Hi there 🙂
Welcome to week 17 of my weekly giveaways!
Every Monday I have a new contest and an item of jewelry is the giveaway.
If you are here for the first time, it’s very nice to meet you!
If you are one of my treasured regular readers – let me say again, “Thank you! You are the best!”
Be sure to either subscribe to this blog, or bookmark it, so you can easily check back every week for the latest giveaway and never miss any of the fun!!!
This week’s giveaway is a sterling silver and sodalite pendant.
A pretty blue cabochon stone is the focal point, and it’s set in a sleek sterling silver setting that features graceful swirls and scrolls.
Sodalite is a wonderful “denim blue” color with a white matrix.
This piece has a generous bail so it should fit on most chains or cords in your collection.
Measurements: Approximately 1-3/4” from top to bottom, including the bail.

first job ever – baking cookies for a kid’s party when i was 15. got paid a small sum, but hey, when you’re 15 anything goes!
my favourite breakfast… is simply jam on toast! i look forward to it every morning when i wake up. =)
in a ideal world, it would probably be birthday cake, but no that’s not going to happen. so toast it is!
and yes i’ve made jewelry before… i used to make dangly earrings, out of woven bead patterns. don’t have the time now tho!
My first job ever was running a daycare from my home.
My favorite breakfast is at a coney island I love. I always get fried eggs,bacon,hash browns and toast.
The only jewelry I ever made were those leather strap strips to lace into necklaces. I think I was about 9 years old.
First Job: Babysitting for a neighbor that owned a furniture store. First FUN job: Carhop at a rootbeer stand just outside of town. I could have paid THEM to work there. What a blast. And they had a go cart track in the back. Hoyt ran it and we’d ride free after work. Thanks for bringing back cool memories.
Favorite breakfast would be biscuit/potatoes and gravy from Cock a Doodle Cafe in Elkhart Indiana. They have the BEST fried fish on the supper menu too!
I make all kinds of jewelry. Stringing, seed bead weaving and beaded embroidery. I can wire wrap, but its not my forte. I just LOVE jewelry. (but not diamonds)
First job where I got paid was babysitting one summer for a family. My first job where I actually got pd and had to pay taxes was when I was 15 I worked at McDonalds.
=) melanie
My favorite breakfast is french toast or bagels from panera.
i have made myself bracelets & necklaces. I have also made children’s bracelets.
My first job was at a Tshirt store. I folded Tshirts all day long! 🙂 –Michelle
My favorite breakfast food is just good ole’ cereal with milk. I’m not a big fan of eggs or other traditional breakfast foods in the morning. I just want to wake up with my crunchy cereal. –Michelle
Yes, I have attempted to make jewelry. I bought a huge kit and read a book about how to do it. I made a necklace or two that I wear often. I would like to get better at it and make beautiful pieces!! Mine still look a little homemade. 🙂 –Michelle
first job. temporary service in a die casting factory.
favorite breakfast. sausage egg and cheese omelet
i have made bracelets earrings and necklaces and have dabbled in wire wrapped rings.
I was tutor!
Thanks!
Bacon, fried eggs and a toast!!!!
I have made jewellry but I ‘d love to learn more about it!
1. The first job that paid me money was working in a dog kennel cleaning, walking, and playing with dogs.
2. My favorite breakfast is pancakes and sausage links. I only ever have it when I go to a restaurant so I think that is why it is special.
3. I made clay beads and beads out of magazines but that was when I was in high school. If I could learn any type of jewelry making, I would want to know more about metal and how to shape/bend/polish/engrave it. Pretty much anything with metal.
I wrapped presents at a local department sore.
Just coffee!
I’ve never made jewelry.
I babysat, of course, but my first REAL job was as a travel coordinator for a time share place.
My favorite breakfast is the cinnamon bun french toast from IHOP.
I’ve made some beaded jewelry before.
My first paying job was babysitting.
My favorite breakfast is waffles with real maple syrup.
I have crafted a lot of stuff but never jewelry. Would be fun to learn.
Love to knit, and love your little knitted Easter eggs.
First job…baby sitting!
Favorite breakfast..with my beau on Christmas morning. Big fancy omelette, sausage and toast.
I’ve made native american style earrings, the triangle ones with fringe of porcupine quills but used antique seed beads they use to use on fancy dresses during the turn of the century through the 1940s. The colors are brillant. A different twist on traditional beadwork.
My first job was working for my father and his engineering firm. I had many different tasks.
My first paying job was at Kmart…as a checkout person.
I love Eggs Benedict!
Thanks!
I’ve never made any jewelry…but lately I have been seeking someplace local to learn.
Thanks!
My first job that ever paid me money was babysitting for my cousin!
My favorite breakfast is a Spanish Omelette, Bacon and French Toast! Yes, I have a big appetite 🙂
babysitting thanks for the giveaway
I used to make hemp jewelry but I have unfortunately forgotten how to braid everything in the years that have past.
Babysitting the neighbor’s kids.
Thanks
My first paid job was babysitting for my little cousin. I loved making my own money.
My first job was typing addresses on envelopes for my Mom!! She had a job doing that and would pass it onto me when she was short of time. My mentioning the typing part reveals my age!! LOL!
My favorite breakfast would include fried potatoes AND fresh fruit!! YUM! Actually, I’d be happy with the fresh fruit! Hmmmm, fruit filled crepes would be nice too.
Yes, I have made jewelry in a previous life but it was short-lived. I didn’t have the patience to get into beading much. I still have some french ear-wires around here to remind me!
