I love the Bloom one! It's gorgeous and reminds us to always shine where we're planted! :-)
I found your blogsite about a month or two ago, and have thoroughly enjoyed sharing your family's journey along the way. Thank you for sharing with all of us. I especially love the pictures of your children. They are lovely boys.
You are so talented! So many new designs lately! I would have to go with the Bloom one too- it just looks so... happy! I also have a pattern named Bloom that has kinda paved the way for my business, so it is a special word for me.
I love the Fly one. My son will touch the necklaces I wear to hold, focus, and calm himself during a tantrum time. And he loves birds and everything that flies, so I think he'd like that one best.
You're sense/ style is amazing.
the heart one made me melt! i love them all (oh my goodness, lisa!!)--the star, the bird. but the heart one "i hold your heart in mine" is so how i feel about amanda. i'm holding her heart in my heart until i can hold her in my arms. i love her and haven't even met her yet!!
I love, love, love "I hold your heart in mine." As an adoptive mom of a little boy still on the other side of the world, I feel like part of me is missing every time someone asks about my three kids (the ones already with me!). I wish I had a little sign that explained that there's another little person in my heart.
I love the heart one! It is so true when you have children it seems that everything they do melts your heart. You feel so close to them that they are part of you. Love the design! LOVE IT!
All you work is very beautiful.

My favorite one is "I hold your heart in mine." My 4.5 yr old son had open heart surgery 6 mons ago. My heart will never be the same~ his is better than ever! The gift is having what could have been lost, and those who shared their skills to make him better.
I admire your work because of the simplicity of it. Thank you for sharing your talents!
I absolutly love the bloom one! It is simple, and I think it is a great way to keep "spring" with you all through the fall and winter! I am always amazed at your work!
SPARKLE-
Our 10 year old daughter (only girl with 3 brothers) still has "sparkles" left in her hair from the tooth fairy from a week ago. So glad that she still "lets" the tooth fairy come. This reminds me to enjoy this time with her, before she grows up and decides she is too old for these things.
I have you on my wish list. I love your designs.
I love "Bloom". It's so sweet! I think it makes me think of my kids and how much what I do everyday allows them to grow!
Oh my goodness- how exciting. I was soooo sad not to win Kristi's giveaway.
I LOVE them all! But I think I'd either want the "Hold your Heart in Mine" or the "Sparkle" one...though they are all divine!!! Thank you- hope I win!
oh, lisa ... your creativity never ceases to amaze me!
i'd have to say my favorite is the Bloom one. :)
The "wings" one is so great! I just was thinking last night what a great metaphor birds/wings are - about soaring, flying, etc. I really like that one.
I love your jewelry. I wish I was as talented as you! I hope to be wearing one of your creations one day!! I love the "heart one" for sure...I love my little boy soooo much (we waited a long time for him) and anything that portrays love reminds me of him because he is so special to me. I love it all!!
Oh my... I love love love them all.. .but the one that made me cry was the I hold your heart in mine.. My daughter is going through a really tough time right now and has chosen to take it out on her father and I... and it hurts.... I miss her :(
i think sparkle is absolutely adorable. i love how you put a period after each one - so cute! i also love the heart one!
I can see why you're enjoying making these...... how fun!
My favorite is you have wings. I have two boys that are 14 and almost 13. I also have a 2 1/2 year old girl. I guess it's the stretch of time in between them, that stops me from time to time to make me realize how fast they grow and how much I want them to use their time wisely.
I wish for my boys to use every single piece of knowledge they can soak up right now as I know that the time is coming for them to fly. It happens so fast..... I promise you, they were just 2 1/2 yesterday. I hope I'm giving them all they need for the day they leave our nest and build their own. I love them.
My favorite is the heart one, but as a gift to my daughter I would give her the fly one! How perfect! You are a truly fabulous artist!
absolutely incredible. so so incredible. I love them all! Mostly I just love you.
You are such a talented lady! I love the "hold your heart" one. So precious!
I'm hoping that all the hints I leave for my husband will result in a mother's necklace for Christmas this year!
I've been wanting to comment...I've enjoyed your blog. The beauty of your jewelry, along with its simplicity, truly refreshes my spirit.
I have an idea for a necklace. The main piece would be a rounded square, the charm would be in the shape of a child and the word would be "hope." That would be the word that symbolizes my year this year.
They are all beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Gotta go with bloom...i love flowers. They just make me happy.
My favorite is the Sparkle one because I love stars and sparkly things :)
Oh, yeah, Bloom for sure is the best. Phillip gave me a plant right after I had Zak. He said that if it started to die he'd have to keep a closer eye on our son! (BTW, the plant died and Zak is totally fine.)
Well, I love ..."I hold your heart in mine." It is simply endearing. It reminds me that my loved ones are close...even when they may not be right there--i.e. travelling, school, or just a fact of living far away. And at the same time, it puts a hint to be sweet..be kind..be considerate to those that our close to us. Their hearts are in our hands. Kinda like a bumper sticker..Only way more attractive and sassier. hee hee. Wonderful new creation!
I love the "Sparkle" one, because it says to me that everything has a bright side, and I also love the "You have wings to fly", because to me that means that if you look for the good things you can always "fly" forward and make things better than they orginally looked. Thank you as always for giving us the opportunity to win one of your beautiful works of are!!!!
Love your designs!!
Okay but my favorite is the heart, except I would dream about it having the names of my five sweeties on it!
If I don't get it in the giveaway, I will have to drop hints to my husband~~
I like Fly. I have a friend I would give it to as a gift.
Why is it that you have so many comments when you give something away?
Lisa, I enjoy reading your blog. I gives me a glimpse into your world.
love the hearts, reminds me of my boys. again, you work is wonderful and making me broke!!!! your work is so inspiring to me! true talent!!!~sherilyn
I love the, I hold your heart in mine necklace. It reminds me of the poem by E.E Cummings. The Poem is I carry your heart with me. My favorite part of the poem is,"here is the deepest secret nobody knows, here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide, and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart, I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart." This is my favorite poem and it was read at my wedding this past June! What a beautiful expression of love.
Your new necklaces are beautiful. God has blessed you with a wonderful talent. I think they are all wonderful but the one that spoke to me was bloom. It made me think of my daughter who is blooming from a little girl into a young lady. I think I may have to get this for her birthday, as a reminder how she is blooming and I want her to continue to grow and blossom into the person God created her to be!
I am having a tough time deciding if I like "bloom" or "hold your heart in mine" better. I really like both of them so much.
I can't quite remember how I came across your blog originally, but I've been reading daily for a few weeks or so. I'm enjoying it!!
I love the bloom necklace! It is so gorgeous! You are so talented! I love that it has a daisy, that is my favorite flower! :)
Hmmm, this is pretty hard because they are all so nice. I really love the little bird, but I'd say "Bloom," because I really believe in doing our best with the circumstances we are given. I also try to work on being content with how things are and not always wishing for something to change.
don't add me to the drawing b/c i already won a necklace from you, but these are amazing! love the bloom and wings one. you are so creative.
Now it's hard to choose even 2 faves since they are all so special. You must be in a creative frenzy! My daughter loves stars, it is her "logo". She puts them on everything. So I am partial to the Sparkle one as well as the I hold your heart in mine. So precious.
I love coming to your site. You inspire me. The one I love would be BLOOM. I immediately thought of my little guy. He has been planted in our home (adoption) and we hope with all our might and prayers that he will overcome choices that were made for and done to him before he was even born to BLOOM in this life. You are amazing!
hello again!
well, as much as i would love one of these(mostly the heart one) my vote goes for jewelrylady. one day i will wear one of your beautiful necklaces!!!! i promise!!!!

I love the "hold your heart in mine" one. It made me think of my sweet sister-in-law who just found out she's pregnant with her first baby, our first niece or nephew, and the first grandbaby on both sides! Yay! Perhaps a good gift!
Well, I have to be honest... as much as I would love to win one, I can't help but think of Kristen Borland and your sis Chrissie as they wait for their precious girls to join their families. "I hold your heart in mine" just says it so perfectly for both of them!
i have to say my favorite is bloom! reminds me of spring which i always love. love them all...really!
I want the "I hold your heart in mine." My little man is gone. Oh to hold him again and feel his heart beat. For now, his heart is beating within mine. (Thank you for your beautiful jewelry. Hopefully I will gift myself some for Christmas.)
I love sparkle. It immediately made me think of my four year old. Her personality just sparkles. She's sweet and mothering and stubborn and snuggly and an entertainer - there's always a sparkle of fairy dust around her in my eyes.
I love the star, sparkle one! My maiden name was starr and always a fun one to use for word play! Gorgeous new designs as always.
I am in love with Sparkle.
All of them are awesome, but sparkle really just reminds me to be positive and to shine to others.
love it.
They are all so beautiful, but I especially like the Bloom one because it reminds of my daughter who is simply blooming lately! Just before summer, her hearing impairment was finally diagnosed sufficiently to figure out what to do and the decision was made to try a hearing aid. What an incredible change! She has bloomed -- she's more outgoing, funny, sweet and never complains about wearing the aid. She just started kindergarten and is truly an amazing little girl.
I like the bloom one the best. Such a simple concept and a simple design to match! All your new designs are beautiful!
I love the "I hold Your Heart in mine" says everything i feel for my baby girl.
Love the new designs.
I love the Sparkle necklace. I have volunteered for Make-A-Wish for six years and the star reminds me of their logo. Your work is amazing and it just keeps getting better and better.
I love them all. Bloom inspires me at this moment because it reminds me of my logo. It makes me feel like getting my mojo back after losing my uncle, father, grandmother, father-in-law and selling our childhood home in the past six months.
so talented! I don't know which one is my favorite... The Fly one?? No... the Bloom...
All of them ;0)
Blessings,
Karla
Hi, I love reading your blog about your jewelry, family, and just fun stuff. You are definately a source of inspiration. My favorite is for sure "I hold your heart in mine". As soon as I read it, I thought about my sister-in-law. She is a stay at home mom. And because they as a family have made this a priority...she sacrifically doesn't get to buy herself fun fun stuff! Though my brother has a nice job,she cleans houses to make extra money for fun things. Most every penny of that goes to her children...for clothes, trips, and activities. She is one of the best moms I know. She cares about every small detail in her children's growth (physically, educationally, socially, morally, and especially spiritually. I would love to win this give away so I could honor my sister-in-law, April, for giving sacrificially for her family!
Ooooooohhh, the SPARKLE one is my very most FAVORITE!!!!! It's just so simple and fun!
oh, sorry, I just wanted to leave my blog address (last week I featured your jewelry...because it's soo cute!)

Lisa, I have enjoyed your site so much. I was diagnosed with cancer in December while pregnant with my third child and I could relate so deeply with your post about the little girl asking about David's hand and how it was "scary". I have experienced those same perceptions while having chemo during my pregnancy. David and Mattie are beautiful boys and you are such an inspiration! I love your outlook on life and your jewelry designs. It would be hard to choose just one! I am hoping to order pieces once my medical bills are paid off...or at least paid down.
Thank you for letting us have a glimpse into your life. Wishing you continued success!
Your work is wonderful. I am the proud owner of one of your necklaces, given to me from a friend. My favorite one this time is the bloom necklace. Flowers are one of my favorite things and I tend to incorporate a lot of them in my own art.
Fly and Sparkle!
I love them all really, but those are my favorites!
I think Sparkle and Bloom are the best... they can be a message to ourselves or to the world around us!
I love the heart necklace. I was 31 when I had my first and only child, Brenden. He is always in my heart and my mind. He is the biggest influence on all my choices. Your heart necklace reminds me of that.
I love the heart! Another great design!
Hi Lisa !
I love the BLOOM one !
It is so inspiring to see that everything we plan will bloom in a way.
It is the perfect neckless for a new year just around the corner.
:)
Rita Correa
SO hard to choose just one. I would have to say bloom though. Love the designs and the thought you put into them!
Oh Lisa! You are amazing! I am almost afraid to come to your blog because I want to keep buying! :)
I don't think I can pick between 2 favs. One is bloom and the other is the heart one. The reason I really like these is because they can be thought of on more than one level. They are darling and whimsical in an of themselves, but as a mom with four children in my garden, four hearts in mine, they also make me think of my responsiblity to these precious ones God has given dh and me. We have a responsibility to bloom ourselves and nurture them to bloom as well. We also do hold their hearts, which is an awesome responsibility.
Very cool designs! :)
Oh, they are all amazing! If I had to choose, it would probably be "sparkle!"
I love the one that says sparkle! I feel like my family is finally in an upswing in life and I am so excited to just sparkle. I have so much gratitude and joy right now that I feel like that word defines exactly what my heart looks like, like I'm sparkling.
I love them ALL! You are so incredibly talented, do you ever sell at stores? I love the heart one best, followed by the sparkle. I can see the love for your boys in your work and its sweetly amazing.
My favorite is the "I hold your heart in mine". I think as a mom, that is exactly what we do with our little ones. A really endearing quote!
Second comes bloom--I am a lover of flowers!
They are all extremely lovely though. You do beautiful work.
I love them all, and I can't help thinking that they would be a perfect setting for my favorite quote - though to fit, it probably would have to say "beauty of dreams" - My quote is:
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. -Elanor Roosevelt
However, I think my favorite is "Fly". Last week when you posted the "What's your word" giveaway I said that my words were "healing" and "courage"... well, this week the Lord healed me and I feel that there is a world of possibilities out there now - I feel like "I have wings to fly".
i know someone who would so appreciate the "hold your heart in mine"--she has serious "heart" trouble in her family right now.
I love the Bloom necklace - it looks like the flower is inside a present to me. You do such beautiful work and have a great family! Thanks for sharing!
I have to go with I hold your heart in mine, for many reasons. I lost both my parents the year of 2005 so I hold there heart in mine and for my son, who has shown me the world in a whole new way. He has been through so much and is so happy and cheerful it is hard to have a bad day around him. I love him so much that it hurts. He had some heart troubles at birth but is now fine but I would have given my heart if I had to. Wait! he already has it. My husband also with whom I would be lost without. Tracy
I love the Wings to Fly.....Very inspirational :)
Who wouldn't want any of these? However, the moment I saw each one I was drawn to the Sparkle. It has such a fun and light-hearted feel to it. In a house of all boys, I try to add a bit of sparkle to our everyday!
I love the Bloom necklace! We move around a lot and I have to remember to get out and get active wherever we are at. If I don't, I withdraw into myself which is unhealthy. This is especially important with my 5 year old, because I always want her to be happy and "bloom" no matter where you are.
I'm a fan of the one that says "Bloom" I love flowers & just always reminds me to "bloom" right where the Lord has me. You are SO talented.
My favorite is bloom... I have a thing for daisies after seeing a poster once that said "be your own kind of beautiful" featuring a daisy among a bouquet of roses. Bloom where you are planted... be your own kind of beautiful.
I think that they are all beautiful. However I love the "I hold your heart in mine". The minute I read it I thought of my family, especially my husband. I don't know if I beleive in the one, but I think that if I did he would be it. We seem to be the perfect match and super connected. I just love that statement and I think it describes our relationship so well.
My favourite is "you have wings to fly". It's very inspiring and the moment I read it reminded me of a song that I love that says "we all have wings but some of us don't know why".
Your work is really amazing, I love everything!
i love "sparkle", sooooo cute! (love the idea of sparkling i guess!)
I'm a hopeless romantic so i would choose the "I hold your heart in mine" one, it is so beautiful
Lisa...I found your blog through Rocks in My Dryer "bloggy giveaways" and have been reading your blog since. I ADORE your creativity and style of jewelry! Was just showing off your stuff to my hubby today (giving him ideas since it's almost my bday) and I just LOVE the "I hold your heart in my hands"...your new pieces are incredible! Good for you, I love it that you are a WAHM of 2 sweet boys! God bless!! :)
forgot the "why" part...the heart necklace reminds me of how I feel about my sweet hubby of 8 yrs!! :D
Definitely, the bloom one - it reminds me of all of the people in my life that I continue to see growing and "blooming" in maturity and grace.
Wow, I love the bloom and sparkle necklaces for their simplicity. Bloom is so awesome because I love the geometric...yet organic look to it.
I love the new hand hammered line. What great talent you have.
I love the sparkle one with the star. Reminds me of my dad who to me is a star shining down from Heaven.

I love I hold your heart in mine. It makes me think of all of the friends I left behind when my husband I moved. I never thought I would have friends like them and it breaks my heart that we are so far apart. I miss them every day!
I love the bird and heart...and I can't decide which I like better. I think the bird necklace has such a beautiful message, which would be a gentle reminder every time one puts the necklace on. The heart necklace is just sweet and precious, and would be best given to a mother, wife, loved one...to remind them of how much they are loved.
I love the bloom pendant. How beautiful. It is simple and inspiring at the same time.
You have a wonderful gift. I would love to be able to make beautiful jewelry like that
Wings to Fly is my favorite! My dream is that all my boys will have the ability to fly on their own. God willing.
What fabulous charms! Now I have to get another necklace! I still get tons of compliments from the open circle you made me! You are truly talented!
Thank you!!!!!!
I hold your heart in mine spoke to me personally and immediately. My daughter has special needs and we often wonder what the future will hold for her. It is a miracle that she is here with us today and we are so thankful for this blessing. I hold her heart in mine everyday....
HI hi hi! I would soooo loooove to win! My FAVORITE is I hold your heart in mine because I KNOW that this is real. I've been preaching it to the ones I love around me who are up and down in love, and I've been telling them when its real YOU KNOW IT! I have the most faith in love, and the worlds heart in mine as well, which is part os my ever lasting faith! This is SUCH a ME message its amazing! I LOVE IT! I would wear it EVERYDAY ! :) Thanks for th
Sparkle reminds me of my daughter Holly. She is the sparkle of our family. Also she made the kid's ensemble chior at our church today and is thrilled.
Okay - guess I didn't read the whole post :) Didn't know it was a contest. I think I like bloom best, that has been our family motto -bloom where you are planted. Make the best out of everything God gives you! It is all a blessing.
Lisa, I just found your site today through Joy at Joy in the Journey. Seeing the beautiful necklace that's on its way to her made me run to your site... I oohed and aahed all the way through your photos on the link she shared. I love your talent, and the meaning that can be represented behind each piece. Beautiful, tender work. My favorite is Bloom. That one strikes a chord with me because my sweet mom said goodbye to her mother 4 months ago when she went to be with Jesus after a long battle with cancer. My Mom's maiden name was Bloom, hence this necklace would be so special to her as a memory and sweet reminder of her mother and friend.
I love the sparkle one. It's plain and simple, just the way i like it. it has so much wisdom in it. It's so important to sparkle: you look better, feel better and make others feel better when you sparkle.
I think the Bloom one is my favorite, but I've already changed my mind five times so that may change in a minute! They are all so lovely! Thank you for sharing so much beauty with us!
I just love the heart, as I will always hold John's heart in mine. It's the one thing that no one can ever take from me and that will never change. I also love how God holds my heart in his. I'm always feeling his love and grace surrounding me. Love it Lisa!!!! ~Shannon
I love the first one- sparkle. I just love the shape of the star & it is so cheery and encouraging. Great work Lisa!
Bloom for sure would be my favorite!!!! I am moving soon , uprooting 5 kids, off on a new and fun adventure, full of excitement, and fear, and a bit of trepidation. I want to, as they say, BLOOM where I am planted. Make an impact for my savior, and cieze the day for him!
Love them. My favorite is "Bloom" It is simple and sweet. Can I vote for two??? The Isaacs and the Jewelry Lady touched my heart. Love you.
I love the "I hold your heart in mine" necklace.
I just found your blog and I just LOVE your designs.
I have a granddaughter, Lilybeth, who has some severe heart issues. She is only 6 months old and the light of my life. Lilybeth will be undergoing heart sugery in 3 weeks... i would love to have something to "hold onto" while she is in surgery.
Thank you for sharing your boys, they are just precious.

As always, I love them all. Sparkle is my favorite. Short, simple, and SASSY!
I think my favorite is "I hold your heart in mine", and if I win I would give it to my Sister in Law who gave birth to my niece almost a month ago. My niece was diagnosed with hydrocephauls in utero at 16 weeks, and has been in the NICU ever sincer her birth. Right now, although we can't hold her and play with her as we like, we hold her heart and pray for her health.
I also love the "wings" as it reminds me of my beautiful daughter Jenelle, who is so very close to walking, and often appears as if she were to take flight any moment in her attempts to walk.
I love your jewelry, it is beautiful!
106- wow!
It would be the "you have wings to fly" of course :-)
but they are all very beautiful. your so talented.
Bloom... it reminds me that feeling good about life starts with feeling good inside yourself. I have times when feeling happy and optimistic can be a struggle but when I feel things starting to get happy inside it feels like I am blooming.
Your designs are so lovely... thanks for sharing all your images.
I love the heart in your hand. It reminds me of how I feel when I look at my two boys. They warm me with their smiles and crush me with their tears and every morning I wake up loving them more!
Sparkle...and You have Wings to Fly. These are the ones that caught my eye. Lisa, I love all of your stuff so much. I always go and look at your site every couple of days. I am hoping to start a collection. Every single time I wear your necklace (with the photos) I get compliments. So keep them coming...your boys are adorable....
Trina
Hi Lisa,
Wow they are all wonderful. I really like 2 of them, both for the same reasons. My son Nicholas passed away at 8 days old in 2005 & of course I hold his heart in mine & he has wings to fly.
Lovely stuff.
Dawn Elkins
Oh, sparkle is my favorite for sure. I just had foot surgery, found out today there is an infection and hate the crutches. Sigh. I don't feel too sparkly -- I could use some! Love that one!
Am I too late?
I love Fly and Bloom the most. Bloom because I've always said I'm a "bloom where you're planted kind of girl" and like that about myself. Fly to continue to inspire myself to reach for my dreams. :)
Your designs really have a great feel...very bright, fun, lighthearted but important.
I absolutely love the "hold your heart in mine". It is beautiful! I have 3 children, and they are my reason for getting up every day. I value and cherish each moment that we spend together--and the sweet verse on this necklace is just PERFECT!! I adore it!! Great job! Stunning jewelry!
Wings to fly is my favorite. The perfect message to anyone!
