This year I was looking for something special and unique for my teen daughter. She's a Twihard (sigh) but also has the good taste to love the Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead. I know that Synde Korman of Cemetery Cat Designs makes limited edition jewelry inspired by Vampire Academy in addition to other beautiful jewelry. Luckily for me Synde also makes custom items as well. My daughter's favorite Vampire Academy character is Dimitri Belikov. I contacted Synde with this information, and she started designing a necklace for my daughter. We discussed materials and agreed on a price. I was also asked my daughter's size so that the necklace would be the appropriate length. When it was ready Synde sent me the photo below:
Wow! Synde shipped it out, and I received it in perfect shape a couple of days later. I was so excited that I could not wait to give it to my daughter. My daughter CRIED! She hugged me... a lot. I cried. She absolutely loves her necklace. I love that with the help of Synde I've been able to give my daughter a unique and lasting work of art. It is absolutely stunning.

ReplyDeleteWay to go, Mom! :) Making your daughter cry with joy: priceless.
ReplyDeleteI usually want things I can't ask for -- like an X-box 360 -- which means mentioning small stuff that will make my life better (like oversized, button-down sweaters that will help me get through the rest of my pregnancy *g*).
What did you ask for this year, Qwill?
How awesome is that? You did a really good thing. :)
ReplyDeleteMe? All I want is to be happy for a change. :)
Thanks for commenting everyone!
ReplyDeleteAlana, I didn't ask for anything. What I hope for is health and happiness for the people I love. That would be a great present for me! :)
What a great idea Q, so glad your daughter loves it! I will have to check out Synde's site. To be honest, I wish I had money for bills this Christmas, not liking the struggle we are having this year. I wish everyone a wonderful Holiday.
