handwritten “love notes” (something new!)

Is there anything sweeter than little kids handwriting?
I am completely in love with our new “love notes” necklace

We take your precious little handwritten notes and drawings
and turn them into charms-
priceless little treasures that you can keep forever,
remember what their handwriting looked like when they were little!
You email us a picture and we take it from there.

They are made from scratch with fine silver
and you can design your own piece by picking out your favorite shapes for your charms.

Above is my little 4 year old Eden’s heart drawing and how she writes her name-
I absolutely LOVE it!

You can purchase just the charms or add a chain if you’d like-
the perfect meaningful gift for Mom or Grandma this Mother’s Day!!!

This week was Spring Break for us-
Ryan and Caleb went on Caleb’s first missions trip to work with the Chicago Dream center
(they come home today)
and so my week was full of sleepovers, movies, card games, chicken-sitting, some shopping/decorating, a trip with Grandpa D. to Arbuckle Wilderness and lots of cuddles with my littlest 3!
(Jonah loves hats, he wears them all of the time, I love it!)

the “love” ones already sold out because of Valentine’s Day!
