When Kristen Andrews, creator and designer behind Etsy's Kristen's Custom Creations, asked me if I could help feature her hand stamped jewelry pieces on Hip Mama's Place, I was more than happy to oblige her. I mean, how could anyone say no to these exquisite, beautiful jewelry pieces? Actually, I didn't feel obliged at all. I was delighted to feature her creations on HMP.. more than anything. (Thanks, Kristen!)
Kristen offers a gorgeous collection of hand stamped, custom-made necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and key chains- mostly in sterling silver.
"I hand create each item in my shop and love creating custom pieces for my customers. Most of my pieces are sterling silver but honestly I stamp on just about anything I can get my hands on!", Kristen says. 
Honestly, it was hard to choose what I wanted to get while browsing through Kristen's Custom Creations, especially when I could only pick one. So I rounded it down to three top choices, stared hard at each of them, and ended up with this simple yet captivating "Live, Love, Laugh" sterling silver charm necklace. It's a beautiful piece that has a handwrapped freshwater pearl gracefully hanging on an 18 inch sterling silver snake chain. So meticulously crafted!
I love wearing this with my girly white tops and casual jeans- simple, yet classy.
Looking for that last-minute gift for your dear husband, father, daddy brother or friend? Show them how you feel with this "My Dad" key chain. Or if you want to declare your own mom pride, get yourself this "Proud Mama" sterling stamped bracelet that includes a sterling silver double sided photo charm to show off two fave pics of your precious babies. All these and more, at Kristen's Custom Creations on Etsy.
Kristen also actively supports the cause of GildasClub.org, a non profit organization formed in honor of Gidner Radner to help people dealing with cancer. A portion of the proceeds of each "Live, Love, Laugh" necklace you purchase goes towards supporting this organization.

Honestly - I love the Patience Necklace - I think I pray 100 times a day "Lord give me patience!" This would be such a great reminder - and fitting of my life with toddlers :)

I like the 'My Dad' Keychain. Great giveaway, thanks Jocelyn!
I like so many of them, but my favorite is the "Live, Love, Laugh" necklace.
We used that saying at my Dad's funeral recently relating to how he lived his life. This necklace would be a perfect reminder of that philosophy.
I hope you dance bracelet, for me...
I love the dad key chain....great father's day gift!!
Other than the one that you're giving away (gorgeous!) I like the 'Well Loved Mama' charm - and just about everything else on her site. :)
My favorite is teh Follow Your Dreams.
She does beautiful work, and if Kristen is reading this I so want to thank her for supporting Gilda's Club. It is such a wonderful charity, one that is near and dear to me sonce my husband was diagnosed wiith cancer last year.
Live, Love, Laugh IS my favorite! Great Etsy shop.
Wow, what great jewlely! I love the Lucky one as well as the Loved and how can you not want to throw on the Live Laugh Love necklace. Thanks
april_epperson(at)yahoo.com
I like the simple initial piece, althought I might be tempted with one of the light blue charms too.
I really love the "Never Say Never" and "Patience" necklaces. I think they would be good reminders to help me through my days with the kids!
I love the "patience" necklace, with 3 kids that's just what I have and probably need more off in the future :)

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12148763
A beautiful motto to live by! Thanks for the giveaway. :)
I love the one that says "Honey Baby". My husband always calls me "Hunny" (spelled a wee bit different). He never calls me by name, it's always "Hunny". I even have a tattoo with a little honey pot (like from Winnie the Pooh) with the word "Hunny" above it with little bees. So that necklace would have a lot of significance for me.
I also love the simple heart and initial. And the one with the two different initials on it (one for each of my kids).
