Sparkle Challenge - Becky Fairclough

FHFteam are running a Seasonal Sparkle Challenge right now and here is a beautiful sparkly listing from Becky Fairclough.

Becky Says:
Christmas for me is a very sparkly time of year, I love decorating the tree with lots of tinsel and angel hair and baubles. I love to have jewellery that is sparkly for Christmas but I wanted to make something wearable all year round and so I choose to make one of my ranges of beads as cabochons and turn them into little stud earrings.
