Goals of 2011

Who knew a pendant could transform the year of 2011?
A novel idea for those who are goal oriented.
Those who write goals are reminded to review the goals often.
What a better way to review the goals as they are around your neck, or on a key chain.
I love the front of this classy Eiffel tower (photos courtesy of my daughter!). The reverse side reveals my true personal desired attributes. My husband and I were talking about what makes the difference between good and excellent people (through his business classes in his master program, but applies anywhere). He said through years and years of study it is the Consistency and Self-Discipline that makes successful people.
Through ordering a Special Order Goal Pendant, May the year 2011 improve us by consistency through self discipline with the help of our little pendant!

Perfect for Christmas

This special order was made for a mother, and both grandmothers. She loved it.
I have done lots of orders in advance for Christmas. You can still order!
"...Yes I did and they are GREAT!!! I am really happy with them! Thanks so much for all of your hard work!"

Linked Pendant Necklace

I have had this in my mind for so long. Now you can see...so can my mom (Merry Christmas). Have a great day!

Meaningful Butterflies

I created these for a Woman who owns her business. These gifts are for her directors. She ordered pendants and necklaces for them. She had an initial on one side and a butterfly on the other.
I really thought it was inspirational. A perfect Gift.
It was really fun to work on.

Sweet Angel

I have helped many with sympathies to and for loved ones who have had someone pass on to the other side. Jen gave me permission to share her Little Angel who passed away shortly after birth. May God bless her and her family. Now she can keep little Camryn close to her heart.

For your Watch and more...

It seems to be the "hot" thing to have a beaded watch bracelet. Well now, you can get a whole new look. I made this bracelet with links, but actually the client in the end wanted to change it to have stretchy string to hold it together. So fun to work on.

Perfect gift for a Mother in law or better yet, you!

The Ultimate Special Order

This was an amazing project. I had taken a trip to Park Valley to see my Grandmother's Grave. The house she grew up in is abandoned yet beautiful. My Grandmother's parents were immigrants from Switzerland.

I walked down the dirt path with my daughter's hand to the back of the house. I was nervous not knowing what animals may be lurking. I stepped up onto the creaky porch past an old broken wide-open fridge. I could see broken glass on the porch. I kept my eyes open wide, I could hear something coming. I wondered if it were some big bull dog. My heart sped up. Backing up because I was scared, I picked up my little girl, ready to run. There they were, about 5 little cute puppies. It scared me to death!

I stepped back up onto the porch looking inside. I could see the old fireplace boarded up. We reached inside to get some wall paper.

I wanted to take somethings back with me to produce for me, my mom, and my sister.

Well, with the glass from the house, I cut it to size, cut out the wall paper, and found some vintage photos of my Grandmother. My Grandmother died when my mom was 10. She wrote some letters to my mother to have her open on Birthdays. My Grandmother would always say "Be Good". I added a charm to remind me to "Be Good".

So special to have a piece of my Grandmother everywhere I go.
