Waiting Momma Bracelets

Here is a twist on the Mother's Bracelet. The child's name is on one strand, and the other strand says "In my Heart" or "In our Hearts"
It could also say "Waiting for you", and the LID or Family Day date could be added. The possibilities are endless. The charms are a chinese coin and a red heart. I will be making one of these for myself, as soon as I can buy more letter beads. All beads are sterling silver. I am selling these for $30.00 plus shipping. Sorry the picture isn't great. I simply cannot get my camera to take close up pictures properly.

Hopes and Dreams Boxes

These are paper mache' boxes that are collaged with paint, patterned scrapbook paper, ribbon, charms, and rhinestones. A Chinese character can be stenciled in the journaling box instead of child's name. The inside of the box has a journaling square that says
Star Light, Star Bright,
First Star I see tonight.
I wish I may, wish I might,
Have this with I wish tonight.

I am making one for Sophie and calling it my hopes and dreams box. On small scraps of paper I am going to write all of the dreams I have for her and when she is older she can open it and we can read it together.
I am selling these for ten dollars each.

Mother's Bracelets and Waiting Bracelets

I have the supplies ready to make either Mother's Bracelets, with your child's name and birthstone, or waiting Mom's bracelets with your child's name and the phrase "In our hearts" above the name, with Chinese style beads on the name strand. The Mother's bracelets are almost exactly like these. I will have a picture of the waiting mom bracelets up soon. My camera won't cooperate right now.

Bracelets are $40.00 for one strand(one name), $48.00 for two names, $56.00 for three or more.

Dragonflies Wall Art $35.00

This is a 12 X 12 personalized Wall Hanging. The theme is dragonflies and the colors are primarily purple and mint green. This is embellished with charms, rub ons, foam stamps, and the Chinese symbol for "Love". You can e-mail me a picture to be added, or add it yourself. The poem reads the same as the Shabby Chic frame: "We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life. But those who make their journey home across time and miles, growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them, are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands."
--Kristi Larson
but could be changed to anything you choose if desired. I added a whimsical beaded handle for hanging. For added fun, you could hand from the wall using a decorative drawer pull. A lot of time and love go into these pieces and I know they will be enjoyed for years to come.

LID Plaques $15.00

I have made this small plaque with our Log in Date on it to hang on the door to Sophie's room. I think it turned out cute. I added a whimsical beaded handle for hanging. Any color combination, chinese characters available. A scripture or small quote could be worked in too. The possibilities are endless! These would make a great gift for someone just finishing up their paperchase, or who is in the midddle of the never ending wait. I am going to keep mine up until we bring Sophie home, then I'll probably move it to the fridge(They can be magnets too). I am selling these for $15.00, plus shipping.

Family 12 X 12 Shadowbox Frame-$40.00

Here is another wall hanging. This one is 12 X 12 shadowbox type hanging and has a wooden frame around the outside. There is a pane of Plexiglass protecting the page. The frame can be white if desired, and of course the color scheme would match your decor. I used a lot of metal accents in this one. The Chinese coin is dangling from a red thread. The quote is printed on vellum and mounted on patterned paper. It reads: "What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life; To be with each other in silent unspeakable memories." Across the top in fancy lettering reads FAMILY and across the bottom reads MEMORIES.
