It's Holy Saturday and our daughter is visiting for the weekend. I ask her to help me match up bead combinations with the new yarn colors I recently purchased. New younger eyes can come up with very different combinations that can prove to be very appealing and popular so I like ot get her help whenever I can. She's sitting on our family room floor easily matching beads and yarn. All of a sudden she gets very excited and asks if I have any red yarn.
She has come across a package of red, iridescent, and blue beads which I had purchased last year but hadn't done anything with. She asked me to use those beads with bright red yarn to make a patriotic 23" necklet which she posts to Facebook. Within a few minutes she had sold 3, by the following morning she had sold 10.
What was the attraction? Our daughter belongs to Team Red, White and Blue. What is Team Red, White and Blue? Team RWB is an organization that helps #veterans reconnect with their #community through social and physical activities. Team RWB is open to all veterans, active duty, guard and reserve, and civilians and is free to join. To find out more and to join the team, visit www.teamrwb.org/get-involved/join-the-team
After she wrapped the 23" necklet around her wrist we discussed how this necklet could help veterans. We decided to donate $1.00 for every patriotic slip on bracelet sold, and $2.00 for every patriotic necklet sold. Team RWB members are very loyal and always looking for new ways to show their patriotism and help the organization. Hence the enthusiasm and number of sales!
How can you get involved, show your patriotism, and help veterans? Simply click on the link below these photos and order your patriotic single bracelet, 23", or 32" necklet. Cruisin' Creations will ship your order within a day and will donate to Team RWB!

For Mom and Grandma
Mom and Grandma have done so much for us over the years so we like to show them how much we appreciate them on Mother's Day. Flowers, candles, and another pair of earrings are nice but why not do something different this year and give Mom and Grandma a Cruisin' Creation?
Our mother's necklaces and bracelets are custom made to your specifications with Swarovski crystals and soft white nylon yarn. Order one in her birthstone, your birthstone, her favorite color, or the birthstones of all of her children or grandchildren. Pictured are a Mother's necklace and bracelet with June, August, and October birthstones.
Don't delay! Mother's Day is just a couple of weeks away! Click on the link below each photo to order your custom Mother's necklace or bracelet today!
