The Vampire Diaries

At Christmas time my brother, Eddy, and my sister, Izzy, got me a bead made of lapis lazuli. 

Being the geek I am, I watch The Vampire Diaries. I also read the first book but didn't love it. I mostly just love how gorgeous Stefan Salvatore is. But I have always loved vampires (more Buffy than Twilight). 

In the Vampire Diaries universe, lapis lazuli is what the vampires wear so they can walk in the sun. So... this week I made myself a necklace using my bead. 

 It also doubles as a bracelet!

Now I can go out in the sun! :)
