Hand Stamped Custom Keepsakes from juliethefish designs! *US & CANADA Giveaway*

I have always been a fan of unique personalize items, jewelry being one of them. I have been seeing hand stamped jewelry everywhere I look so when I came across juliethefish designs on Etsy I simply fell in love with her shop! She offers the most beautiful hand stamped items that I have come across. From necklaces to key chains to rings, you will find customizable options for everyone! The customizing doesn't stop at personalization. With each item you are looking to purchase, you can add extras to complete your special piece. You can chose among fresh water pearls, channel set birthstone charm, peacock blue fresh water pearl, and many more! You will have so much fun creating your keepsake!

Julie is the creator of juliethefish designs! She lives in Visalia California with her husband and two little boys. During the day she stays home with her boys and at night she teaches English as a Second Language to Spanish speaking adults. She definitely is a busy woman! She started juliethefish designs by trying to recreate a similar piece of hand stamped jewelry she saw her friend wear and look at her now! She has a whole shop of piece that she created with her own two hands! That definitely has to be a great feeling to know that her special designs are being worn all around the world!

Julie was wonderful enough to send me a personalized hand stamped necklace! She had sent me a picture before but when I received it, the picture didn't do it justice. It was so small and dainty and I absolutely loved it! It had both Riley and Emma's names on it, along with a fresh water pearl and a small open heart charm! Hung on a beaded chain, it was completed perfectly. Simple but elegant is the only way that I can really describe it. I wear it everyday and get so many compliments! I love that it has my babies names on it. That means so much to me.

If you want to drop a little hint to your other half on what to get you, I would recommend leaving the juliethefish designs Etsy page up on your computer! Or if you are more like me, you can just tell him that you want a beautiful hand stamped necklace with your children's names on it! Don't forget to mention that you want pearls added too! :) I know Mother's Day has passed but Christmas is right around the corner and I'm sure that you would make anyone's holiday special by purchasing hand stamped creations for them! If you are undecided on what to get, Julie offers Gift Certificates! You can't go wrong letting that special someone create their own gift! Until July 31st, 30% (YES 30%!!!) of the proceeds from Julie's shop will be donated to Cohen Marshall's Trust! You can read more about this over on Send Love to Cohen. It is a blog about a little baby boy, named Cohen, that had a Congenital Heart Defect and recently just passed away in June. It is such a heart breaking story. So head on offer, support the cause, and create a beautiful keepsake!
