DIY Jewlery Presents

This year I wanted to make some homemade, DIY Christmas gifts for my family! In July I had injured my lower back really bad and couldn't even get from the couch to my bed without being in pain! So I started making jewelry again, which I hadn't in years!! I forgot how much fun it is to create something for yourself or someone you love! So for the Christmas gifts I'm making I already had all the beads, tools, and string I needed to make something special for my mom, my grandma, and my niece! I hope when they open it on Christmas they will know how much time, effort, and love I put into the jewelry! 😊💝


These beads are from Hobby Lobby and so is the bead organizer! -which is a MUST!!!


This Jewelry making kit is from Target and it's AMAZING!! It came with cute letter beads, pliers, jump rings, chains, and clasps! All for around $15/$20


Of course I had to be festive and make the Christmas jewelry presents next to our Christmas tree while watching all 3 of "The Santa Clause" movies ! 




Here is the personalized name necklaceI made for my mom. These can be very pricy on Etsy and she said that she had been wanting one! Can't wait to watch her open it!! 😍


I made this bracelet for my grandma with these beautiful blue glass beads and her initials! 


One for my mom too!


I made this neon green choker necklace with fun letter beads for my 5 year old niece in California. Unfortunately, they are not coming home for Christmas this year! But I am sending them a package with Christmas goodies and decided to put this in there for my niece!! 💖 The metal clamps and clasp was very hard to get on the string!! It took my FOREVER!! 
But it's worth the time for my sweet Sophia!


I am a sucker for nice boxes! I can never throw them away when I get new jewelry from the store! I'm so glad I saved them, because it was perfect to put the jewelry I made inside and wrap it up!!



Here is the handmade jewelry inside the gift boxes! 😍



My favorite piece was this necklace I made for my mom. Mainly because I know this was on her list and I got to create what she wanted!! Yay! 😘


Here is the wrapping paper kit I found at Target with everything I needed to wrap the jewelry boxes! For only $10.00!! 




I hope you're all enjoying this Christmas season making and buying gifts for your friends and family!! Let me know if you decided to make a homemade gift! Comment on here or message me on my Instagram! @_valerie_burton I would LOVE to connect with you!!!

XoXo~ Valerie 💋

How to roll with the change

Although I've still been going into my office Tuesday-Friday at church, I'm starting to feel a little trapped on my weekends at home... And I just got word that I will be working from home staring tomorrow. These past couple weekends I've found some tips and tricks for me to not feel so stuck during this time. I hope some of this helps you as well! Note: this is all based off my personal experience and opinion.  1. Get dressed!  I know this sounds so simple! I found on the days I actually get ready (not full glam) but a normal outfit (for me leggings/joggers and a sweatshirt) I found I feel more motivated to get things done! The days I stay in my pajamas I end up just wanting to watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians on the couch all day long! Not saying there is anything wrong with that! But I also NEED to get some stuff done around the house and I just found that getting dressed helps me to do it! 2. Adjust your focus. When I start focusing on the...

Well the big secret is out! Tyler and I are going to have a baby this October!! While this was a pretty huge surprise for us we are so excited! I was saying before we found out that we're pregnant how I want to get more prepared before we start having kids by paying off our credit cards, getting better about managing our money, to get physically strong and fit....but I'm now realizing we have the rest of our lives to do those things! Goals are great don't get me wrong, but God's timing is perfect and I think I was just using those things as an excuse because deep down I was unsure if I was really ready to become a mom! Ever since finding out that I'm pregnant I'm really seeing God's hand on all of it. I've always wanted to be pregnant in the summer time and I used to always think about how October is a great month to have a birthday! (Everyone is back from summer vacation and it's before the holidays) to find out I am due Oct. 20th and I'll be ...
