I certainly do.. but I need two little birdies of my own as currently I only have one..
Allison Strine Designs offers some beautiful and funky necklaces, artwork, magnets and more that truely define the joy of being a mom.
Personally my favorite is the "Every little boy she loves is magic." pendant and I love the little story she includes of her son. I can't wait till Connor is talking so we can share our ideas and giggle together, that pendant really reminds me of that.
Though not all of Allison's pieces are mom's only she also offers great pendants that really speak to women. I really love her "Candy Corn is her favorite!" pendant. Who ever said candy corn is NOT a veggie is seriously mistaken!!
Perfect for mother's day.. or just anytime. You're sure to find something in Allison's etsy store that really will speak to the mom in you!
Allison sent me the "Every little boy she loves is magic." pendant and in honor of mother's day I'm going to give it away to one of my readers. *sniff* I hope someone special out there gets it as a gift!

Gorgeous items. Thanks to allergies I have grown up with birds all of my life. My favorite of Allison Strine's pieces is the She Loves Being a Mom with two little ones. This speaks to me since my beloved cockatoo Moose actually saved my oldest son's life when he was 11 months old. Moose passed away from a heart attack the night before my son had a febrile seizure and stopped breathing. Thanks to my feather angel we were home and not on the road like we were supposed to be.
Thanks for the beautiful giveaway!
My favorite pendant of Allison's is the new one that says: "She loves her grandkids to the moon and back" -- because I do! Grandma-hood is the nicest thing that's happened to me since Mom-hood. Love it.
love the She Sees LIFE Through MOM Colored GLASSES . . . yippee for joy and happiness and sweet children!! as a mother of two children i think this would be perfect for me!! thanks so much!!

I love the "Caffeine makes her more alert..." Great collection I must say! Great giveaway! Count me in. bebemiqui82(at)yahoo(dot)com
I love "she has faith in her little girl" because my daughter has been so forlorn since I am always attending to her baby brother these days. Sometimes she's naughty on purpose, just to get my attention... but I want to trust her good instincts...
"She decided she was worth it" speaks to me! I'm the type of person who is always giving to others..especially my family. I rarely spend money or time on myself and need to remind myself that is is okay to give to myself!
I just posted a comment. My email address is emcdonald@interiority.org Thanks
Hello! She has a terrific site. What fun it was to look at and read her art pieces. I like the "She Keeps Her Guardian Angel Busy" Long Lasting Art Print. I have two sons that I am so proud of. I would be honored to win the pendant. Thanks,Cindi

The She Doesnt Look BACK design has a meaning for me. My mom was beatin and abused as a child and teen. She told me about but never seemed mad. I could never understand why she wasen't until I asked her. She said years after she would still cry about it. reliving it over and over again. So she forgave the abuse so SHE could move on. My mom amazes me. Her forgiving that kind of hurt has taught me so much.

I love Allison Strine's art! I really like the mother ones, the Grammy ones and especially the "she loves not cooking" one!

She Decided She Was Worth It
Reminds me of my mom.
Oh, I've seen her work before. I love it. She inspired the gift I made for my niece's birthday.
My favorite is She Is Sugar and Spice and Everything Kickass because that's something I would say. I love the bright colors. It's just so happy.
what a colorful and whimsical line! i love the "she is bad to the immaculately manicured bone"...that's so me rockin' the guitar. i have a little boy...this is my first mother's day with my 6 month old. i'd really cherish this pendant. thanks for the contest!
I'd love to win the She LOVES Her GRAND Kids to the MOON and BACK pendant for my mother for mother's day. Because she does. lol. Thanks for the opportunity.
mistchlo@hughes.net
"She's a mom first" fits me to a T! That is my most important role right now. I'm not Shane....I'm so-an-so's mom and that's the way I like it.
I love the mom colored glasses and she loves being a mom. Because my 3 children are my whole world and i would be completely lost and bored without them.
"She doesn't pretend to be normal".
Never have...never will. It's a compliment to me when someone says "my but she's sstrannggeee...". Better that than NORMAL.
love em all, very creative!
Love is a Little One to Call Her Own really speaks to me. Maybe it's because my daughter is adopted. We waited for so long for a little one to call our own, and now that we've got her the love I feel for her is like nothing I've experienced before.
I like the "Caffeine Makes Her More CLEVER, Upbeat and Alert" design. That definitely describes me--and several other busy moms I know!
Can I pick only one?? There are so many there that truly speak to me. What a fabulous collection of art and thoughts!
I love "Her House Was Clean Yesterday"...seriously...thats something I go through every other day...I sit on the couch, look around and think those exact words!
Also absolutely love "She Sees LIFE Through MOM Colored GLASSES". I see everything with a new perspective right now...its joyful yet scary at times.
I like the 'They Loved Happily Ever After' greeting card. The picture just jumped out at me. Great giveaway, thanks!
Blogged ya:

thanks!
She has the sole of.....? A R T is spelled out on the image.
"She loves being a Mom", I just wish she could add six little birdies on there. I hate when people think that I hate being a mom of six wonderful kids! I want to remind them everyday, that I love it!
I'd also love this card, because my best friend is having her first child in July, her son Grady, and this would be a great card for her!!
i like the " shes going to make it after all."

She loves her kids to the moon and back pendant is my absolute favorite....would love to win this one 3beez at bellsouth dot net
I really like the She Is Determined to ENJOY Herself. So true, through all the frustration, enjoyment really is what I feel- or try too.
"Sometimes she went a whole day without wearing a bra" pendant is my favorite item - thank you
Very cute and creative. I love the "She Is Playing In the Dirt Again . . ." one. We are just starting our garden for the year and I spend most of my time out there. It is totally what I am up to these days. My sister just had a boy and I think the pendant would be perfect for her.
My favorite is the "Every Little Boys She Loves is Magic". Reminds me of my 2 boys!
The grandma "to the moon and back" is the one I'd choose, since I'm a grammy!
I like the She Dances to the Beat of a Different Guitar.
I guess thats as nice way of saying I'm different and I like it.

There are so many beautiful items. I really like the " She LOVES Her Kids to the MOON and BACK". We say that here all the time - I love you all the way to the stars, to the Moon, all the way back. i love that one. I might just have to get it for myself now. =)
It's funny being a SAHM you would think I would like to cook....NOT! LOL! So the saying SHE LOVES NOT COOKING is perfect for me.
I love Allison Strine's work. "She Really IS the Person Her DOG Thinks She Is" is my current favorite because it reminds me of my friend, NakedJen.
I would love to win.
The green "she loves being a mom" would be perfect for me
She Is Bad to the Impeccably Manicured Bone makes me laugh because it is soooo true
I really like the "she works for her dreams" one... they are all really nice though!
ticole96(at)msn(dot)com
She's a mom to a t is cute.
my favorite would be the - she loves her Grand kids to the moon and back pendant. I'd give that to my mother
tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com
She LOVES Her Kids to the MOON and BACK (with 2 birds)...because I really do. They are my everything!
My favorite is the 'She Uses Her Power' pendant. I loved a lot of Allison's pieces. Beautiful!
Thank you!
Such bright and fun colors! The Love Is A Little One to Call Her Own is the piece for me. I can totally understand and appreciate this statement and the story behind the piece, I'm a new mom!
I LOVE the "she really is the person her dog thinks she is", my dogs both think I'm the best mommy ever! The grandkids to the moon and back would be great for my MIL, too!

Oh, my! LOL I have to say, I know many, many people who will say that the 'Sugar and spice and everything kickass!' is SOOOO me! And, I have to agree!
I think She Is Sugar and Spice and Everything Kickass pretty much sums me up LOL
She loves her grandkids to the moon and back for my mom=)
subscribed to the feed
the i love my grandkids to the moon and back fits perfect because they are my world.
Caffeine Makes Her More CLEVER, Upbeat and Alert ... look out if i I havent had my coffee I love this one!
That is some selection! 'She Has Thirteen Pounds of Creativity', and 'She Runs Like A Girl' were two that spoke to me personally. Such talent! Thank you.
They call her camera girl - yep, that's me!! :)
My mom is never without a cup of coffee, so my favorite is Caffeine Makes Her More CLEVER, Upbeat and Alert.
I love she sees the world through mom colored glasses. Having just recently been visited by a single friend who has no children it gave us a new perspective on how I have changed in a good way since settling down and having children.
She Has Thirteen Pounds Of Creativity
My daughter and I bond over art projects daily!
I would really love to win!
I love "She Loves her kids to the Moon and Back" and Her Creative Slip is Showing. And Every little boy is magic is the truth!! I have two boys and every charm in here could apply. They are my life and my loves!! I know I sound too dependent on them, but I just love them so deeply. I can let go, but still will be together forever tied with ribbons of love. These are just the best charms I have seen in a long time. I know all that see them will fall in love with at least one, if not all of them. Thank you for bringing another wonderful item to my attention! Good luck to all, and of course all hope to win.
As a coffee addict I like the Caffeine one but my favorite is Love is a Little One to Call Her Own
I subscribed!!
What interesting and beautiful pieces. I think I would go for the I love being a grandmother and give it to my mom from my little one. She is such a great grandma and I know she would be in tears over it.
Thanks again,

First off, your on my sidebar! I love your blog!
I checked out Allison's designs and I like: She Is Sugar and Spice and Everything Kickass tm pendant! That is soo me! But the softer side of me likes: She Leaves the Rest to GOD pendant.. cause God is everything in my life, He is who has given me all the blessings I have in my life!
I love the license plate pendant......maybe it's because I'm stuck at home with strep throat and the drugs are doing the talking. I'm pretty sure I would still like though.
I love everything in that store!! I'm so glad you have brought this to my attention! I love the "She works hard for her dreams", really it was a tough choice, but I've always wanted a houseful of kids, and I really had to work hard to ever get pregnant with my second child. It took 7 years! Sadly, our Pea is our last child. My body can't take another pregnancy. I have worked, and will work hard for my children...they are my dreams!!
There is Nothing Random About Her Acts of Kindness - a Greeting Card-really speaks to me (this was easy)...I live by this statement...and am teaching my kids how important kindness is...it's what counts in this world. REALLY do love this card...thanks :)
Love Is A Little One To Call her Own! ecause my 2 little guys made my know what love is!

They call her camera girl
I love Allison's stuff. I have a pendent of hers that says,"She runs with a paper trimmer" which is so true of me.
My favorite is the She loves her grandkids to the moon and back. I am a new grandma and loving every minute of it. This piece speaks to me.
"every little boy she loves is magic" is my favorite. I'm a new mom to the sweetest little boy ever, and I'd proudly wear that!
She Has a TINY LITTLE Fabric Addiction ...Hehe, I have a whole pile of fabric sitting here beside me.
I love the "There is Nothing Random About Her Acts of Kindness" pendant!
My favorite pendant of Allison's is the new one that says: "She loves her grandkids to the moon and back",wow so true,ive got three an two more on the way an couldnt be happier!please count me in,thanks

She LOVES Her Kids to the MOON and BACK
that is me, what a wonderful saying
Caffeine Makes Her More CLEVER now that fits me
I love the Sisters make the Bestest Friends. I have an older sister and a younger sister. They are throwing ma a baby shower this weekend. I think about how they are always there for me, no matter what. Some families aren't so lucky to have such relationships.
My favorite pendant by Allison Strine is "She loves her kids to the moon and back". It doesn't get any better than that. Happy Mother's Day to all. Thanks for the giveaway.
I've been seeing this style and wanting a one very badly
I love SHES PLAYING IN THE DIRT AGAIN because I played in the dirt when I was a kid and my family can still find me in the garden.
"she has the soul of an Artist" is something that my mother has said about me, and now we concur is true of my daughter. That is wonderful and most assuredly speaks to my heart.
They Call Her CAMERA GIRL is my favorite. That is so me because I always have a camera with me.
She Started Living Her FABULOUS LIFE speaks to me, because I'm finally speaking up and taking charge of mine & my kids lives. I love her stuff!
I think I spent a half an hour just now looking through her site. It's so original and I love her work. That was fun! I picked out the PRINT of the LadyBird Collage entitled . . . She Colors WAY Outside the Lines as my favorite.
Every Little Boy She Loves Is Magic ....I have two little boys and they are always surprising me
Oh, caffeine makes her clever is cute, as I love my diet coke, and I love the "She loves her kids all the way to the moon and back". Because I really do love them that much.
I love
She Is PerFEctly IMPERFECT.
Thanks so much!
Allison's designs are marvelous and unique. I especially love the "She CARPES the DIEM" pendant.
I love EVERY LITTLE GIRL SHE LOVES IS MAGIC. We only have girls in our family - 3 daughters and my mom (who I'd give this to) has 8 granddaughters - with NO MORE coming.
The grandma "to the moon and back"is cute!ty 4 the great contest!:)
omgosh, i have to get the "She only uses her powers for GOOD, never EVIL." that's our favorite saying/joke in this house!
I like the "She Puts Her Big Girl Panties On and Deals With It - It is a Full Girdled Pendant . . . " because sometimes I'd rather run and hide (like spending too much time on the computer).
I love the She Dares to be Happy Pendent. :)
she loves being a mom..because i really really do :)
I like the pennt She Sees LIFE Through MOM Colored GLASSES . .
It reminds me of 2 of my children and me.
Love 'She Is PerFEctly IMPERFECT'. I'm subs to your feeds.
