Cherished Birthday Gift from a Friend

I celebrated my birthday last Friday with family and friends. It feels great to have so much love gathered in one spot. It's always cool to receive birthday gifts too.

I loved all my gifts and was especially touched by the gift from my friend Dawn and her husband Brian. Dawn is the artist and owner of Donnibelle Studios here in Fort Wayne. Her mind is always working on ways to take past loved treasures and give them new life. I guess that's one of our shared loves. Dawn is also an encouragement to my creativity with Treasured Traditions.

I am the proud owner of a Donnibelle original heart locket encrusted with my birthstone (amethyst) and other findings. I can't wait to find two appropriate special photos to adorn the inside of this wonderful locket. Thank you so much for an awesome, unique birthday gift!

Take a look at Donnibelle Studios sight to see a wide variety of her great creations.

 

Happy January!

It's extremely cold throughout the Midwest and beyond. The idea of going outside day or night just gives you the shivers (all over).

Just wanted to share with you about the Treasured Traditions birthday month celebration. Middle of each month, we'll draw one persons name from those followers who have shared that information with us (privately). The monthly birthday winner will get a special little gem from Treasured Traditions. If you didn't circle your birthday month at one of the holiday events last month, feel free to private message us via email or on Facebook.

To keep the warm weather cheer in the air, here's a pic of one of our favorite "Life's Better on the Beach" ornaments.
