Some of my best-selling designs have sprung from personal experience within my family. This past year, my brother-in-law lost his mother to cancer. For Christmas, I decided to create a memorial Christmas ornament for him so that he and my three nieces who'd lost a grandmother would have a reminder of her to hang on the tree each year. I ended up making him 2 because he liked the ornament so much, he put it on his key chain. Soon, I was making memorial pieces for more people in our family and decided to launch them in my shop, and they've sold well. Here are a few designs, some celebrating humans, some animals.

We'll be working on Christmas ornaments very soon. While the reason people buy these pieces is sad, I take comfort knowing that sometimes a little keepsake can really help someone get through the grief.
