Sunny Side Up: Giveaway!

Giveaway!

I am so excited to announce this giveaway! Amber, a darling mom from Kansas who reads my blog (and always leaves the sweetest comments), wants to give away something special to one of my readers. Amber has an Etsy shop and sells unique hand stamped jewelry. She has beautiful "timeless treasures" that you can purchase online or you can have her create something unique and special just for you.

I wanted something simple that included each of my kids' names and a blue jewel stone. This necklace Amber made me couldn't be more perfect!

I love this necklace so much! I wear it all the time and always get compliments on it. Plus my girls think it's so cool I'm wearing their names around my neck. :) I know they feel special whenever I have it on.

This is another piece I love from her shop! You can visit her Etsy shop or her blog to see some of the beautiful jewelry she has created.
Amber is giving one of my readers $30.00 credit to her shop so you can create something beautiful for yourself! Just leave a comment to enter the giveaway and I'll pick a winner Thursday evening (Sept. 23).
So take a peek at her shop and then go ahead and leave a comment - you have nothing to lose! And it's so great to support mom-preneurs. Especially really nice ones. Really nice ones who also make beautiful jewelry.

Thanks again Amber!

p.s. Thinking I need to audition for a job at QVC. I'm clearly a natural at this whole jewelry modeling thing. I mean look at those freckles! Nothing shows off sterling silver like freckles. At least that's what I always say... ;)

Hi Erin
I'd really love that necklace. I lost my baby boy two 1/2 weeks ago to an unexplained miscarriage, and I was just wondering where I could find a necklace that would include all my kids' names, including baby Oliver. Off I go to check out the site.

I absolutely love these necklaces! They are so darling! I told my hubby I wanted one of these as a "push present" when I had my 3rd.... guess he didn't listen!! I never got one!!

I however have no freckles, so I'm sure it won't be as cute on me as it is on you! But... I'd still like one to add my little munchkins names to one. :0)

I would love to have a necklace with my two girls names on it. I love the thought that they would be close to my heart! I liked several items at the shop so I'll definitely have to send some hints to my hubby for possible Christmas gifts!:) Thanks!

 
At September 20, 2010 at 5:41 PM , Blogger Lindsey said...

I love that one of yours- simple and yet so perfect. Do you think that would work for five kids or would it just weigh me down?!!

 
At September 20, 2010 at 6:02 PM , Blogger The Harrises said...

You are obviously blessed more in the chest than I am. It's probably nursing. I think I would have to get a new bra to make my necklace dazzle.

Geez! I hope you have time to read all these comments. Crazy.

I would love to win! I actually have bookmarks on our computer of different companies and websites that make similar pieces. I told Mitch that I wanted something like this for mothers day but being a student and not having a penny to our name we just can't afford it. I love that this jewelry is hand made and so personal. I would love to be able to wear Malia's name around my neck and add to it later down the road when we have more kids and hopefully a little money... Who ever wins this is going to have a beautiful piece of jewelry that is timeless, priceless, and something they will hopefully wear forever! Simply Divine! Love it!
