Necklace Set
This focal piece is resin with pieces of mother of pearl and brown lip shell embedded within it!
I used white howlite and chrysanthemum stone in the strand to complement the cylinder. The set is available at Miss Val's Creations.
Custom Scrapbook
One of my girlfriends just turned the big 4-0 and her
daughter threw her a wonderful surprise party! I knew I wanted to get a special
gift for the occasion.
She picked up running a couple of years ago and has been
in various races! She had mentioned to me a while back that she wanted to start
scrapbooking her successes. When I asked
her daughter if she had started one, she said no. So I immediately thought of
Edi’s custom scrapbooks from Memories for Life!
So here it is!

She included the cutest accents!

My friend will be able to affix her favorite photos
throughout the album.
There is space for notes too!

Check out Memories for Life for a variety of custom gifts
for so many occasions!
