I found Tracy and her company “Junkposse” (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5208670) when I came across one of her creations on another blog. I immediately emailed her, asking if she’d be willing to make a custom piece for me. After talking back and forth, and deciding what we wanted, this is it. I just love it! I assume you can see it (I wasn’t able to zoom like I wanted to), but each of the kids names are on the fingers and the heart in the midddle says “blessings”. We thought it worked well with our “handsful” theme, at the same time explaining that having our hands full isn’t a negative thing (as a lot of people seem to think), but truly a blessing from God.Â
She totally surprised me by putting my name on the back!!Â
Tracy is such a sweet woman who truly loves creating perfect pieces for her clients. She’s also an adoptive mom herself and has made many pieces for auctions and charities that benefit adoption, as well as giving portions of her proceeds to adoption charities. Go check her out, I promise you’ll be thrilled that you did!Â

The jewelry is very nice. I love the “hand” with all the names of the kids on it. I could see Dee Dee getting one with 6 hats for the lotsofhats sign on. Wish I could make stuff like this.

What a fantastic necklace to wear…it says it all…the kid’s names and Blessings + on the other side is your name! I’m assuming it’s not Traci Butler you’re talking about ‘cuz the name is not spelled like her’s. That is really nice and you’ll be proud everytime you wear it!

I LOVE that, Donna! When our family is complete, I’ll have to remember to do something like that! How perfect! Having your hands full is definitely not negative and your family is a shining example of how much of a blessing it can be!
