I went to my Mom's last weekend and we worked two nights on some new earrings. These are three of the pair I came home with:
I wrapped wire around these yellowish brown square beads and hung a sliver loop on the bottom. 
These snowmen turned out SO cute! Two pearls with a red bead between. Then on top a black sequin and a black bead. So simple! Wish we'd get some real snow so I could wear them in it.
I had been wanting a cool pair of turquoise earrings, so I put together two beads in different shades of turquoise and love the way they turned out.
