Day 26 Guiveaway -with just 3 more to go

If you want to win, enter now, we are coming towards the end of the 29 Days of Giving.


Today I have three pairs of earrings for your wearing pleasure.  Or you could share them with two of your friends or family member if you choose.  The choice is yours.  :-)
These White Angels are the first pair. Because you have have been such sweet angels following my blog, tweeting the giveaways, subscribing to my blog feed, leaving such wonderful and sweet comments, and becoming my friends,  They are made with glass beads and sterling silver french hooks.

This next pair of beaded gold doves because I dream for you all to fly high with all of your arts and crafts.  You are all so very talented and wish the best for you all.  These are bead woven with Delica seed beads and are on a gold toned french hook.

This last pair is from my Hot Air Balloon series. I chose these because I dream of one day being able to meet each and everyone of you in person, and of course I would have to get there some how, why not via a hot air balloon.  These are Japanese seed beads and also utilize a sterling silver french hook ear wire.

Day 25 Giveaway - with only 5 days left

Today I have something I made a few years back, when my eyes were in much better shape and I was able to do bead weaving on a regular basis.  Actually during that time I was bead weaving constantly.  I couldn't get enough of it and wove beads while in the car on my way to a doctor's appointment, I wove while waiting to see the doctor, I also wove in front of the TV, while chatting with friends over a cup of coffee, when I went to visit my Mother, and anytime I was sitting still I was working those beads into one project or another.

What I have today is a Beaded Lighter Cover.  It fits over a Bic lighter. If you smoke, or light candles, burn your trash or fallen leaves, are an arsonist (only kidding), or know someone that uses a lighter for whatever reason.... then enter to win today's giveaway.

The pattern on the lighter cover is my own design.  It has a white background with hearts in various sizes and colors around the entire cover.  It is easy to replace the lighter (it will NOT ship with the lighter, I believe that is against the postal regulations) by simply pushing the bottom of the lighter up and our of the cover.  But it is tight enough that the lighter will not slip out on it's own.  With this unique cover no one will mistake this lighter for their own,  they may try and talk you out of it, or try and take it for themselves.  It is a One Of A Kind!  I promise!


If you would like to win this lovely gift then follow the rules below for your chance to win.

The other side of the lighter cover.

NOTE:  I will be posting the winners of the 3rd week of giveaways tomorrow.

Day 23 Giveaway - What Do You See?

Do you remember on Day 5 Giveaway where I gave away a Red Cuff bracelet?  Well today we are having the Green Cuff Bracelet.  This one is larger and will fit most people.  It's fits me and I am NOT a tiny gal, that is for sure.

I made this with a variety of glass beads, stone beads, metal beads, and cat's eye chip beads strung on five strands of memory wire.  Because of the way it is made, there is no clasp to fiddle with,  it is very comfortable and adjust to the wearers wrist size.




This giveaway is open World Wide.
**Mandatory Entry**
Post a comment to my question:
What "bad" food is your weakness?

My Answer:

Chocolate -especially since I am allergic and it causes me to have migraine headaches. :-(

Day 29 of 29 - Day Giving Challenge

Final Day of My Challenge!

Today is the last day of give-a-ways for my 29 - Day Giving Challenge. You can still enter days 23 through days 29 though until March 19th.

Today's gift is a choker made from super soft suede and sliced shells (can't think of the type of shell at the moment, sorry ... I'm a wee bit sick, and not feeling well) that closes with hook-n-loop tape. It's very comfortable to wear and looks especially adorable on a young lady.

This is short, as I'm not feeling well but wanted to get my last day of giving posted. I will talk more tomorrow (if I am feeling better) about the 29 - Day Giving Challenge.

I can say that this WILL NOT be the last of my giving or give-a-ways.

And that you should really take a look at the 29 - Day Giving Challenge blog and find out what it is all about. It's pretty awesome what can come of it.
To be entered to win, just leave a comment on this post.
So until I feel better, Good Luck and don't forget to keep reading for more give-a-ways.

Day 27 of 29 - Day Giving Challenge

Winners have been picked for days 19 through 22. I will be posting the winners names on Friday.

For today's gift I have two items made by moi. The first is a quilled 'thinking of you' greeting card that is blank inside (so that you can write whatever your heart pleases. It has a window cut out, which is framed and has lilacs inside. It comes with an envelope.


The next item is a multi-colored bead and leather bracelet. It is on the small side as it measures 6-3/4 inches. The bracelet is uni-sex and would work for a small adult or a teenage girl or boy.

So if you are interested in these items, just leave a comment on this post. And you can still enter the previous give-a-ways, day 23 to the current one (this one).
