    Happy Birthday!!
    What a fun giveaway. I would Love one of your treasures... I would love to have the words, 'Warrior Princess,' because I'm fighting breast cancer. However, just one motivational word? Brave.

    Ciao Bella!! What a nice "reverse" birthday gift! Isabelle (13)keeps wanting to wear my charm, but it has my initial on it! Would "Isabelle" fit on one ?? or Maybe one with "Love" is one we could share?!?!?!

    Ciao Bella! What a cool 'reverse' birthday gift! Isabelle wants to wear mine, but it's not her initial. Would "Isabelle" fit on one, or even "Love"???

    I hope you are having a fabulous birthday!! What an awesome way to celebrate by sharing your talents with others.

    I would love a pendant that said "Hope" because my life has taken a negative turn after losing my job four years ago and then my mom three years ago and my house 2 years ago, I have promised God that I would not lose HOPE and that I will continue to keep my faith in His plan for me and that I will eagerly accept every challenge along my journey.

    Thank you so much,
    ~~ Liz
