Mum's birthday earrings

Just a quick post to show off the earrings and gift box I have made for my Mum's birthday tomorrow. Most of the bead and stuff I had lying around although I must confess to buying a few more beads. I really enjoy bead work but I really must not get into it in a big way - I don't have the time to do the other crafts that I have stash for, let alone starting another!

However I made the box from a template that came free with a magazine the my friend subscribed to for me so I needed something to go in it. And that's my excuse!
