Customized Children's Name Bracelets

2009-07-19T09:17:00.000-07:00

These are the name bracelets I have been making for my friends over the years. I decided I may as well try and earn a buck or two doing it.

These are made with Swarovski crystals and silver plated beads and findings. The alphabet beads are plastic. I can make a bracelet with sterling silver block beads but it costs an extra $1.50 per letter.

The bracelets I have made so far have been mostly pink but they can be made in any color combination that you like. I made a beautiful lavender one for someone a few months ago.

Charms come in virtually any theme you can think of. Ballet, Cheer, musical instruments, animals, insects, Chinese words, etc.

These are $20.00 each plus $2.00 shipping. If you would like one, please e-mail me at:

Cost of bracelet includes one charm. The cost of adding a second charm(like the one in the second photo shown here) would vary, dependng on the charm chosen.

I would love to make one for you!

Personalized Chinese Adoption Wall Art

2008-10-01T17:45:00.000-07:00

These are done on artist's canvas using acid free papers and materials. Any color combination is available. Chinese lettering can say pretty much anything you like. Family, Love, your child's name, etc. Lettering can be in any color you choose. Also, you may choose any quote or poem or scripture that you like for the journal box on the right. Or I have a list of several to choose from.
Two sizes are available. 8 X 8 or 12 X 12. The smaller size costs $30.00 plus shipping and the larger size is $40.00 plus shipping.
These would be beautiful additions to your child's door or room.

Shabby Chic

2008-10-01T17:42:00.000-07:00

This first one I like to call "Shabby Chic" because of the pink and white color scheme and the roses. The quote says: "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

Waiting Momma Bracelets

2007-04-06T07:10:00.000-07:00

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

2007-04-05T16:23:00.000-07:00

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

2007-04-04T20:33:00.000-07:00

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

2007-04-01T07:22:00.000-07:00

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

2007-04-01T07:17:00.000-07:00

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

2007-03-30T21:55:00.000-07:00

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.
