Let's see how long it lasts ;)<br /><br />Mars xxMarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07211092166880573199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835147532569240962.post-58399899949065210272015-01-02T15:43:40.254+00:002015-01-02T15:43:40.254+00:00I love your Karma bracelet!

I hope you get your last 2 beads soon and can wear the full creation.<br />Also seems like there is always some promo going on somewhere to tempt us with buying more beads. :)Enaktrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17856117502452259920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835147532569240962.post-9178972470220483372015-01-01T13:10:16.297+00:002015-01-01T13:10:16.297+00:00Thanks Tracy! Yep you've guessed correctly, a...Thanks Tracy! Yep you've guessed correctly, another matte textured bead and a silver... as I'm doing this all online (chasing the discounts) I'm doing a bit of guess work on how many I need so was hoping that only two more are needed ;)<br /><br />I think you've captured the essence of Karma, you do get a lot of "oomph" in a small space, the bracelet is quite delicate compared to my Troll creations, but still packs a punch. The only drawback is that some of the details get a lot more lost with the naked eye than with a camera, but that doesn't make them any less good! Also this might the *age* of my eyes too... trots off to ask a 20yr old...<br /><br />I am seriously considering whether to effect a ban on jewellery buying in January (bar a few exceptions, I still have 1 more navy galaxy to find etc) - there are so many collections having their debut in January that I could seriously spend a ton, but I'm wondering if some retrospective buying is more in order? Haven't made up my mind fully and still contemplating my New Year's Bead Resolutions for 2015 so watch this space.<br /><br />Ohm was almost my last budget buster, I ended up not buying any of the LE Christmas beads because I wanted 5 seriously and couldn't get just 1! I have 3 Troll bangles and do contemplate selling 1 of them from time to time, but I love the convenience of having 3 and I did pay a good dicounted price on my 2 extra ones so figure they are still a great investment!<br /><br />I like my Karma bracelet, am interested to see where this path leads me in 2015 :)<br /><br />Mars xxMarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07211092166880573199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835147532569240962.post-17741059835770250982014-12-31T17:46:04.778+00:002014-12-31T17:46:04.778+00:00I love your bracelet!

Karma seems to have great texture on their beads, so you get a lot of "oomph" in a small space :) My wallet cringes every time I see a Karma bracelet :D Can't wait to see what your last beads will be. Based on the design as it is, I assume another matte textured bead and a silver?<br /><br />I think my last budget buster was the five Ohm beads I ordered in the summer. I'd had a few on my wishlist for a while, but then the bacon bead came out and the dam broke. Of course I love all the beads that I got, so definitely not a regretted purchase. But not exactly planned at the time ;)<br /><br />My last temptation was the TB bangle promo this month. I had it all in my cart and was going through the checkout when I stopped myself. I want a second bangle, but planned on getting it next year. But then I figured that I was silly not to get the promo with the free stoppers and glass bead. But, when I added it all up with tax (or the exchange rate of ordering from the U.S.) it wasn't really as great a deal for me.<br /><br />This bracelet is really so lovely though. I may have another temptation soon! (Between that and Story, this may be really quite bad for my wallet! :D)Tracyhttp://www.blackbootslonglegs.comnoreply@blogger.com
