Link Party Palooza — and Kristen’s Custom Creations Giveaway!

Tatertots & Jello is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.

It’s Friday!!

Remember, I’ve supersized the Weekend Wrap-Up Party! Now it’s the …
link party palooza banner

We’ve combined the popular parties at I Heart Nap Time, Lil’ Luna, Somewhat Simple, Tatertots & Jello and Today’s Creative Blog to make a giant link party. You’ll only have to link up once to to be listed on all five sites, and each of us will choose our own projects to feature posts —  just like we always have!

So be sure to check with each site to see which of the amazing ideas were featured! I’ll have two “great ideas” posts this weekend!

This week’s giveaway is from Kristen’s Custom Creations!

I’ve known Kristen since I started blogging — and I have loved her jewelry for a long time!

She’s one of my oldest “bloggy” friends, and she is amazing.

I love that all of her pieces are hand-stamped, not machine-stamped. It makes every piece unique and organic.

(This is me wearing the Mother’s Day Double-Stacked and Hammered A Lot of Love Necklace in Hawaii a couple of years ago)

And besides being one of the first and best in hand-stamped jewelry, Kristen now has another unique take on stamped pieces, combining them with the Tagua Nut in different cool colors, like this in teal (there’s butterscotch, chocolate and burnt orange too!)

01-

We’ve teamed up this week to give away a $50 credit to Kristen’s amazing shop!

Link up your projects, find out more about the giveaway, and enter to win after the break:

02-

I love this Starfish story-inspired bracelet! It’s a great reminder to kind to everyone!

(What? You don’t know the starfish story? It’s in the product description. It’s a great story.)

03-

This is a perfect stocking stuffer for the loved ones in your life! It’s often so hard to shop for the men on your gift list, and this is a great way to give a thoughtful, unique present.

04-

I love the new charms, too — this one’s for “foodies,” but you can customize the stamp if you’d like, too. Check out all of the charms!

Here are a few more of Kristen’s favorites:

Kristens Collage

Left: To Thine Own Self Be True Bracelet

Center: Double Stacked I Love You to the Moon and Back necklace (with personalized names)

Right: Not All Those Who Wander are Lost necklace

I just adore Kristen! She is so talented and generous.

kristen

Here’s a little bit about her in her own words:

I started my business in 2008 when there were just a few artists stamping jewelry.  You will see in my shop that I work mostly with sterling silver as I feel only the best materials should be used when creating keepsake jewelry.  I like to create pieces that speak to the person wearing it, that the jewelry tells a story whether it is their kiddos names, a special phrase or inspirational message that when worn around their necklace serves as a reminder. I have kept my business small so that I can personally be involved with each and every order.  

I’m so excited to be able to feature Kristen’s Custom Creations again!

I have more good news:

Use the code TATERTOT
at checkout
at Kristen’s Custom Creations
and get 15% off everything 
through next Friday!

    What a great giveaway this week! Love her handmade jewelry…especially the piece that says “I love you more.” My husband and I are always trying to “out do” each other when we say “I love you” and this is one of the things we say!

  5. Michelle Janes says

    October 21, 2013 at 5:14 PM

    My sister gave me a necklace when my first baby girl was born that is similar to the one you are giving away. I treasure it! They are so amazing.

    I love the “foodie” jewelry with the cute spatula. I’m a food blogger too so that would be super cute to win! I love the great ideas I get from your link parties. Thanks! […] Sharing this project with: Tatertots & Jello: Link Party Palooza […]

    October 19, 2013 at 3:21 PM

    I’m new to crafting, and looking for ideas to start small. Seems like bead and wire decorations should be easy enough (I hope). Once I’ve made some that I feel are worthy of sharing I will start a blog. I’m open to constructive feedback! I have been a working student and mother (now grandmother!) for so long that I never had time to be crafty. You all have some wonderful ideas here, I’m excited to begin.

    My favorite item here so far is the one that says ‘it mattered to that one.’ it was nice to be reminded of that story just when I really needed to keep that sentiment in mind, so thank you. Everything here is truly beautiful.
