I got my Origami Owl Living Lockets today. I had a party a few weeks ago and my lockets are my reward for providing chocolate to a bunch of hormonal women while displaying cute and overpriced jewelry for them to buy. I don't normally have parties like these because it requires me to actually clean my house, but I fell in love with the story that I could create in these lockets using charms. Because I hate paying full price for things, I invited people who wouldn't mind doing just that and now I have TWO cute lockets, each with their own story!
Can I just tell you how in LOVE I am with them? My bracelet is dedicated to my family and includes the birthstones of all four of my kids, a wedding ring for Patrick and I ( easily removable if toilet paper hanging ends our marriage), and the word "love" all in front of a metal "family" metal stamped plate.
My necklace locket is dedicated to just me. I decided on the "love life" plate as the backdrop for my charms. I'm planning on a few more in the future but for now, I have an owl (I collect all thing owls except maybe real ones...maybe), a camera (I'm a photographer), A running shoe... A FRIGGIN' RUNNING SHOE!
The fact that I just typed that, is the reason why there is also a compass. I am changing directions with my life and for once, I feel as if I have the correct tools to get me to my destination. There would have never been a running shoe in this locket six months ago but there is one in it today and that's all that matters to me, right now.
I love these lockets. They are MY special stories. There's a problem though... I HATE wearing jewelry! I get annoyed with any and all kinds no matter how pretty it is. Shoot, I can't even stand wearing my wedding ring!
These lockets are going to look so freakin' cute in my jewelry box... I just know it!
