Happy Face

"I woke up this morning. The sunshine was shining. I put on a happy face. I'm living. I'm able. I'm breathing. I'm grateful to put on a happy face."

Name that tune!

If you answered "Happy Face" by Destiny's Child, you are correct.


I've been inspired by music lately, especially songs that I like to sing out loud. So hit play on the YouTube video and sing with me!

So here's my Happy Face necklace.


I made this just for fun. I'm not sure if I want to post this for sale or if I want to keep it for myself. I guess I can always make another one, but I'm one of those artists who does not like to duplicate their work. Maybe there's a Happy Face remix coming soon.

Anyway, just want to share. I hope I made all my readers smile by posting this. I was smiling the whole time I was making this. So put on your happy face and have a wonderful day!

"Enjoy" Necklace

I've been a fan of Janet Jackson since she was "Nasty." I was on one of my jewelry making tantrums and just started singing her song "Enjoy." Have you heard it? It goes something like this:

"I just enjoy and celebrate
Enjoy the love we make
Enjoy, appreciate
Enjoy
Just keep on doing it
'Til my hearts content
And enjoy when someone smiles
Enjoy
So just enjoy the simple things
Enjoy the day life brings
Enjoy the song love sings
Enjoy
Just keep on doing it
'Til your hearts content
And enjoy the gift of life
Enjoy"

It's a great song on her "20 Years Old" album. Listen here if you've never heard it.



I was digging through my scrapbook materials and found an "Enjoy" chipboard circle and decided to make a necklace out of it. I put the "Enjoy" cirlce on top of a larger paper pendant to give it a pop-up look so it would make you want to have a second look and sing Janet's song one more time. Then I put her song on repeat (either on the iPod or in my head) while I made the matching paper beads. And here it is. My "Enjoy" necklace!



This was made in the same way I did my purple scrapbook paper necklace, so go read that blog for a bit more detail on how I made the pendant and paper beads.

I hope you have enjoyed reading about my "Enjoy" necklace and that you will enjoy my other jewelry projects shown on my website at http://www.ojunejewelry.com.

Enjoy your day!

Till next time,
