Back in the swing of things...finally!

It's good to be back. Back home, back at Lily Lane and back to CREATING! I've missed it all. Thanks to all of you for being so patient. :)

I have a lot of fun stuff in the works and can't wait to show you what I've been working on, but it'll have to wait for now. As usual, time flew by and before I knew what day it was (really, I don't even remember the days lately) it's time for another fabulous giveaway. So for now head on over to the Christmas in July celebration found here and enter to win something unique for yourself!!! And the fun doesn't stop there. Oh no. Check out my cute friends at HowDoesShe.com for another great giveaway(or ten)! By next week I will have some of the many new things I've conjured up ready to show you. Until then here is a little peak at a few recent creations.







Enjoy your week!

Lovely Letters

Remember to get your Mother's Day gifts ordered soon!

Ready for an update!?

Geez! It's been a while since I posted some new pictures on here. I apologize. But, in my defence, I have been super busy...which is a good thing. A VERY good thing! Thanks to all of you for your support! Never hesitate to ask a question regarding custom pendants...I LOVE all the different ideas you all come up with.
Enjoy the pictures. I hope they inspire you!

These pendants have a very sweet message. The customers Father had just passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly. She took photos of the flowers from his funeral and used them on one side of the pendant. On the other she put the phrase "Keep the Faith" because he always ended his e-mails with the letters KTF. She gave a pendant as a gift to each of her sisters and also kept one for herself.





This pendant was a gift for a FIFTIETH wedding anniversary! Congrats to the darling couple! :)

I am so happy to show you these next pendants! I just love the orginality of them. I used pictures of my kids to make these altered art images and then added words or phrases that describe them the best. Go ahead, take a peak and ENJOY!

Such a cute family, I just had to post them!
The layered pendants are a gift for the boys' Grandmas for Mother's Day. (She ordered two sets) And the bottom set includes a picture of each of the boys as well as a family photo, these ones are for the Mama.



Aren't they darling?!

Mother's Day is coming right up! Get those pictures in soon!

More Order Ideas

**I am no longer taking orders for Christmas, but thought these might be great ideas for upcoming holidays. Valentines, Easter and Mothers Day will all be here before you know it. I will start taking orders again on the 2nd of January so I can have a little break to enjoy the Holidays with my fam. Take lots of pictures over Christmas and get a jump start on gifts for 2010!!**

This is a sweet ornament made for a customers friend who lost her baby a couple of months ago. The reverse side has a picture of the family.


This ornament was another one for the same customer, the front has a pictures of her adorable little boy. What a great idea to list a few of the things your child (or you) like, something you did, or places you went during the past year!



This is a fun set I did for Summer Driggs. She is an amazingly talented woman and if you don't know about her yet, you should! Check our her FREE digital scrapbook layouts at summertimedesigns.blogspot.com.





Teacher gifts
I made these for two of my kids teachers. They were a hit!




MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

A great tradition.



These wonderful girls get together one weekend every year for a much needed girls weekend. Almost every girl lives in a different state, but they make sure to keep their friendships strong through these trips. They always pick a different destination and this year it was Park City, Utah. The pendants are the perfect little souvenir for these getaways.


Here is another example of the layered pendants. This mama has four kiddos so we added the trapezoid shape.





No words...


A very good friend passed away a few weeks ago and I made this pendant for his mother. I have been friends with his sister since second grade and their family is like my own family. I didn't even know what to put on the back, nothing seemed to fit. Thus the angel wings. I think they say enough.

Here are a few random pendants I had for orders a few weeks ago, along with the three of my kids. The top one with the pink beads is a bracelet. It turned out so cute! My other favorite is the one of the couple at the bottom (temple on opposite side) It was for the brides bouquet during her wedding. I love this idea and have since gotten a few more orders for these. They also make great bridesmaids gifts!




Here are some examples on the bouquets. (I did not make these ones, but you get the idea.)




Here are my three little ones on a chain. These pendants are thinner than our basic
1x1.5 and 1x1 pendants. This makes the necklace lighter so you are able to layer multiple pendants together. Because of the special glass used, they are 12.00 a piece as opposed to the 10.00 basic pendants.







They make a great accent for any gift. This is a picture of the baby from the ultra sound tied around the baby gift. Love it. These next few pendants are soldered with the wavy edge, a new option at Lily Lane!




Another ultrasound picture.




Can you even wrap your mind around the fact that the holiday season is just around the corner? Crazy. We make custom 3x3 and 2x2 ornaments as well! The cost is just 12.00 per ornament. Such a great gift idea! And remeber all pendants and ornaments are double sided so you can added any words, phrases or even a second picture (for an additional cost) to opposite side.
