La Bella Jewels

Back in May, I won a giveaway on one of my favorite blogs, We are THAT Family. The giveaway was for a gift certificate to La Bella Jewels, which is a jeweler named Christina who makes hand stamped jewelry 'with moms in mind.' Well, I received my necklace last week and I absolutely love it. It is perfect and pretty and elegant. Just what I hoped for. 

On the 'front' side are the names of all my children:

On the 'back' side is the phrase "The Lord has blessed me abundantly."

I say 'front' and 'back' because there really is no difference to the sides, and I have worn it both ways on different days. The pearls can be flipped from one side to the other so that you can chose which way it is to be worn. I chose the pearls because I thought they were a bit fancier than birthstones and I wanted the more elegant look. It took me a long time to decide what I wanted the back to say... I tossed around different Scripture references and dates, etc. but finally went with how I really feel. Indeed, the Lord has blessed me abundantly.

Thank you, Christina, for a beautiful work of art. I will treasure it always!
