Samantha, in her short life is leaving us a legacy of small intentions build big things... She passed away from a fatal car accident before she reached her goal but her pastor asked to have her charity page reopened in her honor. She only asked for $300 dollars but is now well over $550,000 dollars and has 25 days left. What a giant inspiration she is...

On June 12th 2011, I'm turning 9. I found out that millions of people don't live to see their 5th birthday. And why? Because they didn't have access to clean, safe water so I'm celebrating my birthday like never before. I'm asking from everyone I know to donate to my campaign instead of gifts for my birthday. Every penny of the money raised will go directly to fund freshwater projects in developing nations. Even better, every dollar is "proved" when the projects are complete, and photos and GPS coordinates are posted using Google Earth. My goal is to raise $300 by my birthday, June 12, 2011. Please consider helping me.
Thank you so much!!!

I am in awe of the overwhelming love to take my daughters dream and make it a reality. In the face of unexplainable pain you have provided undeniable hope. Thank you for your generosity!
I know Rachel is smiling!

There is something to be said about "Wedding Whites" and "Something Blue"......
What do I wear...
That is always something being asked by the Bride to be... I love simplicity and elegance in my jewelry design and I have found and heard that it is relatively hard to find this. I love white pearls and use them quite frequently in my designs. You can never go wrong. I always ask for the color story of my Bride's Wedding and then I design a mini collection so that they have a choice. I always make things simple and easy. Too much to think about is the last thing they need or want. Inspiration is the key...
This Classic Bear Topaz Pear Shaped is one of my favorites... Simplicity is always a good way to go...
Something Blue in Sky Topaz...
Now this is obviously a "statement Piece" but this is divine on and sets the stage for this Brides day.
Now, this is my princess inspired wedding jewelry. Ever since I was a little girl I would dream about my wedding day. My best friend Pamela and I in the 2nd grade would make these princess drawings of our wedding dress and how we would look. I would always draw this necklace on my bride. It's funny how things work out. She is a fashion designer and I am a jewelry designer. Funny-food for thought...
This is apart of my "Wedding Whites" line. I love pearls and very pale color gem stones. The bride should always be the center of attention but great jewels just add to the day. Feeling beautiful is the best thing we can ever give ourselves...
The most important thing to remember is... Always go with your initial instinct. It will always serve you well.
