I got this pressie from OWOH 2011 also, it came later because it was custom-made for me, see there is my name.
If you look at the picture without any other pieces or fingers or ruler there, it looks as if it might 2" in diameter. So much detail.

The only thing that really gives away the size is the jump ring, but not really.

With a penny, now you can see it.

It covers the penny. It is smaller though.
Amber Dawn has a blog Inventive Soul here http://www.inventivesoul.blogspot.com/

So small.
She also has a wonderful Flickr site here http://www.flickr.com/photos/inventivesouls/

The jump ring looks huge here compared to the charm.
Amber Dawn also hosts International Charm day here http://www.internationalcharmday.blogspot.com/

It came like this, in a 1" button cover. It doesn't fill it up.

I wonder!
Now you know why this, to me, qualifies as a Wednesday Wonder.
Thank you Amber Dawn, this amazes me and I adore it!
I had to take pictures so I could see it ;-D

The other blogger and pressie from the One world one heart event

OK. Last, but in no way least, is the bead I won from Pam Brisse from The Blue Between. or http://www.bluebetween.com/
I adore this little guy. A sweet birdie glass bead. The hole runs vertically through the bead so this is going to make a wonderful focal bead.
he was wrapped sweetly in tissue, tied with a bow, and came with a Pam card, saying "Happy OWOH".

Pam has a blog too you can go here or here http://bluebetween.blogspot.com/
Pam talks about her beads and jewelry, her gluten free life (I love this part), and her family.
A great blog, she is funny and the look of the blog is bright and breezy like the beach on a just right sunny afternoon.

I am really enjoying the recipes she is posting. Going to go back there again and again.
I think the gluten free Lemon Bars are calling my name, OUT LOUD!

She likes Udi's pizza crusts, they are the best I have ever tasted so far for gluten free. It is not gluten laden thick and fluffy crust like Bruno's in San Marcos, California, but it is good, especially when you are professed pizza-a-holic on a gluten free diet.
If you live down my way, you can eat gluten, and you are in San Marcos, go to Bruno's and try the olive oil and garlic pizza, it makes me cry it is so good!
I can make a pretty close imitation at home on the Udi's pizza crust.

Pam also has an Etsy store here or here http://www.etsy.com/shop/bluebetween.

Because of Pam's work, her sunny attitude, and her gluten free diet, I will be visiting her again.  
And you should just go visit, too!!

Thank you Pam! I adore this little bird bead you have made with your own two hands and I will treasure it forever.

The next Blogger and pressie from OWOH

This is the next pressie I got from One World One Hope, see the first one from Kim at Queen of Arts studio here.
Gloria from Gloria's wooden bangle shoppe picked me in her draw for OWOH, Yay!! Lucky me, again. It came in a cellophane bag with her card stapled at the top, no picture of that bag, I ripped that baby open.

Gloria painted the wooden bangle with a sparkly brown paint inside and out. Then she added the orangey colors and the yellow. It is perfect for me, I love these colors. It reminds me of fall trees and it is gorgeous.
She also signed it too.

It came with this pendant, also done the same way as the bangle. They are both very light weight and comfortable to wear.
You can find Gloria at Viva La Vida or here http://glorv1.blogspot.com/
Gloria is a wonderful woman who I have known on the blogs for a while, she is always a sweet woman when she comments and she loves Frida Kahlo, you can find quotes from Frida there on her blog...

"They are so damn 'intellectual' and rotten that I can't stand them anymore....I [would] rather sit on the floor in the market of Toluca and sell tortillas, than have anything to do with those 'artistic' bitches of Paris."

One of my favorites ;-D

Gloria also has recipes galore, yummy stuff. An excellent resource this. She is a member of Hispanic Kitchen. She also has links to other's blogs with food on them all the way at the bottom.

Gloria also has another blog, her bangle blog.
Gloria's Wooden Bangle shoppe- Bangles A go-go where she sells her bangles and some just like the one I got for wonderful prices and there are many many different designs that she can do.
Or here http://glorv1spaintedwoodenbracelets.blogspot.com/

Here is a nice picture of the both together. The pendant also came on a beautiful silk cord that buttons off and on. Simple and uncomplicated, but so beautiful and wearable. I love that too!

Thank you so so much Gloria, these both are lovely pieces and the perfect colors for me and I love them.

Go visit Gloria and see what her life has to offer, it is rich and it is full and you will be glad you did.
