Suburban Girl Design Team ~ Summertime

 

An Ode to Diana and Jan

I was asked months ago to be part of her design team,

Diana, the Suburban Girl, she really made me beam!

She sends us some beads then it's all up to us,

We must design something pretty or she will throw us under the bus!

We also receive a nice little treat

From Jan Onipenco, I can't wait for us to meet.

For the summer season you can probably guess,

It's a "beachy" type theme. I was thrilled and yelled, "Oh yes!"

                     

This is Jan's bead so neat and pristine

It reminds me of the ocean swirling with sand, blue and green.

These two beauties are from cheery Diana P.

They look so darn real as if picked from the sea.

I picked them up and held them tight,

My creative side stirred both day and night.

My mind was whirling with thoughts of the beach,

And all that it gathers when it is at reach.


There's the ocean itself never ending it's flow,
It's swirling and stirring, oh I wish I could go.

There are critters and creatures usually abound,

Turtles, seahorses and shells to be found.

             

 

There are flowers around and colors just swirl

Coral and starfish all in a whirl.

                 

You might catch a glimpse of this ribbity critter,

Don't give him to me or I will become very bitter.

One special charm I knew I should add,

Was a heart for the love of the ocean I've had.

Some days the ocean may seem like this

Things jumbled up and not much of bliss.

But once stretched out and picked apart

The ocean and beach have things close to my heart.

I love the sea and all that it brings

A tingle to my soul and my heart just sings.

Another fondness I hold close to me

Is the joy of making jewelry.

It's friends like Jan and Diana P.

That make life joyous, filled with creativity.

Thank you Diana for making me beam

For inviting me to be part of this team!

Please take a look at the other members of the design team and their creations...
