I was immediately hooked! I had seen these before and never really knew what they were, but I really liked them. I was so excited for the party and looked at charms and lockets to get ideas for my own locket until the day of the party.
I picked my charms around the important things in my life so that it would tell my story. I started with the four leaf clover charm. This one was to represent the four years that I spent in 4-H. I loved raising animals, meeting friends, and spending time with my family. I'm too old to be a part of 4-H now, but I still wish I could be in the wonderful organization. Next, I added the sister heart charm. My sister means the world to me and she is one of my best friends. My third charm, was the baseball. When I was little, my dad would always take me to the D-backs games. It was one of my favorite things to do, and still is! Now I go with my boyfriend, who played ball through little league and high school, more often then my dad. But on occasion, Dad gets to go too. The next charm I added was the dog bone. This was to represent my puppy Sadie. Sadie is one and a half. She's an Australian Shepherd who is FULL of energy. My second to last charm was the music note. This is in here just because I love listening to music. Last but not least, I added the yellow awareness ribbon. When it comes to these ribbons, they can represent a lot of different things. For me, it represents childhood cancer. This is for two reasons. The first is because my boyfriend has kidney cancer when he was only two. The second is for the program he introduced me to. I volunteer to help children who have had or have cancer with Outdoor Experience 4 All. Here is my first locket:
After picking my locket and chain, I knew that this was something I wanted to do. I immediately signed up to be a designer and as of today I'm officially starting! :)
