A new banner design!

I want to thank my friend Johnina from bottlesbarbiesandboys blog for designing all of my banners and buttons! I met her through my Mommy Doodles giveaway and she is just a wonderful person. She designed my new header and three other buttons for me (the one on the right hand of my blog) and just designed the above header for me and I think it turned out fabulous! When you get a chance check out her blog at http://www.bottlesbarbiesandboys.blogspot.com/

She is a wonderful person to do this for an "internet friend" and it is something that I truly appreciate more than she will ever know!

Let me know what you think about my new header when you get a chance...

Thanks Johnina!

Baptism, Christening, Holy Communion and Confirmation Gifts!






I have been making TONS of Baptism, Christening, Holy Communion and Confirmation gifts.

For a Baptism or Christening gift I can either do a swarovski crystal and pearl personalized name bracelet with a sterling silver cross charm ($25.00) or a swarovski crystal and pearl bracelet with a sterling silver cross ($15.00).

All of the above can be customized with the child's birthstone or in a clear swarovski crystal.

For a Holy Communion or Confirmation gift I do these in larger sizes. I also make Rosaries ($40.00) and Rosary Bracelets ($25.00). These can both be personalized with the child's birthstone or in a clear swarovski crystal.

The bracelets are made with a sterling silver adjustable clasp so it grows with the child. It can be sent back to me to be resized as they outgrow it and worn for all the special occasions in her life. From Baptism to her Wedding Day and passed onto her children.

Swarovski and Bali Name Bracelet



What do you think about this new design? I used montanna blue swarovski crystal and bali silver to design this piece! I love it because it is the same color as denim and goes with everything! I really like using bali silver because it is a little bulky and is perfect for everyday wear! This design can be made with any color of crystal or could be replaced with birthstone color's as well.

The price for this piece is $45.00 per strand.

Bridal Design!



Are you planning a wedding? Let me help you with your bridal jewelry. I can create an original design for you and your bridal party or I will be happy to schedule your wedding party to make their own jewelry. Custom designed jewelry not only makes the bridal party look great, it also creates a unique gift they will treasure. The jewelry you give and wear will last forever and can be passed down from generation to generation. Contact me for an appointment or more information.

Let me create your jewelry...

Make an appointment for a bridal consultation with me and we will discuss your theme, colors, style and come up with several designs to fit your taste and budget. I can create jewelry to perfectly match your dress and headpiece. Each piece is handcrafted by me and elegantly packaged for gift giving. Turnaround time is usually one to two weeks from placing your order. Rush orders are available.

Make your own jewelry...

Have a beading party with your bridal party! A beading party is a great way for you and your bridal party to spend quality time together before the wedding. Invite your mother, future mother-in-law, bridesmaids, flower girls, and friends. You provide a location and snacks, dessert and beverages and I bring everything needed for a fun beading party! As the bride, you can select specific designs for your bridal party to create or leave that up to each guest.

This bracelet and earrings were custom designed to match the brides headpiece. It includes a single blue bead to represent her "something blue".
