• Hi, I'm Lisa-mommy to my boys, David, 7 and Matty, 6 and wife to Steve. In between school and work we spend our time playing outdoors on the central coast of CA, eating chocolate chip pancakes, tapping tunes on the piano (David) and choreographing elaborate lightsaber duels (Matty). I create handmade jewelry and love taking pictures. Stick around and get to know us!

    Happy Birthday Matty! May the force be with you. Not sure if that’s Star Wars or Star Trek. I get them confused. :)

    Happy Birthday, Matty! I hope he has a ball time at his 5th Birthday party.

    In case, you are not aware, there is a wonderful book, ” Horray, I’m five today!.” It is written by Tor Freeman.

    Have fun!

    your designs are fresh and inspired. i gasped when i saw the necklace where you said to pick your word of the year. every year on my birthday, a word for the next year is picked. it defines the year. until i saw your jewelry, i had never heard of anyone else doing this.

    my word of nov ‘08- nov ‘09: strength.

  28. Karen on January 18th, 2009 8:58 pm

    Happy Birthday Matty! Hope you have a GREAT Star Wars party!!!

  29. Sarah Markley on January 20th, 2009 9:59 pm
