The creativity gene

I was born into a wonderful very talented family. My sister Courtney was given the creativity talent from our Heavenly Father. She can reuse anything and turn it into a work of art. I never creased to be amazed by her. From painting to sewing to jewelry making there is nothing she can't do. Last night Elaine went to get her hair done by Carissa. (Who is amazingly gifted with hair.) While we were there I noticed Courtney's newest creation in jewelry making laying on my sister Carli's wrist, button bracelets. They are adorable and one of a kind. Court was kind enough to come by after work and make one for Elaine and me.







I love it! She has tons of different funny buttons she can put together in any combination. These were ones my grandmother had given her from a collection my great-aunt Evelyn had when she died. So they even have some sentimental value. I am going to make an Etsy shop for all of her little bursts of creativity. So stayed tuned for that.

Courtney LeLe I love you and am so grateful you are my sister. You are not only extremely gifted you are so beautiful inside and out. You have the kindest heart I have ever had the privilege of knowing and are a shining example of Christlike attributes to all who surround you. Thank you for being who you are and making me want to be better.

You're such a great sister Chantelle...you always have something kind to say about your family on your blog! I remember that Courtney was always very creative. That bracelet is so cute and unique!

Chantelle, it is so cute, I love Courtney too! Eventhough she didn't make me a bracelet. I saw Carissa wearing hers and Carli wearing hers, but come to think of it she works so much I haven't seen Courtney in several days with our crazy work schedules. I'll have to ask her for one, they are soooo cute. Love, Mom
