A couple of years ago, we took a trip to Galveston Island where we fell in love with the beach. Like every other family who has ever visited a beach, we collected approximately 8,326 pounds of sea shells. Among those shells were these teensy, tiny little shells that had a slight little hole in them. As we sat on our balcony sorting the shells, we decided that we could make earrings and necklaces and bracelets as souvenirs for our friends. We had never made bracelets or necklaces or any other jewelry of any kind. But how hard could it be?
