I make a lot of necklaces but just recently I had a request to customize our braided leather bracelet. The stamped heart on the bracelet is hand stamped with strength, courage and wisdom on it. I was asked if I could stamped a name on the back of the heart. Very rarely do I ever stamp on back of the charms. When I strike the stamp with a hammer, depending on how hard I hit it, there may be an indention that shows through on the other side. In other words, it wouldn't look very good.
My client suggested stamping her niece's initial in the middle of the heart. Well, as you can see, it turned out beautiful. Thank you Liz from Guelph, Canada
For those of us in the southeast school is back in full force. My twins just turned 12 and have opened a new chapter in their book of life....middle school. My 7 year old is now in the second grade and was cautious his first couple days of school. First time he's been on the school bus without his big brothers. After two weeks he is now enjoying his new found freedom. Like most moms the first day of school is the best day of my life. After putting all three kids on the school bus, my husband and I spent the day together. I couldn't help but to skip around with a big smile on my face. Again, like most moms, the kids are settled in their school routines and I am back to missing them during the day. I thought I would share some of my favorite pictures of my boys today.
