together, and we live just miles apart. Lisa is one of the most generous people I know, with one of the biggest hearts.
Here is her story:
Ever since I was a little girl I have loved to make beautiful things. Throughout the years I have created in many different mediums, but I have always loved being able to wear my art. In November 2012 I opened an etsy shop and began to sell personalized soldered photo pendants and ornaments. I loved being able to capture my customers most precious faces in a piece of jewelry or hang on their Christmas tree each year. These make perfect gifts for Christmas for the special people in your life!
In February of this year I had the opportunity to sell a soldered heart necklace design to raise money to fight human trafficking. (Melaine shared about it here!) Over 500 heart necklaces were sold in a matter of 8 weeks– raising more than $11,000! I had the blessing of witnessing and participating in a miracle! I never imagined anything of this proportion was possible but God took my little creation and did something BIG with it! I was humbled and honored to be a part of God's rescue mission on earth. He never stops pursuing and rescuing his daughters. Every single heart matters to Him! Since then, I have added an additional line of necklaces in collaboration with my friend Melody Ross to raise even more money to help empower women.
This summer I expanded my offerings to include stamped metal and leather jewelry. I have repurposed leather belts and given them a new life and message. I love creating these custom leather cuffs with words that speak life and hope! We all need words of truth and encouragement each day and what could be better than to wear a beautiful word on your wrist!? It's like having your own Wonder Woman cuff to remind you of your superpower! :) My heart feels most alive when I am creating a beautiful piece of jewelry with a meaningful message. I'd love to create something special for you!
Lisa would like to give away a leather cuff to one of you My Sweet Savannah readers!

On a personal note, I'd like to share a little story about Lisa and her big heart.
When our puppy Harley went missing {no, he's still not home}
Lisa called to tell me she'd like to drop something off for me.
She drove over with a leather cuff that reads, "never give up"
Tears, serious tears. Every time I wear that bracelet I remember the fight to bring Harley home.
Lisa is also participating in a local art show:
