I’m taking a little bloggy break from this blog this week.  So, if you’ve come here looking for my usual Fun Monday, Tackle It Tuesday, Wordless Wednesday, etc- then I’m sorry.  It is Sunday evening and I am still trying to respond to comments people left me last Wednesday.  So, I think I need to take a little break from this blog so I can catch up.

I’ll still be posting every day over at Livin’ With Me- so stop by and visit me there.  I’m also doing a giveaway on that blog right now that ends on April 22nd at 11:59pm, so be sure to enter my giveaway.

Have a wonderful week!

…is closer than you think. 

Have you started thinking about what you’re going to get for the special mom in your life?  If you are feeling clueless about what to get, I have the perfect idea for you.  See this necklace I am wearing?  (Why, yes, that is my beautiful neck.)

I don’t have a camera that does this beautiful necklace justice.  Since you probably can’t read the charms, I’ll tell you what they say. One has Hailey’s name on it, one has a heart on it and one has Hailey’s birth-date on it.  And I absolutely love it!

Now I know you’re dying to know where I got it from.  It’s from Alli’s Originals- and she does some amazing work.  Alli is a stay at home mom who has been making jewelry for the last nine years.  And I love the idea of supporting other moms by buying the special products they make.

The jewelry is hand-stamped by Alli and each piece is uniquely made for you.  You know you won’t see anyone else walking around with the same thing as you.  Here is a picture of some of Alli’s work, isn’t that just gorgeous? In order to see how amazing her work is, you have to stop over at her site to see some more examples of what she can do, so please go check out Alli’s Originals.

If you’re looking for a mothers day idea, a gift for a new mommy, or any special person in your life, I highly recommend you check out Alli’s work.  If you need to hint around for your hubby for an idea for you- leave Alli’s website open on your computer for him to see.  I love the necklace she made for me and I’m sure you will love anything you order from her. 

If you do want to order something for Mother’s Day- do it soon.  Alli has to hand make each piece that is ordered, so be sure to give her enough time to make your jewelry and ship it to you.  Plus, if you order now, you can save 10% by entering this coupon code:  ao 10% 07

Don’t wait around, head on over to Alli’s Originals.
