This week both my sister (Lisa) and her daughter (Stephanie, who turned 21) celebrated their birthdays. Back in February, while I was in Hong Kong, I scoured the Jade Market looking for pearl earrings for each of them.
I found these pretty, pale pink ones for my sister (pink’s her favorite color).
And I found these tiny creamy-colored ones for my niece. As you can see, I created a special mini canvas for each of them. I think these canvases make a lovely presentation. And I like how you can express your thoughts to the recipient on the canvas…like how I see Stephanie as a bright star (“Star light star bright”).
Here are the two canvases together. Two pearls for two girls, with warmest happy birthday wishes to both.
Creating a gift to present a gift…I like layering the love.

two sweet gifts in one-how really lovely Becky!! The pearls are gorgeous. I know that once I took the earrings off I’d add glue on two pearl beads and keep the canvas out on display as a sweet reminder of your thoughtfulness.

Your gift presentations are as beautiful as the pearls for the girls. It is the littlest details that mean the most. Happy Hearts are Creative Hearts…
