Leslie Lewis Designs Giveaway

A beautiful giveaway today. From jewelry designer (and fellow Colorado girl), Leslie Lewis. You could win this gorgeous Not Your Mother's Pearls necklace. Five perfect strands. And then you could wear it out on the town. Or to the grocery store. Either way, you'd look lovely sporting such an elegant creation.

Go to Leslie's site to see more of her jewelry. Earrings. Bracelets. Necklaces. At lots of different price ranges. Some of my favorites? The Classic Bali, Precious Metals, and Posh. But really, my favorite is the one up for grabs in this giveaway. Isn't it beautiful?

Tracey Clark Giveaway

It was so much fun to have a photoshoot with Tracey Clark, that I thought I'd share some Tracey love with you in today's Giveaway. The lucky winner will receive 2 things:

1) A free registration to attend Picture Spring — it's a 30-day online photo course being taught by Tracey. And you won't want to miss it. Here's a description: You'll use the daily photo prompt to help open your mind and guide your lens to see and capture your life and the world around you. Whether you are an expert photographer, or just starting out, this project will help you see things in a completely new light. Doesn't that sound wonderful?




2) The winner will also receive a copy of Tracey's beautiful book, Waiting for Baby. I've seen this guided journal in real life and it is gorgeous. A perfect gift for yourself or for that pregnant someone in your life.

To enter, just leave a comment below. The winner will be announced on Monday. Good luck!

Jo Totes Giveaway

Friends, I have a feeling you are going to extra-love today's giveaway. Jo Totes is offering two perfect camera-bags-for-ladies to two lucky winners. Lined in pretty fabric and organized into perfect little pockets for your camera gear — plus all the little things you like to carry in a handbag (wallet, snack, phone, notebook, etc.).



Finding a perfect camera bag can be a challenge but this is such a well-thought out accessory that even if you're not carrying your camera (or don't own one), you'll love carrying this as your everyday bag.

Leave a comment below to enter. I'll announce two winners on Monday.

P.S. — I think the green is my favorite. What's yours?

Vintage Pearl Giveaway

Fantastic Giveaway today, Friends. Erin from the Vintage Pearl has generously offered up two $75 gift certificates to her lovely shop. That means two winners!

Isn't it fun to browse her wares and decide which pretty little bauble you'd like the most? Or how you'll customize it? Maybe you'll find something perfect for you — and for a friend. I'm especially loving the Mamabird necklace cut from copper. (Such a bargain — only $25!) And the sweet little baby spoons. Oh. And this initial necklace.




I think I might have Erin make a little anklet for this daughter about to come into our lives. I love seeing tiny, pearl-strewn anklets on little girls. Leave a comment to enter. The two winners will be announced on Monday. Good luck!

Holiday Giveaway #17 — Cricut

This is it, Dear Readers. The final Giveaway in the 2009 version of Holiday Giveaway Week. And it's big. And I think you will love it. It's sponsored by Cricut (a tool that I love). You could win a Cricut Expression — which retails for $349.99. Plus more. The Cricut Expression includes a cartridge. But. The winner of this Giveaway will receive an additional cartridge as well! Cartridges retail for $69.99. That's a pretty darn fantastic prize!

Really, it's perfect timing. You can use it too make your holiday gift tags. Your Christmas cards. Your Kwannza invitations. You can use it to make garlands and wrapping accents. And all sorts of lovely stuff you haven't even thought of yet.




Don't know what a Cricut is? That's okay. Six months ago, I didn't either. Basically, it's a super-awesome diecut machine. You tell it what to cut. How big. How many. And then you enjoy a cup of hot cocoa while it does the work. Want to see what it can make? Here are a few of links to get you started. I'm so excited for the lucky winner of this prize! I think she will have so much fun putting it to use.

Leave a comment to enter. The winner will be announced on Monday 12/7. Hooray for Holiday Giveaway Week. I hope you've had so much fun playing along!

Holiday Giveaway #14 — Kistner Supply

The fourteenth Giveaway is sponsored by Kistner Supply. This lovely company is offering a Mother Stork’s Baby Book with handmade gift bag and 2 extra packets of photo corners — a $150 value. Yay!

This baby book has a pretty great story. Basically, the Kistner Supply founder discovered her Grandmother's baby book, filled in by her Great Grandmother, and she loved the book so much that she made a goal to get the original 1904 version republished and started a company to do just that.




Happily for all of us, she succeeded. The republished 100 year anniversary edition of Mother Stork's Baby Book is now in its third printing. And clearly, to purchase one for your child is to have an heirloom in the making. You can take a tour of the inside pages here. Vintage and charming and really just lovely.

By the way, the book was so successful, that Kistner Supply has expanded their offerings. Don't miss their gorgeous cashmere goodies. Leave a comment to enter. The winner will be announced on Monday 12/7. Find out more about Holiday Giveaway Week here.

Congratulations to Kris Livovich! You are the lucky winner. Happy Holidays!

Holiday Giveaway #13 — Mondo Beyondo

Lucky number 13 is a Giveaway to help you dream big. No. I mean bigger than that. Really big. Great, great big. Mondo Beyondo big. That's right. The prize is two spots (read: two winners) in the January session of Mondo Beyondo. One for you. And one for you.



Jen Lemen and Andrea Scher, two of the worlds most sincere, inspired and inspiring people, offer a 5-week online class about dreaming big. ("Online" means you can take the class no matter where you live.) Both women are artists, writers, mothers and just overall good souls. Both women know how to think big and make things happen. Both women are a joy to speak with. A delight to spend time with.

And the class is super popular. I believe the January session is the 3rd or 4th one. And from what I understand, they always sell out. So if you're interested, I suggest you sign up pronto. It's a don't miss. It's a win win. It's sparkly. And delicious.

This is exactly what you need to throw the most wonderful Christmas party ever. Can't you just imagine it full of some gorgeous cranberry punch concoction?

What? Giveaway number 10 already? Rad. This Giveaway is sponsored by Style Paige. And the prize is fantastic. It's a Shailie Starter Kit, which retails for $249. I just blogged about this new product last week. I think it's brilliant. The kit comes with a child-size, real-life dress form. A "base" skirt and top that are covered in velcro. And fabric pieces that attach to the velcro — so your kids can create their own dressups. Super smart, right?




Plus. There are add-on kits if you're looking for more fabric pieces. Love it.

Plus also. Wouldn't that pink polka dot dress form look so good next to the tree on Christmas morning?
