- Comes with everything you need to get started ? even ribbon, ?and pre-cut fabric circles for the snap machine.

Our Experience with Snap Fashion Jewelry Studio
My girls were so excited to get crafty with this kit. ?My kiddos are 4 1/2 and 9 1/2. ?I was concerned that the kit might be too advanced for my little one since it ?is advertised for ages 7 and up. ?After one time of my showing her how to use the snap machine, however, she was able to make a Snap Fashion ring completely by herself! ?Clearly, her creations are a bit on the more simple side, but she sure has had a blast creating and wearing them.
My older daughter, Alyssa, was impressed with the kit as well. ?Her finished pieces had a bit more flair to them. ?She spent quite a bit of time looking over all of the ideas in the ?how to? book. ?She?s a nature girl, so the nature-inspired ?jewelry pieces caught her eye.
We all love how versatile the jewelry pieces are. ?Because of how the finished fabric domes snap into different bases, a design you make can go from bracelet to ring to hair bob in seconds! ?Way cool in our book! ?Another neat feature is that the base and dome have a little space in between them when snapped together. So?inside of your creation, you could place a tiny photo, some sand from a special vacation, a special note to a BFF, what ever you can dream up.

BASKETBALL: UW's Ross decides to enter NBA draft
SEATTLE Washington guard Terrence Ross has decided to enter the NBA draft.
Ross averaged a team-high 16.4 points this season as Washington won the Pac-12 regular-season title and made it to the NIT semifinals. The 6-foot-6 Ross was the only player on the team to reach 30 points, accomplishing the feat twice, and had nine games of 20-plus points.
Ross averaged 25 points in four games in the NIT before a 68-67 overtime loss to Minnesota ended the Huskies' season.
Washington announced Ross' decision on Sunday. The school said on its men's basketball Twitter feed that Ross plans to hire an agent.

SEATTLE ? Terrence Ross overcame an awful first half of shooting to score 26 of his career-high 30 points in the second half, Darnell Gant added 10 of his 13 during Washington?s decisive second-half run, and the Huskies rallied from 10 points down in the second half to beat rival Washington State 75-65 on Sunday night.
Ross was the catalyst behind the Huskies? 26-6 run that erased a 47-37 deficit with 12:16 left and gave Washington (11-6, 4-1 Pac-12) its biggest lead at 63-53 on Ross? fifth 3-pointer of the night with 5:15 remaining.
Ross scored eight points during the run, and then for good measure added a step-back 3-pointer and an alley-oop dunk three-point play to give the Huskies an 11-point lead with 3:09 left.

Washington trailed California by three points with 8.5 seconds remaining in a game between Pac-12 heavyweights that carried first-place implications.
Ross, the Huskies' streaky sophomore guard, fought off another first-half malaise and caught fire in the final minutes. He drained two three-pointers in the final 97 seconds to help the Huskies chip away at Cal's 13-point second-half lead.

Passenger lands plane with Wis. pilot unconscious
STURGEON BAY, Wis. (AP) ? An 80-year-old woman was able to successfully land a twin-engine airplane in northeastern Wisconsin after her husband became unconscious at the controls and died.
Door County Sheriff Terry Vogel says the dispatch center was told just after 5 p.m. Monday that a Cessna about 6 miles south of Sturgeon Bay had declared an emergency.
The pilot, an 81-year-old man from the Sturgeon Bay area, had suffered a medical emergency and was unconscious. His wife, who was the passenger, was flying the plane.
A certified pilot was able to fly alongside the plane and coach the wife. Just after 6 p.m., her right engine ran out of fuel and lost power.
She was able to land at Door County Cherryland Airport. The wife suffered minor injuries. Her husband was pronounced dead.

Kentucky off to title game, beats Louisville 69-61
NEW ORLEANS (AP) ? Bragging rights in the Bluegrass State are mighty nice.
Kentucky has its sights set higher.
Much higher.
Anthony Davis and top-seeded Kentucky are right where they planned to be all along, playing for the national title after finally putting away pesky Louisville 69-61 in the Final Four on Saturday night.
"I have a team that's had teams come at them all year," coach John Calipari said, "and they responded again today."
It will be Kentucky's first appearance in the title game since winning a seventh NCAA crown back in 1998 and it gives Calipari another shot at the championship that has eluded him. The Wildcats (37-2) will face No. 2 seed Kansas, a 64-62 winner over Ohio State in the second semifinal.
After the game, thousands of fans swarmed into the streets near the University of Kentucky campus, overturning cars and lighting couches ablaze. Riot police used pepper spray and 150 officers deployed on the streets at one point to quell what Lexington police spokeswoman Sherelle Roberts called "a very dangerous situation with the fires and the violence" that dragged on for hours.
Lexington City spokeswoman Susan Straub said police made fewer than 10 arrests, and a few injuries were reported.
As the final seconds ticked down in New Orleans, Davis pointed to the court and screamed twice, "This is my stage!"
Yes, yes, it is.
With a star-studded roster that includes at least three, maybe as many as five NBA lottery picks, Kentucky was the top seed in the tournament and the heavy favorite to cut down the nets when the whole tournament was done. And Calipari wouldn't let his young players consider anything else, saying repeatedly this was "just another game."
But playing in-state rival Louisville (30-10) is never just that, and the Cardinals made Kentucky work deep into the second half to grind this victory out.
Louisville outrebounded Kentucky 40-33, including a whopping 19-6 advantage on the offensive glass ? the sole reason the Cardinals were able to make a game of this.
"To tell you the truth, I haven't always liked some of the Kentucky teams. I'm not going to lie to you," said Louisville coach Rick Pitino, who counts as something of an expert after spending eight years in Lexington and the last 11 with the Cardinals. "But I really like this team a lot because of their attitude and the way they play.
"I'll certainly be rooting for them hard to bring the trophy back to Kentucky. ... They're a great group of guys, doing a tremendous job."
So tremendous it led to a thawing, however briefly, in the frosty relationship between Calipari and Pitino. When the two shook hands after the game, Pitino congratulated Calipari and told him he'd be rooting for the Wildcats on Monday night.
"I think that's neat," Calipari said. "When I was at UMass, I can remember hugging him and telling him, 'I'm happy for you and I really want you to win the national title.' He did the same to me tonight, so I think it's kind of neat."
Calipari had taken another phenom-laden roster to the Final Four last year, only to see them come unglued against eventual national champion Connecticut. The Wildcats said all week they weren't going to let the same thing happen this time, and it showed in their workmanlike effort. No matter how close Louisville got, the Cardinals were never able to control the game. When they made a run, Kentucky found a way to stop it. When one of the Wildcats ran into foul trouble, the others picked him up.
Kentucky played so hard Davis went flying off the court twice, sailing all the way onto media row once.
"They made runs, and we made our runs. That's what coach always says," said Terrence Jones, who finished with six points and seven rebounds. "We never get rattled."
Bigger, bulkier and with Davis having a wider wingspan than some small airplanes, the Wildcats looked like playground bullies as they pushed Louisville around on their way to a 13-point lead early in the second half. But the Cardinals know a thing about rallies after coming from 11 points down to beat Florida in last weekend's West Regional final, and they sure made Kentucky sweat.
Russ Smith made back-to-back buckets to start a 15-3 run, and Peyton Siva capped it with a 3-pointer from NBA range that tied the game at 49 with 9:11 to play. But Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who played just 23 minutes because of foul trouble, made back-to-back buckets to give the Wildcats some breathing room.
After Siva made a pair of free throws, Jones scored on a jumper and Darius Miller drilled a 3 ? only Kentucky's second of the game ? to give the Wildcats control for good.
"They were the better team today," Siva said.
Just to make sure Louisville didn't get any wild notions about another late comeback, Kidd-Gilchrist threw down a monstrous dunk with 1:05 to play that had Kentucky fans on their feet and assistant coaches from Kansas and Ohio State scrambling to try and find a way to stop this juggernaut.
Kentucky shot a dazzling 57 percent ? yes, that's right ? with Davis leading the way. He missed just one of his eight shots and finished with 18 points and 14 rebounds, and let his play speak for itself, not showing any emotion until those closing seconds of the game.
"Anthony Davis is just the No.1 player in the draft," Pitino said of the 19-year-old freshman, who has won just about every player of the year award there is. "When you're playing against Bill Russell on the pro level, you realize why the Celtics won 11 world championships."
Miller added 13 points, and Doron Lamb had 10. Kidd-Gilchrist had nine, all in the second half.
Siva led the Cardinals with 11 points, and Gorgui Dieng had 12 rebounds.
"I told the guys, 'Look, I'm going to Miami tomorrow and celebrating a season where we worked around the clock, around injuries and everything else. If you guys don't celebrate and have good, clean fun, you're fools,'" Pitino said.
The Kentucky-Louisville rivalry causes tempers to flare even in December when, in the grand scheme of things, games really don't mean much. Heck, it took government intervention just to get the two schools to play on a regular basis back in the 1980s.
With the NCAA title game on the line, the latest skirmish in basketball's version of the civil war so divided the small hoop-crazed state that senior citizens actually came to fisticuffs. But boy, did it make for a great show. The game was such a big deal that No. 1 Kentucky fan Ashley Judd wasn't even the biggest celeb in the house, with Jay-Z taking a prime seat behind the Kentucky bench.
"It's our fans; our fans are great to us," Davis said. "Our fans travel a long way. We want to go out here and give them a show and give them what they want, which is a national championship."
The ultimate bragging rights sure are a nice way to start.
Kentucky is 19-11 since the teams resumed playing in 1983-84, with the Wildcats winning four straight, including a 69-62 victory at Rupp Arena on Dec. 31 ? almost the exact score as Saturday night's win.
The Wildcats know they're talented ? there are three, maybe as many as five NBA lottery picks on the Kentucky roster ? but they play without ego or cockiness, choosing instead to let their superior play overwhelm their opponents.
The Cardinals had skidded into the Big East tournament with four losses in their last six games, including back-to-back defeats to end the regular season. Pitino told his players they could either go home after the first week of the tournament or they could do something special ? their choice.
The Cardinals chose the latter, ripping off four wins in four days to win the Big East tournament and ousting No. 1 seed Michigan State in the West Regional semifinals. Then came that comeback against rough-and-tumble Florida.
Those games hardened the Cardinals, and they promised they weren't simply happy to reach the Final Four. But they sure looked it early on, getting off to a slow, sloppy start. It didn't help that Dieng looked petrified of Davis and Siva was playing at hyperspeed, a pace Pitino has been trying to get him to tone down all year.
When they tried to go inside, Davis was less forgiving than a bouncer at a Hollywood club. When the Cardinals went outside, the Wildcats swarmed and forced them to take off-balance shots. Meanwhile, on the other end, Kentucky scored at will, repeatedly picking on Siva and Dieng.
But there's a reason Pitino has taken three teams to the Final Four. He pulled out every trick he had, switching strategies, begging the refs for calls and finding a way ? finally ? to calm his team down.
"Any time you don't know whether a team is better offensively or defensively, you know you've got a great basketball team," Pitino said. "And Anthony Davis is incredible."

Are the Bulls the Deepest Team in the NBA?
The matchup Sunday between the Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder is a true battle between the deepest teams in the NBA.
I was on Twitter the other night and I purposed a question, will the Bulls be the only team to win 50 games this season?
I got some interesting responses but I will get to those in a second.
Only four teams in the league still have a chance of winning 50. Besides the Bulls, the other three are the Thunder, Spurs and Heat.
