jewelery roll

so i have wanted a jewelry roll for when i travel for the longest time, but have never found just what i wanted in the stores.  all my dangly earings get tangled, along with necklaces, not fun to untangle.  so i finally made my own for a trip i took to arizona over thanksgiving.  it worked great!!!  this in the smaller version that i made since i knew i woundnt be wearing that much jewelery.  pockets for everything & a flap that covers the top to keep everything in when i roll and close with the elastic strap. now back to all those christmas gifts i need to make........

suitcase

most people have a black suitcase.  that is about the only color they used to make i think.  nice but it can make it hard to find yours at baggage claim, unless you have a bright object tied to it.  while on a trip last year, i saw someone elses suitcase and thought 'i can do that so easy'  they had painted a design on it (flowers i think) so with two trips of my own pending this year i decided it was time to actually do it. 

made it much easier to see my suitcase.  got a bit scratched up but what can you expect when they just throw them all over the place.  (oh and my trips were lots of fun)
