January is a busy, busy month in our family birthday wise and this year was busier than ever!
Between family and friends we have so many birthdays it is hard to keep track.
I spent a lovely few days away with family for the celebrations.
It was one of my best friend's 30th birthday and I was able to go to her surprise party which was great! She wasn't really that surprised though, she had figured out something was going on!
As it was a special birthday I decided to make her a special necklace. I used rose quartz and pearls which combined symbolise love, wisdom and loyalty. The swarovski crstals add a little sparkle too :-)
These beautiful white pearls combine beautifully with the rose quartz which was reclaimed from an old necklace given to me to use by my mum. We had a great time and it was lovely to see my wonderful friends who all live far and wide. Thank goodness for the internet helping us stay in touch!

That was closely followed by my (not so) little brother's 28th birthday and the next day my niece (his daughter) turned 1! We thought she would arrive on his birthday last year but he spent it driving my sister in law back and forth to the hospital and she didn't arrive until the day after. She really is the most beautiful gift to us all :-)
Combine all that with my friend's son who is 2, my Nana turning 81 and various other assorted family members it has been a busy month!
I have been banned by my mum from adding to the January chaos with my own children but I had to remind her that isn't always possible! Who knows what will happen but knowing my family, it wouldn't be a surprise!
