I like the I Love You More necklace. She has so mnay great pieces

Would like 2 name discs one to say love, the other to say hope with an amethyst birthstone charm on 18 inch sterling silver snake chain.wombatspurple@yahoo.com
Ok so my design would be for me. And I would have my favorite love saying “All Because Two People Fell In Love” and that would be Handstamped. Then I would add 2 charms; they would be the birthstone jewels for both of my children.
My favorite piece from Kristen’s Etsy shop is: Custom Personalized Hammered and Hand Stamped Mommy Necklace!!
My mother passed away 3 yrs ago at the age of 57. I miss her terribly! I would want to honor her memory and also honor me being a mom. I would design a necklace with “Mom” on the back and her birth date. “Blessed Mom” on the front and two tags with my children’s names on them. I would also want their birthstones and my own Mother’s birthstone hanging. Every time I would wear the necklace I would remember how blessed I was to have a special mom, how blessed my kids were to have their “Nonnie” and how blessed I am to be their mom.
What a wonderful contest!!!
My daughter left home a few months ago in rebellion. She barely speaks to us. We are lost and don’t know what to say or do.
If I won, I would make a necklace for her. It would have her birthstone and would say…to the moon and back.
When she was little, we would “fight” over who loved who more…she would say..I love you to the moon and back.
I’ve been a big fan of Kristen’s designs for a long time! I think I’d like to design one that had my 3 boys’ initials on a disk…maybe with a charm or “mom” rectangle. Great contest! Happy Mother’s Day (early).

Oh what a fun contest!!! I love being a mom and the beach and the starfish story…where the little boy is walking on the beach and there are thousands of starfish and he is picking them up one by one and throwing them back in the water. His friend says, “there are thousands out here, why are you even bothering to throw them back in the water?” He replies, “because it matters to that one”. LOVE that story!!! So my necklace would be a round tag that has “You matter to me” stamped around the edge, a small starfish charm on top of it and then two rectangle charms with my kids’ names on them. That would be an amazing necklace and I would wear it all of the time!!!
Both of you rock!!!! Happy early Mother’s Day!!!
In my head, it makes total sense and I hope you understand my rambling… I would have a theme of Mothers through Generations….
My family is Dutch so “Grandma” is “Oma” to us.
My 1 yo dd has the blessed honour of having two Omas, being my mom and my Oma, her great-Oma who is 95 years young… Originally, I would keep the bracelet but once my dd is old enough to appreciate it or has her own daughter, I would pass it on to her.
So, my bracelet design would incorporate four generations of women, mothers in our family (if my dd becomes a mother when she is MUCH older obviously)…
I was thinking maybe one charm per generation – our names and birthdates on each charm perhaps the layered charm .
What a great contest and thnx for considering my entry, I love your work!
I would choose the Personalized Hand Stamped Tag Necklace and add a second tag. I would then add my childrens birthstones. Maybe even a third tag for my husband since he’s my third child. thanks

either with 3 discs or all on one

My friend, Molly, has often admired my “Inspire” necklace by Kristin. So, if I could design one, I think I’d pick one that had “Ryan” and a heart stamp.

I’d love to make a necklace that said “wish” on it with a dandelion charm. I used to love making wishes before blowing dandelions as a kid–brings back a lot of fond childhood memories and reminds me of the innocnece of being a child (especially now that I am mom)
I absolutely love I heart cupcakes–so sweet!

I love the bracelets especially the Hand Stamped Build a Keepsake Bracelet! Thanks! senekers@comcast.net
My suggestion would be a beachcomber bracelet where people could purchase separate beach related items or shells to put on this collectable bracelet like a sanddollar, starfish, clam shell etc. as one would collect shells on a beach walk to remember summer fun beach vacations. Thanks! senekers@comcast.net
I would design one that would say “Evelyn” for my grandmother who passed a couple years ago, and add her birthstone, the Peridot and have this as a necklace. As much as I would want it for myself I would give this to my mother for Mother’s Day. =)

If I could make a necklace it would have a silver chain with 2 silver hearts on it. One with my husband’s name and one with mine. Then I would add little dangling crystals in the color of each of our 5 kids birth month
