I got the sweetest little present in the mail yesterday.
It made me smile so big!
It was from my friend Amanda from Queen Bee Designs, and I love it so much!
The quote on it reads,
"I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship..."
It was written by Louisa May Alcott.
I've loved it since the first time I read it.
Amanda even attached a small freshwater pearl to my necklace.
I love how it ties together with the sea-inspired quote I chose.
It's not just a pretty piece of art though. It will also help to ease my worried mind during difficult times. I will refer to it when I need to be reminded that challenges help you to discover who you really are and can only make you stronger.
Thank you SO much Amanda!
Your work is both thoughtful and beautiful, and I'll treasure my necklace forever!

Amanda was also sweet enough to make a necklace for one of our readers too...
"Keep it Simple . . ."
Strive for a simpler existence with less to worry about, less to do and more time to swing in the hammock of life. This piece is a gentle reminder for all of us to relax, enjoy the moment and strive for simplicity. This is the first beauty in our *Simply Soldered* line and is weathered and worn with its snazzed edges and buffed finish. Measuring at 1" in diameter, you can "Keep it Simple . . ." daily, with this around your neck.
- Amanda

I love your website and all the wonderful ideas you share with others! You definitely inspire me to try new things. I also loved the "Keep it Simple" logic and wish we all could remember that every day. Thank you!
Oh, I'd just love to have this beauty! I think too much sometimes...have to remind myself to keep it simple!
Gosh, I'm not sure why Rita. It says it was removed by you (the author), not us (the blog moderators). Unfortunately, the contest did end at midnight though- sorry about that! :-(
