    Wonderful Girls Day

    We attended a girls day out with three generations of friendship being celebrated and had a wonderful time making bracelets and sharing laughs.

    Making bracelets

    Me and 2 friends were in Nashville for a conference and came across ads on Facebook to make bracelets. We all wanted to make one. Making the appoint was easy with plenty of appointments times available for the day we wanted. All the ladies were welcoming and helpful. We had a hard time choosing which beads we wanted and she was very patient and helpful helping us to decide. It was a great experience and I would definitely go back to make another one.
