Twins & Charm Bracelets...oh my!

This last weekend I visited a whole bunch of my favorite people in San Diego; the Zimlich clan...(and yes Veronica, I really am a part of the family! They told me so when I was in the family Christmas photo at Nana's a few years back ;-P )...
Anyhoo, my good friend, Rhonda, her hubby, Dave, and their 4 year old twins, Veronica and Gabriella, were visiting the rest of the "National Lampoon's extended family" for the girls' 4th birthday last week. So, I headed to San Diego with 2 very special gifts on hand...special charm bracelets for little wrists!
Veronica's bracelet:
They are actually Scrabble and Travel Scrabble tiles! Perfect for initials!
I'm thinking that I'll do custom orders on Etsy! These were a hit!

A twins moment...Here they are in onesies I made them when they were tiny (oh wait...they weren't tiny at 8 pounds each when born!), but were still adorable as hell!
And here they are now!

Way too long...

A lot has happened in my life and craft world in the last 4 months or so...
I became an auntie again at the end of April to Ameenah Jane Huntoon:
She is a beautiful girl and I look forward to spending more time with her in the future!

As for crafting, my friend Missybug, taught me to make domino and scrabble tile pendants and charms! It's a new obsession and I'm off and running... (pics to come soon!) I'm also making jewelry out of old 80s charms like cowboy boots and guns...I've got a great pair of guns dangling from my ears as we speak!!! Anyhoo...I'm looking to set up an etsy site real soon to sell multiple jewelry types and custom orders, earring frames, and possibly the ring pincushions that I posted previously. I'm toying with the name, Auntie Em's Wicked Designs... My friend, Pete, suggested the name following in the whole Auntie Em Wizard of Oz theme. So, I've got some rough ideas of business cards, website banners and such using this vintage photo of my grandma and a fairly new shot of myself...Remember it's still REALLY rough...Keep ya all posted on an etsy site and my newest creations!!!
