Look What I Got!!

*UPDATED* Congrats to Mrs. 007 for winning some fabulous etsy jewelry!  The rest of you scoot over there and be nice to yourself!
{Etsy Jewelry Giveaway Today!}

I’ve tackled nearly all my Christmas shopping.

I’ve gotten a sewing kit for my son (!) and a rocket set for my daughter and a couple of other small gifts from their wish lists. We’re not afraid to cross those gender lines around here.
Santa’s bringing a Nintendo DS for my older two and a kitchen for the toddler.
Because he’s nice like that.  And loaded, according to my kids.
And I had no intention of getting myself a gift. 
But I couldn’t resist.
When I started getting this post together to feature my next Mom store, I got that tingly feeling because I realized it was jewelry. From Etsy.  
Let me guess…you’ve got the tingles too?
Look what I found when I went to her store:
We Are THAT Family blog Necklace
Um, yeah. Like I could have resisted that temptation!
And I love it. I’ve earned this badge of honor. I think.
 Creations by Chara offers gorgeous hand-stamped jewelry. It’s fun and unique and hellooo….custom!
Of course, I love this for my cat! And this copper oval necklace is adorable!
She’s offering a $25 gift certificate to a reader today! So, off you go, look around and tell me what you would pick out for yourself, I mean, your mom or sister!
I’ll choose a random winner (other than myself) on Thursday afternoon! 
Don’t forget to shop Etsy and buy handmade this holiday season!  For more great tips, visit Works for Me Wednesday.

  1. 1

    I would definitely get the “Big Sister – Little Sister” necklaces for my girls…so CUTE!!! Or…the Cameo Choker for me. :)

  2. 2

    Oooh! Lots to like. My heart skipped a beat at the Sisters necklaces, though. I’d have to get four, but it’d be great:
    Big Sis, Little Sis, Kid Sis, Baby Sis. That’s what we call our four daughters.

    FUN!!
    Oh, random number chooser, pick #1!!!

  3. 3

    I mean #2!

  15. 15
    Pixie says:

    I like the foiled hearts necklace. I’d love to put a heart of each different color on to signify each of my kids, but a single heart will do, too :-)

    Ally

  55. 55

    How cool! However I think it would just sound like I am full of myself if I wore a necklace saying “Gabi’s World.” It sounds like she revolves around me or something. lol Yours is perfect though.

  56. 56
    Pamelotta says:

    I like the butterfly that says FREE. But I think I’d ask her if she could put the clasp in the back.

    I can’t decide. I have a dear friend that is at Riley Hospital right this moment… her college age son is dying with cancer.
    I would love to honor her with something special with his name on it.
    This has been a rough year….and she is barely hanging on.

    Last night….over 100 students/friends from PURDUE came to the hospital to visit him. He is so loved….and will be missed by many.

    I would want to design something special just for her.

  59. 59
