I recently discovered a new Smarty product: Pink Water Pearls. I loved this product so much, I had to buy them in a few colors (purple, orange & apple green). I used the water pearls as one of my recent DIY projects for an engagement party. I couldn’t believe how elegant & polished the pearls looked [...]
