since last month's design was such a hit, i decided to stay in the same vein...
tiny squares.
Two hammered squares (About 1/2" each) are hung from a thick, sterling ring and strung on 18" sterling chain. A cream freshwater pearl adds the perfect detail. Each square can fit up to 6 characters. Oh, it's so perfect!!
$46.00, additional charms $14.00

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 314 of 314What a lovely give away. Although I would love to report some exciting upcoming adventure in the works... there is none. I can promise that April showers... make mud puddles and mud puddles make little boys wild with delight. So since I have 3 boys... we will do some puddle stomping with baths immediately following. Doesn't April sound glamorous ?
rae
Love this necklace too.
My daughter is turning 9 so big celebration for her..usually a few days because of her gotcha day too. Then soccer games, kite flying, and enjoying the warm weather.

Something fun for April, oh yes I know, it is my birthday on the 7th.
So the absolute best thing in April will be my wee ones, my daughter (Ruby-Star) 6 will help her daddy cook me breakfast in bed, at a ridiculously insane hour of the morning, and then my little man Hudson 2 aka baby bird, will then help me demolish it whilst being given some lovely homemade and bought gifts. I will then just hang with them and hopefully get a nap...what more could you ask for really...it is pure happiness!
There is only one thing scheduled for April around here... to FIND SPRING! It seems to have disappeared somewhere. BEE-autiful necklace!!!
April...baseball games, volleyball games and flag football games. Where has my life gone!?
Not to the birds...but to the KIDS!!!

Our fun plans for April...
...planting seeds with my toddler daughter....
...reconnecting with my two best girlfriends from college...
...enjoying the dogwoods blooming in my yard with some macro photography to capture their beauty...
...aaaahhhh, I feel so relaxed now!
I love this necklace!
We are going to the Wisconsin Dells for family vacation in April! We try to do something fun on my son Miles' Heaven day and decided the kids would love a waterpark vacation! (Ok, so maybe the parents are going to enjoy it more than them! LOL!)
Oh so cute!!! My birthday is April 09 and my fun thing planned is grilling out with family! No present is better than spending time with family, laughing and enjoying good food!

Love the necklace, Lisa! Wow! So must everyone else by the number of posts by 9 am on April 1st! For fun this month, 20 of my college friends are meeting in Galveston, TX for a long weekend of fun and catching up. It has been 20 years since we entered college and I haven't seen many of them in about that long!
Love the necklace!!! April for us means just spending time together outside enjoying spring. We do have a trip to the zoo planned for this weekend!
My daughter and newly adopted granddaughter are coming home from South Korea to spend the whole summer with us. Her husband is in the Air Force and is stationed there for three years but his family gets to be with him. I can't tell you how excited I am to have her here combined with the hopes of having all my children and grandchildren all together at some point. It's family picture time again. There just is not a better thrill for Papa and Grammy.
The necklace is so cute! My fun event for April - is we're moving! It's going to be fun for my little one because he gets to spend a lot of time with Grandma and he gets a bigger room!
We have April traditions and they are going to the baseball games with the family and tailgating in the parking lot. GO ANGELS!!!!!!!!!!!
So fun!!
Highlight of our April is that we're volunteering at a Steven Curtis Chapman concert. Our daughter just came home from Korea, and we're volunteering at his concert because his Shaohannah's Hope organization gave us a grant to help bring our daughter home.
Our big event/news for the month is announcing to everyone that we are having baby number 2!!!! We're thrilled. You're jewelry is exquisite.
Our fun task for the month which Im sure will take us a month is getting our little guys nursery together.
My boyfriend and I are having our 3 year anniversary! So for my gift we're going to see Hairspray on stage on the 19th. And for his gift we're going to see a ballgame (he's yet to settle an exact date for that though).
Heather
My fun thing for April is getting full nights sleep--my 7 week old slept through the night last night. Should be a great month. I love your designs.
Autumn S.
My fun for April is getting to know my brand new baby girl, Natalie, and introducing her to her big sister, Lily (2.5). I have maternity leave the whole month so I plan on being in mommy mode showering my 2 girls with love.
My most fun thing for April is getting my 2 1/2 year old son evaluated again and probably started on speech therapy. This probably doesn't sound like FUN, per se, but I've seriously been looking forward to the re-test for 6 months! It's a long story, but I'm hopeful that this will be our chance to get some help for our little guy.
I am also growing little seedlings and delighting in watching them grow. I think of my kids growing as quickly and remember how much TLC and patience both need. I'm looking forward to repotting them and maybe even moving them outside this month - if it stops snowing around here! :)
This necklace is so sweet! Thanks to Alice for sending me your way!
My schedule usually consists of taking my son to speech/occupational therapy four times a week. But this month we get to take a 10 day brake!!!
We are driving down to Florida to see my Grandma, parents, and sister! On the drive home, we are stopping by Alice's to say HELLO!
Love the squares!! We're looking forward to a wedding this April...time to see all of our family members in one room for the first time in a long time!!
My fun thing? Hmmm. My sweet baby boy turns One on April 11th! Love your necklaces, but with so many comments my chances of winning one seem slim! :-) Good luck to me!
I LOVE that necklace. My friend told me about this giveaway because I had just done a post about desiring a hand-stamped necklace. What a coincidence!
April is a fun busy month for us! But our most important thing scheduled this month is a 7 hour road trip to St. George, UT to see my grandma and my grandpa. My grandpa isn't doing too well and I have been very close to him my entire life. It's extremely important for me to get there and visit with him and take a lot of pictures of him with me and my kids.
my fun plan for April is THE END OF TAX SEASON. as an accountant, april 16th is even better than my birthday! only 15 more days!!! then i can start doing crafty things again. watch out, fabric store!
oooohhhhhhhh the necklace...gorgeous and simple!
well i'm a very new mommy who hasn't had a split second to myself since the baby was born, so my fun thing for april is getting a PEDICURE!! i'm so excited, i've got it all planned out, including a quick stop for coffee to sip on while my toes get done!
Such a beautiful necklace. You are so talented.
Our fun event for April (other than celebrating 2 birthday and our wedding anniversary) is attending the National Cheer competition in Greensboro, NC for my 13 year old daughter. This is her first national competition and we are so excited. The whole family will be going to make it into a mini vacation. Cant wait. We have never been to greensboro.
Thank you,
Stephanie M.
Fun things for april....my sis gets to find out this week what the sex of her first baby is (& we are very excited) and I will turn 25 this month. April is always exciting as it grows closer to warmth!
We are so excited for Spring! My mother-in-law and sister-in-law are coming for a visit in April which has us all thrilled. We are looking forward to some picnics at the park.
Getting to play outside again!!
HOLY COW! You have 229 comments! Whew!
The main thing we have scheduled for April is the MS Walk on the 19th. My Mom was diagnosed with MS with our first child was born. She was stranded in a hospital thousands of miles from home unable to hold her new grandbaby. That was 5 1/2 years ago but her MS still has the best of her. My kids will never knew the Mom I knew. We love her all the same, but raising money and awareness about MS is a top priority! So, we will be walking for a cure on April 19th!
Oh I love this necklace!
Our fun thing for April is putting our house on the market.
Right now it is not so fun getting it ready, but I will be so happy to see that sign in the yard!!!

Lisa, I love your jewelry!
Our fun for the month of April was supposed to be going to Disneyland with grandma and grandpa, but grandma is extremely ill with cancer so for spring break we will bring a little Disney to her!
My husband and I are going away together for the first time in almost a year! We'll be in Palm Springs reconnecting and laying by the pool. Hopefully it will be warm but if it rains we'll find something else to do!
Meredith
taking our little guy to the zoo --before it gets too hot here in sunny Florida. :)
Lisa, these are beautiful! Something fun for April....well, we're headed to Cabo with our entire family...10 kids and 8 adults...wahoo!
Love, love, love this necklace Lisa! Our fun event for April is celebrating my daughter's 1st birthday! She is our miracle-born premature at 3lbs. and now weighs 17lbs. Would love to have her name on a charm on this necklace and wear it close to my heart to remind me how precious life truly is.
What a darling necklace, Lisa. You are so talented. I'd order one of everything you offer if I could!
I live in Texas (near Dallas) and one of the things that we look forward to doing this time of year is taking pictures of the kids in a patch of bluebonnets (our state flower) on the side of the road/highway. The flowers are so pretty and it's fun to compare the pictures each year to see how much the kids have grown. We haven't gotten around to doing in the last couple of years for one reason or another, so this year I'm determined not to let the window of opportunity close on us!
I'm taking my two youngest daughters to Dallas to visit family, and we have lunch reservations at the new American Girl Bistro there! I can't wait! I have a feeling I may have more fun than they do!! :)
I love your work and enjoy your blog! Thanks for the daily inspiration.
Lisa
believe it or not, my april plan was to share the birds and the bees with our two oldest (7 and 9) before they got some major misinfo at school! managed it tonight at dinner and it was truly FUN! we laughed and i can't tell you how many times I said "I know this sounds weird, but....."

My fun thing for April? I'm graduating from college!!! April 24-25 is going to be the best two days ever for me because these last 5 years working to get this degree has been the hardest thing I have ever done and I pushed through and I can finally celebrate!!!
Audrey P.
- soon to be alumnist from Brigham Young University!!
The lines of your jewelry are stand out gorgeous...i love lurking on your site and one day i will purchase one of these lovelies. As for a wonderful April fun event i like to take the boys camping...last week we camped on the Russian River near Jenner, CA. Little cold but well worth it.
Love the necklace! I'm taking art lessons (oil and watercolor painting) and will be going to my first "paint out" with other artists this month! And...we'll be visiting tulip fields at the end of the month!
a fun thing ----well my first born turns 12 on the 11th -- we will celebrate with a little league game followed by a huge pool party!!!
Love it! My twins, Connor and Chloe, will be baptized April 12th. And, their names would look great on this necklace {wink}.
Jennie
As a mom of 3 boys ages 14, 11 & 5, it is hard to find fun for all. Next week I want to take my 5 year old strawberry picking. Fun is all about perspective! He will LOVE it. We will do it. Just him & me. What fun! A special field trip before kinder starts next year. Your jewelry is so special, Lisa. I've been admiring it for a while.
some quality time with my hubby! we're going to our church's couples conference and the baby is staying with grandma :) I'm both excited and nervous about that last part!
My daughters first birthday! I can't believe she will be 4!! LOVE the necklace!
Love the necklace! One fun April event we have planned is meeting my inlaws in the Magic Kingdom. Our 3 year old can finally ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad...watch out, world!
The kids are going to grandma's for the day on a Saturday....fun break for me! Your necklaces have such character! Thanks for doing this give-away.
Your jewelry is beautiful! My fun event for April is redecorating my daughters room.
So beautiful! We're expecting our first child in September, so we're trying to take some fun trips before that time. This month we're going to New York City and Las Vegas. (Not that life ends when you have children, but you have to pack a couple more things when you go somewhere!)
My husband is an accountant and so April 15th is always the BEST day of the year when we finally get "Daddy" back. But this year it is an even better month because we are also having baby girl #3 at the end of the month! Yeah - we are loving april!
I LOVE the necklace!
I don't have anything extraordinarily fun planned for April. I am recovering from a trip to Disney World with my sister and her kids (got back last week). I'm also trying to recover from all the crap life has dumped on me lately.
So my fun for April will consist of playing with my 9 month old puppies. They bring me so much joy and love, they make everything fun.
Fun?? Taking my son out for his birthday... WITH the girlfriend. Fun? I think it will be since this is his first girlfriend. But my husband and I realized that it will show us how old we're getting. ;)
Love, love the new design
I have made a challenge to myself to become a tourist in our own city. Up in April is the new Curious George Exhibit at our Children's Museum and the ducks in the lobby of the Peabody Hotel.
My April Fun includes a three day road trip to Pittsburgh (for training for a summer missions project), hiking every free warm afternoon and evening, playing ringmaster to a preschool circus (sans lions and flying trapeze due to liability), dancing barefoot in the rain with 10 of the best four year olds I have ever met, planting flowers, and watching butterflies hatch. I may also throw in some face painting, lots of bubbles, some good drumming sessions to Kiddie Rock, and lots of swinging.
Love those charms!
I love your items and have fun checking in from time to time to see what new designs you've come up with!
My fun thing for April is a drive from Dallas to the Hill Country (Austin) for a baby shower. I'm driving my new convertible Mini Cooper (yellow!) with my sister and it'll be a girls' weekend!
In April I will be:
1. awaiting the www.lisaleonardonline.com site to be up and running, so i can order a necklace for a second-time mom (my sister in law), and a new mom (my friend) who is due in april!
2. finishing up my junior year in nursing school.
3. enjoying time outside with my husband and our 5 year old daughter Flynn, as the snow FINALLY begins to melt here in chilly Vermont!
4. speed training, running, hills...for a race in run in may. www.runvermont.org.

Very inspirational!
Lisa you get better each creation! I am looking forward to my first event created for our Obama Mamas here in North Carolina April 10th. ;)
LOVE the necklace!! My fun thing for April is simply getting ready for Spring...this seasonal affective disorder was getting me down...so Spring is in the air...and I am cleaning, and loving the sunshine, blue sky, and blooming trees...YIPPEE!!! An awesome necklace would even make me happier!!;)
well the fun event on behalf of the house is spring cleaning. it always feels brand new after that. doesn't prevent me from making a change or two.
i will be heading off with my best pal to ride bikes and take pictures in canyonlands.
I love your sweet designs and I am a daily reader of your blog.
April will be the month of Spring spruce up for my studio and making new designs for my website.

We are going on the March of Dimes Walk for Prematurity at the end of the month. THis will be the 5th time we have walked for our little boy Mason who passed away from Prematurity 5 years ago. So that is our special thing planned for this month and we will never miss a walk for the rest of our lives just so we can do something in his memory and show that he was here, oh so briefly but he was here!!
Connor's first birthday is in April!! What is more fun than that?
:)
I add this to prizeatron today too.

Fun thing scheduled this April: The ultrasound for my fourth baby. This pregnancy was unplanned as we have an eight month old right now, so we have been hiding this pregnancy until the ultrasound to make it more fun for all. I can't wait to finally tell the news, we've never waited this long before.
I must find time to visit more often. For April, I am planning on planning our wedding. How's that for a plan?! Ha...we'll see how far we get!
Loving the give away...when does it end?
We have planned to just be outside as much as possible, now that spring seems to have started showing :) I love your jewelry.
Family coming to visit and some fun outings to the park. We just had baby #3 so we are taking it easy for a while!
Happy Sunday! You are giving away a wonderful necklace. I love that look!
Actually, my fun thing for April is with a few of my closest friends. We are traveling to another state for a "Flower Show!" It is outdoors and the displays are gorgeous. There are all kinds of vendors with hand made items of every type! I have to save for a year in order to take this trip! There are also several building you can choose to go in and see flower artist's particular designs and setups. Thanks,Cindi
jchoppes[at]hotmail[dot]com
you're right...they are so perfect...i would love to hang one of these around my neck.
something exciting happening in april? well, i am hoping to get a new job at our church. i am currently pretty unhappy where i am working (well unhappy that i have to work at all, i would love to stay home with my babe 7 days a week, but financially...that is just not possible right now), and hope to get a chance to work at our church. i think i will be MUCH HAPPIER there!
thanks for the contest!

Not much fun going on, my oldest daughter does have a Science Olympiad competition & another dance competition that we are excited about.
My mom is coming for a visot and we will go to the zoo and the local spring fair
This is beautiful!! Our plan for this month is to look for a new house!
wiredalive at hotmail dot com
Turning off the computer, cell phone and going off to a local farm to feed the chickens, pick fresh flowers, and pick strawberries. We ended the adventure by eating some of the farms fresh homemade ice cream. Who would know this farm is in the middle of Austin, Texas. Boggy Creek farms with my husband Howard, daughter Luci and son Curt. Now that was the "Little things" and fun thing to do in April in Texas.
I am going to start looking for a new home in Co. so my daughter has a better home to play and live in! Thanks
My fun April event is that we can start going to the farmers market again! YAY!
Well it is my 30th birthday some wouldn't condsider that fun but I DO! I hope my hubby plans something romantic if not maybe I will win this beautiful necklace!
They're beautiful!!! So far nothing really is planned for April... with the exception of moving, paying off a credit card (wooooo!) and visiting my sister and the coast! I guess I did have something good planned!
Waaw, I love this contest, hopefully I win. Well, my son (6) has joined the swimteam and will be swimming his first home swimmeet together with his big sister, who knows the ropes already!!!
Thanks for the great give away!
This week is spring break for us and we are headed to the beach in a couple of days for some fun in the sun.
a wedding shower for my cousin ashley!
From palm trees to pine trees. We are moving from California to Georgia. We are looking forward to enjoying the journey ahead.
What a beautiful design! I love the rounded edges of the squares...softens it, but the squares still give it a bit of "backbone" and structure. (: My exciting April adventure will be a trip into The City with friends (San Francisco, about an hour's drive south of me) on the 13th for the 2nd Annual SF Chocolate Salon at Fort Mason. All the chocolate I can taste! I can't wait. I'm a huge chocoholic. Sending you spring flowers and sunshine for your week!
-Kat
Fun for me is to be able to go outside, now that the weather is changing, and go walking and work in my yard!
lovely jewellry - one fun thing that I am doing is going to a quilt retreat!
April for me will be a month of reconnecting with family. I'm looking forward to celebrating Earth Day with a festival downtown.
I really love your jewelery designs. My best friend lost her 3 month old baby boy suddenly to SIDS (2 weeks ago)and I think this would be the most amazing little gift for her. I've been looking for something small to give her...I would give it to her if I won. Thanks!
Love your jewelry. My fun event for April is the March for Babies Walk(used to be March of Dimes)to Help fight Premature Birth. As a mother of BBG triplets born at 27 weeks 5 days, this event is near and dear to my heart. It's a great cause and a fun day. I look forward to it every year, as my way of giving back.
You create such lovely things! Our fun thing is that I'm taking my 2 grown girls and my wee granddaughter to Cali (we are in the midwest) to visit my parents whom we see once a year. It will be the first time that my mom and dad will meet their 4mo old great granddaughter (their first gg'daughter!) -- so that's a very fun thing! lol. My grandmother will be there also (M is her gg-granddaughter of course and also her only one). Very exciting!
Thanks for the giveaway!

Our fun April event will be...It's our daughter's birthday this month, so we will head over to Disneyland and then SURPRISE the kids (she has a brother)...with a night at a hotel near Disneyland, even though we live only 45 minutes from there, a stay at a hotel is always loads of FUN !!!!Can't wait, I'll pack the night night before and hide the suitcase in the trunk...SHHHHHHH !!!!
Lovely jewelry!! Hmmm something planned for April? Not much other than maybe a movie or two in the theaters. :(
LOTS of birthday parties!
My husband and I are celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary this month--that is "my something fun" scheduled for April. I think it will be a simple event like going out to a nice, quiet dinner. It is our tradition to celebrate special occasions at Gardens of Avila (Sycamore Mineral Springs) in Avila Beach, CA.
It will really mean a lot this year since we now have TWO small children ages: 3 years and 6 months. Since the baby arrived, we rarely get a moment for the two of us to spend time together--Plus, my husband just finished working a 60+ day outage at Diablo Canyon power plant, (meaning LOTS of overtime!) and we are starved for some quality moments.
As the years go by, we realize how important it is to pour into our realationship and make that special time for eachother. How blessed I am to be married to my best friend!
The most exciting thing I can think of is happening this month.. my beautiul baby boy is turing ONE.. i am so excited but almost in tears at the same time... he is growing too darn fast!!!
I added the giveaway to Prize-a-Tron as well!
http://www.prizeatron.com
The necklace is beautiful.
Our family is going to see Walking with the Dinosaurs this weekend. We've heard great things about the show and are excited that it came to our town!
tigerjennv at yahoo dot com
Besides soccer (which pretty much takes over the month of April), we have spring break. I think I'll take my kids to a play, to the tulip festival and maybe a museum.
We've already done some fun for April, we just got back from Arizona, visiting friends and the Grand Canyon! Other than that our fun will probably include visiting Grandma and Grandpa and playing in the park with friends (my son is 1).
we are on spring break this week so that is really fun considering my husband and i are both teachers!! also, we live in kentucky so during the last two weeks in april we are surrounded by kentucky derby festivals!! love, love, love the necklace!!
It's Fiesta Time in San Antonio. Hoping to make a few events this year with our adopted daughter...
Thanks for the chance to win!
A big fan of your work...
Lisa
Starting the garden. This is my nieces favorite thing to do. She can't wait to start digging in the garden for worms and planting seeds and eating strawberries.
Lovely! I'm thinking hard of something fun scheduled for April...well, I'm going with my Mother-in-law to a Craft show at the end of April beginning of May...Hooray!
dbstout[at]juno[dot]com

Seeing lots of family for Passover. Good food, fun and matzah :)
Thanks for the beuatiful giveaway.
April in the desert is time to enjoy being outside. And a trip to visit friends we left behind when we moved here. And The Wiggles in concert!
Hands down the most fun part of my April is my trip out of town with my toddler to visit my twin sister. I miss her so!
opening the windows, sidewalk chalk, bike rides, fresh flowers & friday family fun nights. =)
I just found your new website and blog and I'm enjoying every bit of it. Your family is "beautiful" and your blog actually made me cry. You are a true inspiration! One fun thing planned for April is that our business (ran by my husband and me) was nominated for "Small Business of the Year". We will find out at the end of April at our local business expo if we will win. We feel blessed to just be nominated and consider that an honor in itself. I look forward to reading your blog and learning about the new jewerly you design. Keep up the wonderful work. I'm working on an order for my Mom and Grandmother for Mother's Day. I'm trying to find the best words that describe them.
Thanks again for the inspiration!
Jill
