A photo charm is a beautiful way to remember someone special on your wedding day. Attach it to your wedding bouquet to keep that person close to your heart all day long. You could also use photo charms to frame a small poem or phrase that means something special to you. Simply type the words out making sure that the text that will fit the frame and print off. You could frame anything that has sentimental value and is small enough to fit, such as dried flowers or newspaper clippings.

Angie also has an interesting story behind her shop name. Here is a quote from the ‘About’ section of her shop.
‘Years ago I was trying to set up a new e-mail address on Yahoo. Every name I was selecting had already been taken, and I realized I’d wasted a lot of time and still hadn’t accomplished anything! Our dog Spike was needing to go outside and when I got up he smiled at me and was so excited to finally be going out… so out we went and in the sunlight his black coat shone almost blue. He was my smiling blue dog. I’ve stuck with it ever since.’
