Hi! Am I being big-headed by terming my link party directory 'Ultimate'? I'm pretty proud of it.

Parties in my directory are listed by name, by day, alphabetically and with the name(s) of each the host(s) in bullet points under the party name.

I was going through my craft stuff and saw a bag of small seashells. I love a good (bad) pun so this is the perfect project to showcase one :-).

Years ago, I came across a DIY washer necklace tutorial at Chic Steals. Great blog with fantastic ideas! I knew I had to make one. As nice as they are for necklaces, they work even better as hair accessories!
