Make Photo Jewelry with Shrinky Dink!


I'm embarrassed to see how long it's been since I posted on this blog!  My excuses are many, but none really work when I see the length of time...however, my little company  has been so busy that I haven't had time to do much of anything else but make jewelry!  That's a good thing, but I have had to neglect my other passions, like blogging, cooking, reading, and hanging out with my girlfriends :(.
So Aunt Peg's Jewelry will be cutting back on the number of events I participate in, and taking things a little slower so that I can enjoy more time with my family, and get back to some of the other fun things in my life!

I admit that I've developed a BIG Pinterest addiction, I am in love with the huge amount of creative crafts, helpful hints and tips, the awesome recipes, clothing styles, funny cartoons and quips, and just everything I find on there!
So, this being said, here is one of the great tutorials I found via Pinterest. A fabulous, simple tutorial on turning your photo's or favorite images into Shrinky Dink jewelry!

The site of this awesome tutorial is called Photojojo, and the tute was found in their newsletter:
