Etsy feature: Sweet JAM

My daughter loves to color and draw and is always so proud to show off her artwork. (And as the proud momma, I want to show off her artwork too!) It's so important for our children's self esteem and confidence to know that their parents are proud of the work they do. Displaying your child's artwork is one of many wonderful ways to let them know they are special and that the work that they do matters.

Alison with Sweet JAM makes these great "Look What I Made" personalized signs--perfect for displaying that special artwork. These would make great back to school gifts and birthday gifts. (All photos courtesy of Sweet JAM)

There are several customizable options....you can choose the background color, the name color and the "Look What I Made" color...

Lots of colors to choose from....

You also have the option of choosing a theme for your sign. Choose from princess, sports, ballerina, dinosaurs, flowers, animals and many more (contact Alison to find out more options).

Here's an example of the dinosaur theme....

With a new school year soon approaching, I think these would make great back to school gifts and what better way to start a new school year than to show your child how excited you are to show off his/her upcoming projects!

Thanks so much to Alison with Sweet JAM for sharing these fantastic personalized signs with us! Be sure to check out Alison's shop....not only does she offer these "Look What I Made" signs but she also has some birthday reminder signs for your family or classroom plus some decorative family name signs as well.

Happy Shopping, everyone!!

Etsy Feature: Una Tia Especial

In a previous post I mentioned how much I love birthstones and how special they are to me. Wearing birthstone jewelry can be such a simple and classy way to honor yourself and your loved ones. I came across Elaine's Una Tia Especial shop this past March when I was searching for a special gift for one of my best friends. I was looking for a piece of jewelry to honor her two children and Elaine was so sweet and so great to work with. She made the perfect birthstone necklace for my friend and I was so pleased with how her necklace turned out that when Mother's Day approached one of Elaine's necklaces was at the top of my wish list.

My husband ordered one of Elaine's beautiful birthstone necklaces that included his, mine and our daughter's birthstones.

It is gorgeous! My husband's birthstone (Feburary-Amethyst) is on the top, mine (September-Sapphire) is on the bottom and our daughter's (May-Emerald) is in between the two.

I wear this necklace just about everyday and I have received so many compliments on it. One of the most special things about this necklace is that whenever I wear it my daughter will go through each birthstone saying, "This one is Daddy's. This one is Hadley's. And this one is Mommy's." LOVE!

What a simple yet classy and special way to honor your loved ones!

Here are a few samples from Elaine's Una Tia Especial shop (all photos courtesy of Una Tia Especial. Click on the pictures and they will direct you to her Etsy shop).

 Matching bracelets are also available...

 Earrings too....

These would make great gifts for moms, grandmothers, siblings, birthdays, Mother's Day, baby showers, Christmas.....

Check out Elaine's Una Tia Especial shop for these and more great items. She offers several more types of necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Thanks so much to Elaine for letting me feature your shop!
