Spotlight on Summer Cameos and Charms for DIY Jewelry Making

Summer is a time of beach days, popsicles, picnics, and all sorts of outdoor fun. It's when the kids splash around in the pool and parents lounge under the cabana. It's when neighbors gather for BBQs and friends greet each other on walks.
