    GLITTER! I love that stuff. Yay. It really makes me happy 😀 But yeah, it is everywhere when you create something with it. But hey! – that’s actually kind of wonderful. In that way we create a glitter-coated world, and the world would surely be wonderful if it was glitter-coated 😉
    These charms are super cute!
