Sister necklace

The sister necklace I had in the clearance section is now sold. I wasn't in love with the look of that one and I really want to come up with something fun and meaningful. I have 5 sisters and we are all very close. Growing up we didn't always get along, but most of the time we were best friends.









When I got married 3 of my sisters were still in Elementary school, and the other 2 still lived at home. They would occasionally come and sleep over at our apartment and we'd always have a big party. My sisters are always there for me during the good times and the bad, and I'm grateful they're in my life.


Three of us live in Utah, and the other two live in Ohio so we don't have many opportunities for all of us to be together at the same time, but in March one of my sisters got married and we had a girls' night out the night before the wedding. We went to Cold Stone for ice cream and we chatted about what we were going to wear, and how we'd do our hair. We had such a great time together, I haven't laughed that much in a long time.





So this sister necklace is especially meaningful to me, I want it to really describe how sisters can be the best of friends.


The text on the first sister necklace was "Sisters by chance, friends by choice." I do still like this but I think I could come up with something better.



One of my ideas for the text on the new necklace is "A sister is a forever friend". Love it? Hate it? If you have any great suggestions let's hear them!

A new custom necklace

My mother-in-law is in the hospital right now, and it happened at the worst time! Right when her other grandkids, who she hasn't seen in two years, were visiting. We're hoping this Grandma necklace will help to cheer her up.


If you like it you can find it in my shop.

Mommy's diamond necklace

This diamond necklace is one that I made last night for a dear friend. We've been friends since junior high but we rarely get to see each other these days. We're getting together this weekend and this will be an early birthday present for her. It has her name, her husband's name, and the names of her two children, who just happen to be the same ages and genders of my two children. I hope she likes it! If you like it you can get one in my shop.

New "blessed beyond measure" necklace



I know that everyone has trials in their lives, there's no way around it! But if we truly pause to think about all that we have, we are all truly blessed beyond measure. This is the newest necklace that I've made, you can find it in my shop. I just got some sterling silver ball chains in so this one comes with the sterling silver chain. You can substitute a sterling silver chain on any necklace in my shop that doesn't come with one for $5 more.

A few things are on sale

I'm still trying to finalize which pieces will regularly be in my shop. These 4 did not make the cut so they are all on sale right now. Get them while you can because these exact ones won't be in the shop again...
