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

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!

opening the windows, sidewalk chalk, bike rides, fresh flowers & friday family fun nights. =)
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!
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!
Seeing lots of family for Passover. Good food, fun and matzah 🙂
Thanks for the beuatiful giveaway.
this necklace is fabulous. i planned my April summer to spend with my boyfriend at beach and go to tourist spots in some places we never been to. hope i’ll win! yanyan_140[at]yahoo[dot]com
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!

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.
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…

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!!
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).
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.
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!

I added the giveaway to Prize-a-Tron as well!

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!
LOTS of birthday parties!
Lovely jewelry!! Hmmm something planned for April? Not much other than maybe a movie or two in the theaters. 🙁
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 !!!!
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!

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.
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!
lovely jewellry – one fun thing that I am doing is going to a quilt retreat!
Fun for me is to be able to go outside, now that the weather is changing, and go walking and work in my yard!
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!

From palm trees to pine trees. We are moving from California to Georgia. We are looking forward to enjoying the journey ahead.
a wedding shower for my cousin ashley!
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.
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!
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!
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!
My fun April event is that we can start going to the farmers market again! YAY!
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
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.
This is beautiful!! Our plan for this month is to look for a new house!

My mom is coming for a visot and we will go to the zoo and the local spring fair
Not much fun going on, my oldest daughter does have a Science Olympiad competition & another dance competition that we are excited about.
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!

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

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!
We have planned to just be outside as much as possible, now that spring seems to have started showing 🙂 I love your jewelry.
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?
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.
Connor’s first birthday is in April!! What is more fun than that?
🙂
I add this to prizeatron today too.

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!!
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.

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.
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!!;)
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. 😉
I’ll be finishing Liz Gilbert’s great read “Eat,Pray,Love”
Very inspirational!

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!
Love those charms!
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, 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.
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. 😉
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.
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!
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!)
Your jewelry is beautiful! My fun event for April is redecorating my daughters room.
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.
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!
My daughters first birthday! I can’t believe she will be 4!! LOVE the necklace!
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!
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.
Love it! My twins, Connor and Chloe, will be baptized April 12th. And, their names would look great on this necklace {wink}.
Jennie
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 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!
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.
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!!!

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…..”
🙂

I love your work and enjoy your blog! Thanks for the daily inspiration.
Lisa
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!! 🙂
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!
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.
Lisa, these are beautiful! Something fun for April….well, we’re headed to Cabo with our entire family…10 kids and 8 adults…wahoo!
taking our little guy to the zoo –before it gets too hot here in sunny Florida. 🙂
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
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!
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!!!

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!
Getting to play outside again!!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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 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!
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!!
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!
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! 🙂
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 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 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
Our fun task for the month which Im sure will take us a month is getting our little guys nursery together.
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.
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.
We have April traditions and they are going to the baseball games with the family and tailgating in the parking lot. GO ANGELS!!!!!!!!!!!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
[email protected]
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!)
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!
April…baseball games, volleyball games and flag football games. Where has my life gone!?
Not to the birds…but to the KIDS!!!
Kerri
Plano, TX
There is only one thing scheduled for April around here… to FIND SPRING! It seems to have disappeared somewhere. BEE-autiful necklace!!!
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!
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.
Judy
What 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
What a beautiful necklace! Our fun event in April is to see the Cherry Blossoms in DC! What fun!
What a great necklace! We will be flying a kite, going to the park and enjoying being outside without snow pants (hopefully soon – we received 6 more inches of snow yesterday).
Hooray another contest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have our first baseball game of the season planned for April 15! Indians vs Red Sox! Should be a very interesting game! We have treated our family this year and have tickets for every month of the season, plus we want to get to some other cities to see our team play!
My fun thing planned is watching and supporting my sister as she runs The Boston Marathon on April 21st. She has been raising money for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. She will be running towards the ultimate finish line….a world without cancer!!!!!!!
-Gretchen mom to W& L, proud sister of MB
My fun this month is Inspired Artist Workshop that Donna Downey is hosting. Can’t wait. The necklace is fabulous. Great blog. Thank you!
Sherry Mescher
Fun for me in April will be lots of Baseball! Baseball practice for my daughter and my son followed by games! They love it!
What a great necklace! This month is a busy one…next weekend is a wedding shower for my cousin, the following weekend is a baby shower for my sister-in-law and the weekend after that is my cousins wedding which I’m singing in. No rest for the wicked I guess 😉
That is a beautiful necklace. Love it.
I’m heading off to Utah and then to Arizona to visit family and meet some new friends and then back to Utah for a daughter’s university graduation. Can life get any better than that?!?
Fun activity for April … I’m going to …
Work like I don’t need the money, love like I’ve never been hurt, and dance like no one is watching (and keep reading one of my best blogs … http://lisaleonard.blogspot.com/
Necklace is spectacular! Fun thing for April – weekend away with my husband! Off to Sydney to see Billy Elliott and the Princess Diana dress exhibit at the Powerhouse Museum. Time for us, cannot wait!!
LOVING this necklace! I have a couple of of celebrations planned. Both my husband and oldest daughter (14) have birthdays and my mother-in-law is coming to town to see our new baby girl (three weeks old today) – YAY!
What a cute & sassy necklace! I just love it 🙂 This April I am going to do the thing I look forward to the most all year long.. Spring Clean. I just love to take the time to organize my life 🙂 It seems to be the only downtime for me all year long 🙂
I’m going on a mini break this week-end. All on my own. Something I’ve beein waiting a loooong time for.
thursday night farmer’s market downtown, hiking in the park with all the wildflowers, picnics at the park, yard sales, getting dirt under my fingernails, sewing, and begging my husband for one of your necklaces for mother’s day! 🙂
My fun event is a trip to Aruba that I earned for free for me and my husband with my business. This is a HUGE event in our household, as my husband and I have not been away since our honeymoon just about 10 years ago. 🙂 WOW!
that is so kind of you!!
We have several fun things planned for April:
*I am heading up to Bergen in Norway, to take Celine Navarros class!jeeeej!! I can’t wait!
*One of my friends is coming to our town to have aa class, and I get to hang with her!!
*We are leaving to Prague, from Saturday til tuesday, with almost all of my co-workers and spouses.

My sister and her family are heading out here to spend a week with me. I am so excited to see my niece and nephew Saturday – you would think I am a kid too! (Btw, your jewelry is beautiful).
The Tulip Festival north of Seattle is our April outting. Beautiful petals, fields of color and appreciating the beauty all around.
Oh – you are so sweet!
My fun thing for April isn’t really for me. My parents are traveling to China, which is kind of a big event for the whole family. They are both hard working, so they really deserve this break. And me… I’m just happy being able to sit outside reading in the sun after the long winter:)
Looking forward to April? Yes, indeedy, I am!
In 3 weeks my hubby and I finally get to meet our Little One {by ultrasound} for the first time, which is immensely exciting. We had been trying for a number of years to get pregnant and so this baby is especially meaningful and hoped for.
Our fun event for me and my kids is in early May. We are traveling to Nebraska for my oldest nieces high school graduation. Yes they are out of school May 3rd! Will be fun to see lots of cousins we haven’t seen in awhile! Love the new necklace and I can’t wait to see your website! I’m still waiting for you in Mission Viejo!

My hubby is going to do a getaway with the guys and I’m hopefully going to get to do one with the girls.
Love the little charms! 🙂
I’m a Stampin’ Up! Demo and here in Australia our catalogue runs April to March so today I’ve put in my first catalogue order and now I get all the fun of waiting and unwrapping the parcel when it arrives!
It doesn’t sound like much to other people but to me it’s like a Christmas everytime i get a new order in the mail!
So hurry up mailman and bring me Christmas in April!
My husband was looking over my shoulder as I was on your website. He saw your design for April and commented that he likes it. Fun thing(s)for April? Vicariously, I will enjoy Disneyland when our 12 year old goes with our church’s youth group. I can hardly wait to hear about it. This weekend, we, as a family, will be going to a foster family retreat. It should be refreshing as well as a great time of networking with other fost/adopt parents.
April in Seattle – I’m hoping for blue skies and balmy winds, after a long, wet and cold winter.
And if that doesn’t happen, we have family birthday celebrations planned that will be sure to chase the clouds away.
Building a swingset!! Fun when it is finished anyway! 🙂
yikes…193 comments. Heres one more. Next weekend the women in my family are going on our annual shopping trip. We spend a small fortune, giggle like little girls, and eat way too much. It is perfect and lovely.
This is darling, and I would love to have it around my neck!
We are getting the sidewalk chalk out. Yep – all 24 colors! It’s a celebration since we haven’t seen the sidewalks (covered in ice and snow) in months! Love your work.
Carrie M. in Iowa
gorgeous gorgeous, gorgeous. I love your jewellery.
Fun thing for April: Tomorrow is April Fools Day right, so let’s start with a recipe I found to use pound cake, marshmallows and vanilla frosting dyed yellow to make ‘eggs & toast’ – the kids will love it. Then it’s off to see The Wiggles in concert. Yeah.
My fun for April… Visiting my sister in Florida to get away from all the snow in Utah and taking my three year old to Disney World for the first time. He is so excited!!!!
We’re goin’ to the zoo, zoo, zoo
How about you, you, you?
You can come too, too, too
We’re goin’ to the zoo, zoo, zoo.
we’re going thursday!
kite flying!!! Oh the joy to just take in some simple kite flying with the kids..they all love it.
And, I would love a free necklace, or even one that I have paid for, I just think I could get a free one first 🙂
love it – so fun!
For April – my brother and his two boys are here and will be here into the beginning of April for a ski trip. This is the first time I have seen any of my family in 7 months – this is so nice!
The rest of April, I am looking forward to warmth, sunshine, and hanging out with my kids. Our calendar is fairly wide open and I am so excited to have a month with not much on the schedule :o)
Love my ‘teeny-tiny’ necklace – love this new one too!
Great stuff, Lisa – always so fabulous!!
Alexandra
My friend Heather directed me to your site… what great jewelry! I used to make some myself, but I haven’t done it in awhile… You inspire me to get started again!
April is going to be a fun month for my family. The 16th is our 4th wedding anniversary, and later on in the month is my husband’s birthday. My husband was injured in Iraq a little over 2 years ago now and lost his right arm and left leg in an IED attack. Despite that we have managed to go to Ruth Chris for dinner every year (besides our first anniversary when he was overseas!) We are looking forward to this tradition again this year, but will have to hire a babysitter this time! We have a 10 month old daughter now- Whew! Life changes fast!
If I were to win your generous give away, I’ve got to be honest… I’d give it to my friend Heather. She’s been talking about your jewelry for awhile now, and every great Mom deserves something pretty to represent her family! I hope your April is just as fun as mine will be! Sorry for the long entry and congratulations on your successful business! Looks like you have lots of people admiring your work… 🙂
I am having my first daughter, Grace. That is scheduled too! April 7th will be a good day!
Just found your blog yesterday. Gorgeous necklace! My fun April is going to be my son’s wedding on the 19th! So looking forward to the gathering of family and friends!
chris p
Your designs are wonderful! I’m crossing my fingers to get one soon 😉 Fun event for april…what could be better than a wedding? My sister in law is getting married in two weeks!!
Yet another have to have!!
My fun for April will be the digging of a large hole to build our new home!! April will be the start of a 12 month adventure!!
I just adore your jewelry. Going to get a piece or two one day!!
Fun thing in April… Going to an all day Women’s Conference and then going to a Teddy Bear sleepover with my daughter’s Girl Scout troop! Quality big girl and little girl time. 🙂
Leslie
April…I have a trip to Canada planned…rest and relaxation…something everyone needs. Your jewelry is gorgeous!
A fun thing for me in April is meeting my 5 month old niece Hailey for the first time. Your jewelry is so beautiful!
My grandfather’s 85th birthday, my son’s 7th birthday, and my 39th birthday are within 3 days of each other so we are celebrating with a huge blowout by our pond. There will be bar-b-que, cake, horseshoes, sand volleyball, and much celebrating with friends and family. I can’t wait!
kristina
That necklace is pure sweetness as always, Lisa! Yay, I LOVE LOVE your giveaways!
Ok, my fun event would be walking in the March of Dimes walk with my sis/best friend for my (premie) nephews!! Plus, family photos taken at Picture People…if that doesn’t spell F-U-N then I don’t know what does!!! 😉 😀 Have a great day, Lisa!!
F-U-N => Family Up North
Hubby & I are gonna bring our ‘boys’ (a 7 month old hamster & a 5 weeks old guinea pig) on a road trip up north from where we are staying. 🙂 It’s gonna be a family bonding time heh heh because the guinea pig just joined the us less then a week ago. it’s gonna be hilarious having them around. Their hay/snacks/pellets/etc alone will take up the whole boot space ha ha We are seriously looking forward to that 🙂 You have a great April too! =)
My husband and I are going away this weekend to the Kane County Flea Market in St. Charles IL. If I don’t win the necklace, I’m ordering one. My step-daughter will love it.
I love this jewelry so much! There is just something sweet about wearing the names of my kids close to my heart! Our fun project for April is creating a canvas for our playroom. We just moved for the fourth time in three years in December and we are getting down to finishing each room.
Fun in April ~ helping plan a surprise 80th birthday party for my dad the first weekend in May. Love your blog, Lisa.
We are hoping to melt the last of the 96+ inches of snow we’ve had this winter and get our home ready to sell. Our kids are begging to out to walk and ride their bikes. We will relish the site of daffodils and tulips!
I love your necklaces! Something fun in April…I’m going to Donna Downey’s Inspired Artist event in North Carolina next weekend! I’m so excited-I can’t wait.
Jennifer
The fun thing I will be doing in April is attend my cousin’s wedding. The whole family will be there, it’s in a beautiful location at a really good restaurant. Can’t wait!
Well, let’s hope the rest of April is more fun than the beginning, and not following the lead of April 1st, not just known as April Fool’s Day, but also the day I have my first root canal! No joke!
I’m looking forward to warmer weather, and my parents and little brother coming to visit toward the end of the month. There’s nothing like being with family.
ok, could you stop with all the cute new ideas?! i have only been deciding which i want for, oh, a year now, and this is not very helpful! something fun for april…. camping trip/sean’s mtn. bike race! lov you!
I have been following your blog for several months and love reading your posts. The snows are melting, there are baby animals at nearby Drumlin Farm, so we plan to wear our rain boots and go squish, squish, squish through the mud around the farm. For my kids (ages 6, 4 and 4) those farm puddles are even more fun than visiting the animals. We are looking forward to grandma’s visit during school vacation week, and have plans to make many fairy houses in our back yard.
How sweet this necklace is! Something fun planned for April…how about 3 birthdays!?!
145 – I’m just sayin…
I am going to win a Lisa Leonard give-away this month…
For real…I hope to sleep a little bit this month.
Love the necklace…but that is no surprise. April will be a blast for me. The first weekend I’m off to our women’s retreat. My hubby surprised me with it as a gift. Then the third weekend I’m off on road-trip to Phoenix, AZ with some of the most fun ladies I know. We are all business partners and we are heading there for a conference. Two “all-girls” weekends in one month just can’t be beat. Top that off with a very special day at the end of the month (my step-sister’s wedding reception). We haven’t seen each other in years and I’m really looking forward to reconnecting with her. I have 4 kiddos so basically everyday is a fun day, but April will be particularly FUN and exciting!
I am giving a baby shower for my daughter-in-law who is expecting our grandson June 1st :*) CAN’T WAIT ~!!!!!
XOXO
My son starts baseball in April….just hoping we don’t have to wear out winter coats! I live in Iowa, and we are supposed to have snow this week!!!

April fun will be my first birthday as a Grandma! It will be my 50th birthday, but first one celebrated with a grandbaby! Also will be celebrated with my oldest son home, he’s a green beret, member of the 3rd Special FOrces group, and the rest of my family, truly FUN at its best, with those I love most! Includes a weimaraner and black lab in the family too!
I love this necklace! My fun thing for April: we sold our house yesterday and we’re moving at the end of the month….yeah!
I am going to be a grandma for the first time!! The baby shower is on April 13th and I can’t wait. Elle is scheduled to arrive on June 4th and she is already spoiled. I love her to pieces!!
Your stuff is so great!! I Love silver and u put your heart into your art!! Fun…April 18th going to see “The Boss” BRUCE SPRINGSTTEN In Fort Lauderdale, FL!!!! He is stll one of the best….and like your jewelery MADE IN THE USA!!! And really hot in his jeans!!!! Now that will make my April and May fun!!! 😉
I’m going to San Antonio, Tx to see my darling son graduate from Air Force Bootcamp!! My hubby and I are also celebrating our 24th anniversary 🙂 Woohoo!!

Love your jewelry. The exciting event we are looking forward to this April is camping in our new camper. Well, new to us, not so new really. If you are a Christmas Vacation fan, it sorta reminds you of Cousin Eddie’s R.V. ‘now don’t you go falling in love with it’ 🙂
What a great give away. My fun event for April will be taking car eof my two nephews so my sister and her husband can go away alone for the first time in 5 years.
Matter of fact, that is who this necklace would go to. My sister has two wonderful boys. She is such a great Mom and deserves something from the boys to say thanks.

I’m looking forward to an April trip with my middle daughter (age 19). We’re going to NY to see RENT. She’s a dance major and wants to see RENT before it leaves Broadway. I love your jewelry pieces. Angie Ulseth
I would actually love to win this for my best girlfriend who has been through a horrible divorce this year and it will be final on April 11. She has been such an amazing mom to her two little ones (ages 2 and 3 1/2) through it all and she would just melt over this!
Thanks for the consideration! While it is not really a “fun” thing, it is a blessing to have it over!
This month is going to be fun! It my youngest’s fourth birthday this month. We are having a blast deciding what kind of carnival games and deocorations that we will use. I always look foward to her special day becuase it is ALL hers. Her older and wonderful brother has a life threatining illness and demands a tons of attention. She is so amazing with him and giving of herslef. So, I am very much looking foward to April 26th when we have a very fun carnival in our backyard just for her!!!

I’m going to Danville, VA, not such a hot destination, but to visit my very best friend from college that I hardly ever see. YEA! So excited. Still a huge fan of yours Lisa! Can’t wait for your website to go live 🙂
love the necklace!Our April is pretty quiet. I hope to spend lots of family time outside exploring nature. My boys will love that.

Well I am from a small historic town in Indiana. THe fun thing that I am going to do this year is a thing called the “daffodil stroll” it is April 5th-6th. You just go to our historic downtown and they have heavily planted daffodils and they all the little unique shops are opne late and local artists sell thier things. It is kind of a “spring kickoff”. It is a lot of fun. It has been going on since i was a child. http://www.huntingburg.org
I am also going to graduate from Nursing school this month….yeah!
My husband is graduating and we are moving across the country. Fun and scary all at the same time!
Love your jewelry and your site! Thanks for the daily inspiration.
For April:
A getaway to your fair state with my hubby. Just the two of us. sigh. I’m so excted.
My fun thing scheduled for April is to graduate from nursing school! After a long and tiring journey, the end is in sight!
Sarah W.
Absolutely gorgeous! Hmmm…April isn’t overly-scheduled yet, but I’m going out for Chinese food with friends next weekend!
I love this necklace! The fun thing for April is that I’m having a baby! Well hopefullly, unless he decides to come really late! 🙂
We have lots of fun scheduled for April!! First and foremost, having a baby! My second child is due April 19th and we are so excited. It is also my husband’s birthday and the whole family (except the baby 🙂 ) is in a wedding on the 26th! Its sure to be an exciting and eventful month!
Since April is my birthday month, I consider the whole month fun! It means I get to plant some beautiful new flowers in my garden, take in some beautiful California sunshine, and for my birthday weekend, either a jazz concert with the hubby or to Palm Springs for massages with my Mom and two sisters. Ahhh… such choices!
April is so fun… First, April Fool’s Day with little bitty people cackling is such a hoot! Then, in our TN mountains, the season change is pretty drastic – lifting up rocks with my little Cade and Chloe (their names would look so sweet on your beautiful little squares…)to discover all those “little things” they love that show up in April, like shiny little beetles, salamanders, ant homes, etc…) We are also excited to celebrate Cade’s sixth birthday with an “underwater” theme (his very creative idea). I love reading your sweet blog, and feel like I know you…we both have special education/behavior intervention backgrounds and curly hair (and love creative jewelry!)and we both have two beautiful little ones that we truly appreciate!!
Our family has a fantastic camping trip planned for the second weekend in April! We live in Texas, and we tent camp, so October and April are the best months for nice weather for that, not too cold at night or too hot during the day. Over the years our camping trips have given our family some of the most happy, relaxed times. We build great memories. I can’t wait! ~Cathy S., Fort Worth, TX
I look forward to having my kids home for a week and getting my garden planted. Love your jewelry
We are in the middle of our fun April thing, we are in Chicago doing a little exploring and watching the kids reactions to all things city…so we are exploring for fun!!
I love this necklace! How adorable! Hhmm, one fun thing planned in April is I’m teaching a card workshop at my house for a bunch of ladies. Stamping, coffee, good food, friends…doesn’t get much better than that!
My husband is a CPA. On April 15th, tax season will end and we will finally get to see him on a regular basis again. We’re planning on hugging Dad a lot more around here.
Wow! Lots of comments here. Hope I get noticed. wink wink. 🙂 LOVE all of the jewelry. Especially this one.
My fun thing for April? My parents 18th Anniversary tomorrow! My daughter turns 18 months! Our house goes up for sale tomorrow, my brother’s birthday, my husband coming home from a 15 day business trip!
I know that’s more than 1, but couldn’t figure out which to pick. 🙂
I’m looking forward to taking my son(he’s 5) to a play of Charlotte’s Web with his preschool. Also get to be “room mom” for a day.
I am beginning April with painting my soon to be new stamp studio. There has never been a pink room in this house but starting tomorrow there will be one. I can’t wait till it’s finished and furnished again.
-*Linda*-

And it is great, even though we don’t have all the goodies of the modern world.
I’ve visiting a long-lost friend! Can’t wait to see her!
I’m heading to Chattanooga, TN to meet my newest niece {yet to be born}! Can’t wait!

this april… party for some friends and my mom coming to visit!!
something fun for us in april will be that my husband is taking a monday off of work, and we’re going to take my 10 month old to the tennessee aquarium for the first time to see the fish!
Oh I have been excited for this April all year…
In 2 weeks my husband and I will get the opportunity to get away for the weekend with out our 2 kids to attend my dear friends wedding on the west coast of Canada, in Nanaimo BC. Then 2 weeks later I will attend my 15 year high school reunion back in Manitoba!! It’s going to be a fun month of reconnecting with old friends and filling eachother in on the last several years. I was just thinking that I’d love to order a necklace to wear to these ocasions proudly displaying my kids names.
I absolutely love your work…so pretty!
I love this necklace. Something fun I have planned for April is my daughter’s 1st birthday. All of our family will be here to help us celebrate!

So much fun planned for April! I’m doing a girls trip in two weeks, as well as a little family vacation. Hope your month is blessed!
ONE thing? 🙂 Ok…pokeno night with some friends…in our jammies, on a Sunday night, eating breakfast food, gabbing and laughing! Happy jewelry making!
giveaways are always fun when it involves your necklaces 😀 I’m organising a bday party for my husband who’s turning 40 this month !
Grandma is coming to visit which will be loads of fun for my daughter.
We will be celebrating my husband and oldest daughter’s birthdays in April, and I also plan on taking my kids to the Sesame Street exhibit all about the human body!! Fun stuff!
My grandmother is turning 87 and my husband and I are taking her out. Special why? well 87 is amazing in itself, however; I just met her last year. My father was MIA my whole life and my Mothers parents are both deceased as well ad my husbands grandparents. So, I decided one day that I wanted a grandmother. I found her on the internet called her and she was so excited. Her daughter (my Aunt!) lives with her to and we have developed a wonderful relationship.
So April 6th we are going to church and brunch to celebrate!
I have a Low-concert to go to, and I adore this band! I can’t wait 🙂
Lets see……April brings lots of fun things for me! First is my family Scrap bookweekend…..3 days of pure Scrapbooking no kids, no husbands 🙂 Its also my birthday and my husband and I are getting away for the day to enjoy the central coast with out kids!!
Something special for April…my God-Mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and just started going through chemo and she is beating it’s consequences to the punch by having a head shaving party. It will get shorter by shorter throughout the night until its all shaved off. She will join her father and brother with having a bald head. I am blessed to be in her life and I will be attending the “head shaving party” to enjoy it with her.
Lovely jewelry you have…when she beats this all together I plan to get her one in rememberance of her journey.
I LOVE your jewelry and reading about all the fun stuff you do with your kiddos…and I’m jealous, as we here in Chicago are inches away from the snowiest winter on record! My fun April thing is SPRING BREAK–gonna spend some extra time with my 8 month old, Cooper! Gotta love being a teacher…
My fun thing is that I am going to see an old friend of mine – and I have not seen her for many years! Sooo looking forward to it!
I’m having a baby!!!
This winter we have been snowed in, experienced blizzard after blizzard, our sons wedding and Easter celebrations cancelled due to snow and countless other malodies! So, in April I have a scavenger hunt scheduled for our family that will include looking for signs of spring – from buds to flowers to creepy-crawly-thingys and the winner will be crowned ‘king or queen of spring’! Can’t wait! This spring NEVER looked so good.
our fun thing for april…. my friend and i are planning on walking for babies!! it is a 10 mile walk for the march of dimes!! i am excited. both of our little ones were residents of the NICU this year, so we are happy to be helping this cause!
Wow, this is such a wonderful necklace and the one I will finally purchase, they all are so great, but this is the one. So I actually have a few things planned, first my 11 year anniversary, my birthday, and my new necklace to look forward to. April is such a wonderful month…
Enjoy..everyone
My fun event for April would be one of two things…you can decide which is more fun. (A) we are going to pain the kitchen (B) we are going to start trying to have a baby……
Beautiful necklace Lisa!! April is pretty exciting for us. My daughter will be celebrating her First Communion on 4/27 and then the next day celebrating her 8th birthday.

We are having a girls reunion and 10 of us are flying to meet each other for a weekend of eats, drinks, dancing, catching up and whatever else happens to come our way!

So the MOST fun thing scheduled would probably be the Luau inspired Engagement Party for to celebrate Scott’s and I upcoming marriage! We are so blessed, what an amazing God we have! I love your stuff…it’s soo great!
First, your work is amazing 🙂
I would be one happy camper to receive this lovely necklace.
For spring break/vacation, we’ll probably go to the beach with our new sticker… who cares that it might be cold 🙂 And we’ll venture into the city to the museum of science 🙂 my two munchkins just love it there.
Thanks for the chance 🙂
I love your designs Lisa!I get a lot of comments on the necklace you made for me last fall with my daughters names!
Fun in April…strawberry picking and one more month closer to the end of my husband’s deployment!YEA!!!!

i love the new necklace!!
one fun thing that i have planned for april is a pirate themed birthday party for my little guys second birthday. cant wait – although it makes me a bit sad that he’s getting so big.
We have four children under the age of four who are all at the cabin fever stage with our Ohio weather. To break out of the same old boring routine, we’re having a theme week to kick off April. Five days of fun activities … cooking one day, a movie day with popcorn and our favorite Disney movies, baseball day for the season’s kick-off. With any luck we’ll even have one day warm enough to get outside for some outdoor activities too. Just something different to keep our minds off the lack of warmth and sunshine we’re still seeing here.
a job interview! after being a sahm for 6+ years, it is a step toward moving back into the world of sales…pt 🙂
What a fun necklace, I hope I win. I am going to Wicked in LA, YEA! I love all your designs!!!!
LOVE the necklace, LOVE the blog!
My husband and son’s birthdays are in April, so we have some celebrating to do!
Lisa I love your jewelry. We have a busy April. Dance recital is at the end of May, so lots of practice and making up practice from missing because of all the snow we had in Iowa during January and February. We also have preschool registration, Come Read with me at school and several relative’s birthdays. We are also having several new calves on our farm and the girls enjoy watching them grow strong and play in the pasture. Thank you Lisa for the give aways. Take care
Getting my bike out of storage and pedalling up a storm.
April is going to be the best month ever… After being house bound since January we are gojng to Vegas to se Gandma and Grandpa, and then to Canada to see The other Grandma and Grandpa. Lots of traveling but it will be sooo much fun!!
One fun thing in April is going to Cal Poly’s Open House! My husband and I love going back to the campus to support the school’s clubs, eat a ton of junk food, and relive some of our fond memories.
My parents are coming home from being snowbirds in Mesa all winter, and it my 8th wedding anniversary on the 15th. Two wonderful things to look forward to. Thanks Lisa.

I love the necklace.
One fun thing we are doing in April is taking our kids to the Gamma Phi Circus (at Illinois State University, love living in a college town)…the oldest collegiate circus in the country.
The fun part is that I will put all of the pictures in a scrapbook for my mother in law, who has a breast cancer,just had a “Hat n’ Snip Off” party last Sunday 3/30. Yet,I will start putting the pictures together at Creative workshop on 4/16 all day. After putting tons of pictures, I will hand the books to her at the end of April as a part of gift.
I’m a first time comment-er. I love your jewelry! My fun even planned for April is going to see Jenna and Laura Bush at a book signing that is promoting their new children’s book. I’m so excited!
I can’t believe it but, I think I love the tiny squares even more than the teeny tiny initials! Our fun (depends on your perspective) plans for April are very simple. I can’t wait to enjoy the emerging spring weather…. to plant and landscape, and to start walking more places instead of driving everywhere. Thanks for sharing your creativity!
My daughter starts ‘Princess Ballet’ classes and wants to wear a princess dress to her first class!
This is a beautiful necklace. I wear my necklace that you made for me everyday! It says BELIEVE IN MIRACLES! Our son just finished his stem cell transplant and we’ve been home now for 3 weeks and loving every minute of it! He started radiation today and he will finish with that in a couple of weeks and then we plan to have so much fun at our house….just celebrating our children! We can’t go anywhere because our son is on isolation, but we are planning a “small” birthday party for our soon to be 2 year old daughter. We’re going to have just the grandparents here, but it is going to be a princess themed party and Ethan is going to be a “King” and Ava a “Princess”. It is going to be so much fun watching the kids all dressed up and having a good time at the “PARTY”! Small or not, it will be great to celebrate!
Thanks for all of your posts, I check them daily. Your boys are adorable and your work is fabulous!
We’re headed to South Beach, Florida – just my husband and I. He earned a weekend recognition trip due to his incredibly hard work at his place of employment. We never go away alone, so this will be an amazing treat.
Our college daughters who are coming home just for this night, a lonely friend, a high school senior and my husband and I are planning a game night, playing games but also watching our beloved Jayhawks in the Final Four. Being empty nesters now we look forward to “FUN” nights with kids around. It is a strange little group of people but we call each other “family”. PARTAY!
Adorable new design Lisa! I get so many compliments on the necklace you made for me, I’ve given out your blog addy to so many people! My Mom just ordered herself one finally!
One thing we are excited about in this house is KU making it into the Final Four! So the first weekend in April means we will be watching the games & cheering our team on!!
April fun? Well, I am heavily involved with a church children’s talent show — can’t wait to see the fun things those little guys end up showing us as their talents. With a hot dog lunch and a kids’ talent show, it’s a fun Saturday for sure .
My fun thing planned for April would be my oldest daughter Samantha’s first prom. We have already had lots of fun picking out the dress, jewelry, and shoes. Since I am a hair dresser I am in charge of the hair. We will make a day out of it. Her two best friends are also coming over. I will be doing the hair and nails for all three. This will be a great memorie for us. I am so excited to be sharing in this special day with all the girls.
April will be spent getting ready for Sprout’s (baby #2) arrival! Due date is May 8th but I really think he/she will be born in late April… or maybe it is my wishful thinking!
LOVE it, Lisa!
We are taking the boys to an ice hockey game next Sunday … can’t wait! And we also have a family bday party scheduled in late April.
I’m planning a girl’s day out to a little town an hour away. We’ll have lunch at one of the cute cafes and shop till we drop at Nell Hills.
My friend and I have daughters the same age and last year we started a new tradition called “SPRING FLING”….we take our daughters shopping ALL day, get photos taken in the mall’s photo booth, buy goofy stuff we’ll never use again (like funky glasses and such), spend the day laughing, talking, taking the girls out for a really nice ‘grownup’ lunch and have precious times with our daughters!! This year our SPRING FLING is scheduled for April 26th and we can’t wait!! This year we are gonna stay overnight in a hotel and give the girls facials and manicures!! WOOOHOO!! I can’t wait!! I never know who is more excited…us or the girls!!! peace and blessings….Cindy B.
What a lovely design!
I am surprising my mom next Sunday for her 70th birthday.
I have invited a bunch of her friends and family to celebrate with her.
I can’t wait – she will be so surprised!
I lOVE, LOVE, LOVE your jewelry. I keep showing my husband which ones I like. 🙂

He actually got the weekend off so his sister/BIL/nieces & nephews are all coming up to celebrate! And my MIL and SIL (same one as above) are going to the Nationals Bowling Tournament in Detroit in the middle of April! Plus, MIL’s sister lives an hour away so PARTY! Yes, I’m one of the lucky few that loves her MIL! AND I get to get away from my 3 boys for a few days and relax YAY! 🙂 Thank you for offering you’re beautiful creations for a contest, we are all so lucky!

For April I have the best fun thing planned – a trip to Key West with five of my girlfriends from college to celebrate our 30th birthdays! I can’t wait!
The necklace is beautiful!! Everything you create is wonderful which makes it hard to decide which is my favorite. This april we are celebrating my son 2nd birthday and are waiting for spring to come and are hopeing the snow stays away
I love your jewelry, and I love your blog! I read it daily! It is so warm and encouraging. I can’t wait until your new website is up and running!
My fun April activity…potty training my twin girls who will be three in April. I know, I know…we’re a little behind on this whole potty-training thing! We started today, so hopefully we will be finished by the end of April!!! The actual process will not be fun, but the moment I lay my head down at night and realize we didn’t have a single accident all day will be pure bliss!
What a beautiful necklace! I’ve had so much fun browsing your collection this morning. What to pick?
One of my fun April plans is heading to a baseball game next week at our new Nationals stadium with my son. A little “mommy and me” time if I can find a sitter for the babe.

Fun things for April…well since my maternity leave is ending in May, I am trying to make the most of everyday and do something fun with my little guy who is an amazing little person. We are going to the Zoo, enjoying time with friends and going to visit my Mom and Dad.
I recently found your site and Love your jewelry. I adore that leather cuff….maybe I missed it, but do you have more like that. I would totally love to buy one for my teenage daughter who is having a tough time right now. I thought it would be perfect for her to see throughout the day and look at some sort of reaffirming word on a cool bracelet. OR would you be willing to make a custom one? A fun thing…hmmm…well my roses are in bloom!!!! Thats pretty fun. 🙂
Something fun for April, Bon Jovi concert :O) It is my 8 year wedding anniversary so my super fabulous hubby is taking me friday night to Bon Jovi….can’t wait :O)

Surprise 30th birthday party for one of my dearest friends in Charleston, SC. We are making a weekend of it! My boyfriend will be going for the first time ever, which makes the trip even more special.

Love the neclace! My fun event for April would be when my cute parents come to visit me. I haven’t seen them in 6 months so I am really looking forward to it.

Okay, this is my birthday month so my fun thing is my birthday party. I am having my friends over for steamed oysters, a big salad, garlic bread and beer. After that we’ll eat cake and go for a bike ride on my new adult tricycle. How cool is that!! Bring on the high gas prices, I’ve got a trike!!
OH< and Scott is taking off five days this week so I can have mornings sleeping in, breakfast in bed, long lazy naps in the afternoon and late nights playing with him at night. All for my birthday!! YAY!!!
My fun thing for April is that I am quitting my job in a few weeks to stay home full time with my son. I am so excited.
April is a fun month for us-my son turns 3(!), school field trip to the zoo, and to the beach for a kite frstival. it’s the real spring kick-off for us!
My plans for April include planning a birthday party for my almost 14 yo dd!
Oh so sweet. We plan to get out in the yard together and get the flower beds ready for planting and mulching etc. Also planning some one on one time with each of the kids- special afternoons to do what they want. Maybe a movie, lunch, or an afternoon at the park.
we have a few fun things (depending on what you consider fun) My daughter and I are looking forward to a couple of dance competitions and nights out. The boys in the family are looking forward to an X-treme Moto-X show and the whole family will roll up their sleeves and enjoy some family fun (and work) slough pumping in april around the farm. haha
I LOVE this necklace!
I’m going to work on personal art everyday in the month of April. 🙂
My fun April event… my daughter’s baptism. Elaina is getting baptised Saturday, 4/5, and all of our family is coming to town… lots of hotel swimming (we are in Iowa, no ocean or outdoor warmth), possibly a basketball game, lots of family time and of course the most important thing, our sweet daughter’s baptism.
I just found your site last night and LOVE it! One fun thing for our family is that hopefully we’ll finish construction on our new house that we’ve been working on for a year!
I love your jewelry! I have been hinting to a friend of mine so that she can hint to my husband to get me a necklace for Mother’s Day!!
Our one thing in April…..we are buying our FIRST HOUSE and moving in! YAY!!!!!!
Love your blog and your pictures….how do you make your pictures look the way they do? I’ve tried Antiquing mine in iphoto and my husband says they just look yellow….boo……

april for me means my house is getting all new carpet!! exciting stuff for me!
I love your jewelry and have hinted heavily to my husband. 🙂 One VERY fun and VERY exciting thing happening in April is my daughter’s FIRST birthday! It is actually Saturday and I am very excited and happy. I can’t believe a whole year has gone by already. Boy do they grow up fast! This would make a great gift for me to commemorate her first year. Thanks! 🙂 katebethATgmail
Fun things for April…planting lots of flowers, decorating my house for spring, family and friends coming to visit and shop!
(By the way, my sister recently gave me one of your necklaces. I loved it so much, I will be ordering from you soon!)
Oh, this necklace is so darling! My fun event for April…I’m heading to California to visit my dearest & best friend Sharalee for a few days!! HORAY!!
Our fun thing planned for April is probably not what most would consider fun but it is great fun for my husband, our children and me. We live in Southwestern Colorado on our farm. We have waited all winter for it to be warm and dry enough to plant our wheat and new alfalfa in some of our fields. We should be able to get on tractors and get started this week and we are so excited we almost can’t stand it!
