*Updated* I’m happy to announce the TWO winners for this wonderful giveaway! Congrats to Jennifer and Rhoda!
One of the unexpected highlights of this blog, is discovering beautiful handmade items and the creative ladies behind them.
I wanted to memorialize a momentous event in our oldest child’s life last month: her baptism.
Water baptism is taken seriously in our faith and I knew my sweet girl would remember this moment forever:
I wanted to help her capture it.
LaBella Jewels helped me etch this significant moment into our hearts forever. Christina generously created this lovely necklace for my daughter. But it was a gift for me:
This side has the date of her Baptism, the other has her name, a cross charm and Swarovski crystal.
LaBella Jewels offers a huge selection of absolutely lovely hand stamped designs.
Here are a few more of my favorites:


LaBella Jewels is offering TWO $50 gift certificates to two fortunate readers. Please check out her wonderful store and tell me what you love.
This giveaway closes on Thursday.





























Our parents are celebrating 50 years of marriage, and the necklace with all the names of children and grandchildren is a perfect way to honor their accomplishment! I’m ordering two!
I really love it all, but I would love “bella flower” for my daughter!
I love the Grande Eternity Family sterling silver necklace! I’m not a big necklace person, but I can see myself wearing that one A LOT! I am bookmarking her website…love her jewelry!
I love the necklace she made for your daughter. Something like that would be wonderful for my daughter’s upcoming First Communion. I also think the love tags are wonderful!! A great way to show your pride in your family. The Simply charming hand stamped necklace is a great treat for any little girl. Thank you for letting us know about this shop, her designs are wonderful and you as always are full of wonderful information

I am thinking of something similar for my daughter.. actually I could justify just about every design
I love ALL of it but the 4 layers of love would have to be my pick! I would love to have anything she has – so if I win I would give the giftcard to hubby since my Birthday, Anniversary, and Mothers day are two days apart!

I am so in love with LaBella’s jewelry I have been eyeing from your site for a while.
I really want to get the Always in my Heart bracelet and the Always Close key chain for my SIL and my brother. Their sweet baby girl passed away in Feb at 9 mos old. I wanted to get it for them in honor of her upcoming 1st birthday.
These pieces are just too sweet.
Love the Flutterby necklace! Thanks for the chance to win.
Love the charm bracelets. I’d love to win one of these!
your daughter’s necklace and all of the jewelery at labella is just beautiful! thanks for the link. i love the mine for eternity pieces. any mom (or daughter) would love to have such a special piece of jewelery.
I like the My Heart Stamped Necklace the best. Thanks!
I love her sterling necklaces – especially the ones where you can fit four names. Beautiful!
Your baptism idea was a great one. I had a guy cut me a *tree* in the inside of a dime for my granddaughter when she was baptized. I put that on a necklace for her so she would remember who gave his life for her.
Acts 10:39
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree.
God Bless,
