I live in the U.S.A. and I believe we should support our local business's and I am all for buying from local artist or artist who live in the U.S.A.. Last spring I found this blog called Every day Keepsakes with homemade charms and such and fell in love with her items. When I saw this camera wax seal charm with the heart I fell for it, I had to have it! Wow!
I used to play with wax seals on letters and envelopes and this was just too cute to pass up! It is silver but I decided to go with the oxidized version. I've always been a gold person but the past few years I've starting mixing silver with gold and love the combination. She now is also selling bronze items too!
Michael wanted a wax seal charm too and he chose the dog paw print, he loves it! He wanted the shiny silver!The service was absolutely wonderful too and each item came in a cute little gift box. This weekend she is having a buy one get one free special and also a weekend giveaway on her blog.
or to check out more of her items as she doesn't just make wax seal charms, there is soo much more...
Support an awesome artist that makes quality items! She can also personalize items too!

Hi Wendy! My name is Meghan and I have never been to south texas. I was barely in texas only once in my life near Dallas. We're in Ohio but a job with the border patrol might it bring us to south texas in the near future. I'm trying to connect with mom's and bloggers so I can find out what life is like for real down there. I have this terrible stereotypical ideal of it in my head involving heat, lizards, and languages I don't speak. Can you tell me the upsides of life there? Hope you're having a great day and FYI i searched "life in south texas" and you were #2 on google.
Meghan I am originally from Michigan and have lived here in the Goliad area for the past 12 yrs. We spend a lot of time in Laredo too, as that is where my husband works. I love it here and no I do not speak spanish but my husband is of Mexican decent and he does. The language down here is English and you will have no problems. When I go to Laredo I've never had any problems and the people are very friendly and always willing to help. It does get Hot here but there is a thing called Air conditioning and almost every one and place has it. April through October temps range in the 90's to 100's during the day. You get used to it. Sometimes the Humidity is terrible, like up around the great lakes and now that we are in drought conditions the Humidity isn't too bad. I don't mind the heat. I moved here to get away from the snow and cold.
Yes there are critters but you don't see them that often. There are lizards, fire ants (which I hate), scorpions, snakes but not in the house, outside most of the time. I do have our house sprayed and it keeps the critters to a minimum. I've just learned to deal with them, they aren't after you but just trying to live as they always have. Laredo area is bad for ticks but you just take precautions. Have your animals treated for ticks and fleas and spray your clothes with off. All my animals are treated for fleas and ticks and I don't have a problem with them.
Send me an email at wsw66@yahoo.com and I can answer your questions and tell you more. I do love Texas, it's my home now, and the people here are the best!!
