In case of emergency - Fly Kites...

 I watched the colorful dogs, cats, bears, fishes, giant octopus, ships, dragons and many other objects and animals flew at the Berkeley Kite Fesival this last Sunday. The giant octopi were the most spectacular ones in the sky that are 20 feet wide and nearly 100 feet long. There were 22 flying...  It was magical. I had great time; but, my nephew and his excitement made it so much more fun.

Flying kites has always takes me back to my childhood so, I am glad that I had a chance to go to this festival. I remember the one time me and my family attempted to make and fly a kite when I was young.

Have you ever tried making one? If you have kids, have you flied kites with them? Isn't that so much fun?

I have also find super cute tutorials for you to try out on your own or with kids...

Black Onyx Necklace Jewelry

Black onyx jewelry is a bold and sleek way to accessorize your outfits in any season. Black jewelry is always fashionable. This onyx black necklace features a simple; yet, sophisticated design with jet black onyx beads, finished with sterling silver oxidized chain.

Black Onyx Necklace

   Onyx beads are believed to release negative emotions like unhappiness, and sorrow. It has protective energies.
Who wouldn't want that? :)

I got the inspiration for this necklace from the Mayan Ruins in Mexico. The untouched beauty and history of the stones in Chicken-Itza was fascinating. This uncut, oriental beads are very different then the other gemstone beaded jewelry you will see, as it is not polished, dyed or carved.
