I would love to tell you how much I loved her work first. I would love to tell you how I have not taken off my personalized MomDot necklace in two months and I would love to tell you that I wore it proudly during the Hot Blogger Calendar shoot, but I wont tell you that first.

Instead, Let me tell you that Kristen Andrews is honestly one of the nicest online work at home moms I have ever had the pleasure of speaking with. It says a lot for her as a person, and as an individual, that she created something from a simple idea to reality. I have seen people advocating for Kristen all over the web, posts and sites that adore her and her jewelry and now I know why. Simply put, from beginning to arrival on my doorstep, working with Kristen was never a chore, but a privilege.

MomDot was created on the premise that everyone should share, cross promote, and assist eachother to be better women, mothers, and bloggers. It takes a village…. Kristin created us a “MomDot” necklace, complete with our site colors and a personalized initial so I could wear my pride everywhere I went. The only time I have removed my necklace was when my daughter asked to wear it. The package arrived with information on her business and the necklace which was elegantly and safely packaged for me.

All sterling silver is 925 and is Nickel free, I hand select all materials and will only work with high quality materials. If I wouldn’t wear it myself I will not sell it. All pieces are oxidized by hand with a Eco-friendly method, I do not use a Sharpie marker to blacken the letters. When purchasing a piece from Kristen’s Custom Creations you are purchasing unique one of a kind items that are often duplicated but never a original of Kristen’s Custom Creations.

In addition to her booming etsy business, Kristen has a great blog here. One of my favorite items that I have to recommend for the Christmas season is this stocking stuff perfect for dad (or grandpa!) shown to the right

We are honored to giveaway a customized MOMDOT necklace or another creation by Kristen up to a $40 value from her store to one lucky MomDot reader and fan.

We realize someones natural question would be “Why do I want MomDots name and not my blog name.” The simple reason we are offering one of our own, is so you can wear a connection to all blogs and moms. We consider ourselves a community, not just a random “blog” and want you to know that we consider all our visitors a part of our community as well.  However, if you would like something with your blog name or kids name on it, you can get that as well, as long as it doesnt exceed $40.

We also encourage our visitors to purchase one of their own with a special price through Kristens Custom Creations and pick up some other great personalized, hand made gifts as well.
