What can I get the family for Christmas?

Now that the year draws to a close it is time to think of some Christmas gifts for the family.
What can I get for the family for Christmas is a good question. There are thousands of ideas out there in all shapes and sizes from boys toys to girls playthings. There are your traditional gifts and then you have your weird and wonderful gifts.
For something affordable and traditional we have a small selection of Christmas gifts at our online store at justbyjulie. There is also a wide selection of greeting cards not just for Christmas but for all occasions because let us not forget that people still celebrate other things other than Christmas.
If you cannot find what you are looking for on justbyjulie then follow the links to one of the other sites that we recommend where I am sure you will find something that you want.
Have a really festive time this year and enjoy yourselves this Christmas.

Handmade Semi Precious Stone Jewellery

I love making Silver jewellery using semi precious stone beads. I started making jewellery several years ago to sell at local school fates and craft fares. I have now taken this a stage further and set up a website where I have listed some of the semi precious stone jewellery. I will be adding to this all the time.

My favourite stone to work with is Amethyst as I like the rich purple colour. I also enjoy working with Blue Goldstone which has a deep rich blue colour with flecks of gold hence it's name. Another interesting stone is the Ukanite this stone is a pale green and orange and makes for an interesting piece of jewellery. A have found that a favourite of a lot of people is Tiger Eye with it's rich browns this can make some interesting pieces of jewellery.

For special pieces of jewellery I like to use Austrian Crystal as this has the same affect as Diamonds. When the crystal is caught in the light you get cascades of light reflected all around to make the piece quite stunning.
