Happy Birthday Susan!…
Today is another repeat of Susan Liles’ 29th birthday. I won’t tell you what anniversary she is on, but let’s just say it’s not the first or second…or third, or… 
Be sure you hop on over to her blog and give her a big birthday hug!
Last night Ellie and went over to her house. The kiddos played for a little bit while we talked stamping and life. I gave her the present that I found for her on Etsy by searching the word “Faith.” I love that it has a crown on it, too-because that is just so her! HERE is the link to the Home Studio Etsy store where I found this and MANY MANY MANY other cool pendants and chains!
Of course, I couldn’t just hand her a necklace. Well, it came in a pretty lil’ bag, but I wanted something a little more. So naturally, I made the packaging. It’s essentially a 2468 box, but just scale that down to 1.75″ increments. I scored the sides of the bag about halfway down so that I could tie it shut. The crown charm just ties it all together.
The paper for this bag is from Papertrey and the taffeta ribbon is from Stampin’ Up!. Hope you all have had a wonderful week. I’ll be back tomorrow with another SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY…it’s my favorite this month and I already have my card done and I love love love love it {kinda a hint}.
Also, GLUE has a cool lil’ project for you to create for the special someone in your life. It’s called the Luv-O-Dex {cute, huh?}. It’s like a Rolodex of all the things that you love about your honey. It’s a 150+ piece kit for $14. HERE is the link with all the info and where you can buy it.
ooooh! Love the little baggie for the pendant!
I’ve bought a number of pendants from Home Studio too, love ‘em. And happy birthday to my birthday-buddy, Susan!
What a FUN gift and wonderful presentation! Happy Birthday to Susan! Lucky girl !
Wow - this kinda stopped my heart!!

This is darling! What a beautiful necklace and the packaging is perfect! I love the whole thing! It sounds like you two had a great day!
Adorable! I just bought 4 of those pendants last night; LOVE THEM. One is a Christmas gift - nothing like starting early! Love the bag; bet Susan LOVED the gift!
I just fell in love with this necklace. I went to the web site and bought one for my daughter. The crown is what sold me , since we call our daughter princess. Thanks for sharing. Happy BD to Susan also.
