Posted on by

Greetings! 🙂

First I’d like to say a great big “thank you” for all of last week’s clever, thought provoking, and sometimes hilarious comments. You really outdid yourselves. I loved reading each and every one!

Here in New England, we finally had a little snow this weekend. The timing seemed perfect too! Sir Beads and I attended his company Christmas party on Saturday night. Just as we left to return home, we saw that the snow was falling softly all around us. The combination of the holiday party with the blanket of snow and the beautifully frosted tree branches really put us in the mood for Christmas. 🙂

But in case you’re dreaming of a warm vacation around now, this week’s giveaway is a pair of earrings that are the color of a tropical sea.

These “Tropical Seas” earrings feature faceted Czech beads in a lovely shade of teal blue/green. They have a matte metallic finish and I’ve accented them with Swarovski Jet-Metal Rondelle Spacers, which are set with Aurora Borealis Crystals. They measure approximately 1-5/8 inches long – including the 14k gold plated earwires

  2. I would own a non-profit animal rescue, probably dog.

    When I read the question, I thought…lifeguard and I could spend all day at the beach. But really, I think I would be bored with that, even though I would be happy to be in the sun. Then I thought about how leathery my skin would be and decided I would just stick with a day at the beach.

    Then, I by passed thinking of a job that I could sew, crochet or bead all day. Nice hobbies. Wonderful way to be able to make a living. But that didn’t quite get it.

    Then I thought about my biggest dream of being a millionaire and what I would do with the money. It always comes back to a state of the art pet refuge with on staff vets and easy living for the dogs. I don’t think I have the stomach for being a vet so the next best thing would be the owner of the facility that rescues dogs.

    Yes, that’s what I wanna be when I grow up. Spend my day with dogs and finding homes for them. That would bring great peace to my heart.

    Surprised?

  3. Hi Crystal!

    I’m so happy you got some snow! YAY!!! It’s always nice when it comes before Christmas! =D

    Your new earrings are just beautiful! I love those teal/green faceted beads…such a pretty color!

    I’d be an artist. 🙂

    Hugs, Paulette

  4. Crystal, I’d have to say I have no interest in Facebook or Twitter. I can’t even keep up with my blogging, why add anything else to the mix!
    Hugs, 😉

  5. I have to agree with Paulette. No Facebook, Twitter, You Tube…. or any of the social networking sites for me.

    I just don’t get why people would be interested in every little thing I am doing. No desire to share life’s minutia.

    I’d rather just blog about crafts.

  7. Bashing the President – or anyone for that matter. Negative people pull me down. Life’s too short to live on the down side.

  11. I’d love to be a web designer. I will die to have that knowledge!

    Thanks for the opportunity to enter this giveaway!

  12. I really don’t get videogames, not matter how exciting and clever they can be I really don’t get why I should site for hours leaving a virtual reality when I already have too much stuff to do in the real life

  13. I would be a librarian….preferably in a huge library. I love everything about books and would find it to be a soothing job.

  15. Greetings! I have always felt like I need at least 10 lifetimes to do all that I want to do in the world. Being in a Broadway musical, a Peace Corp
    worker, adopt several children, etc. Thanks, Cindi

  18. If I could have any job, I’d love to do some sort of biological research that doesn’t require mice or animals, and had the possibility of seriously helping people in the world. That would be awesome.

  21. My dream job would to be a police officer or dea special agent. Great giveaway the earrings are beautiful. Marian

  22. I would work in the National Archives. I’m just not sure if if would be our nation (the U.S.) or England. But it’s a fantasy anyways so why not England.

  24. I would like to have the gift to draw exactly what I see and create realistic portraits of people. But as for a job, I wouldn’t mind being a doctor so that I could actively help discover a cure for cancer.

  26. It’s not exactly new, but cell phones with a touchscreen. It’s cool and inventive, but a pain in the butt. I have no desire to own a touchscreen phone.

  30. If I could have any job in the world, I would want to be the person that gets to think up nail polish names!

  31. Something everyone else seems into that I’m just not… the Tiger Woods scandal! I’m tired of it all over the news!

  32. In all seriousness- I HAVE my dream job! Being a Stay-at-home-mom was my dream since I was a child! I only wish that I could have stayed at home full-time from the start. We weren’t able to make it happen until my oldest was already 5! 🙁

  33. I think I would like to be an attorney; although I do not think I could get through law school!! I have already put 2 husbands through. (don’t ask!!)

  34. I have enjoyed reading the responses about what people are over/don’t get. I have to agree with most of them: Twitter, Facebook, Twilight, video games, Jon & Kate + 8. I am really not into American Idol.

  35. My dream job for many years was to be a foster parent. Last March that dream came true and we have been able to be a part of the lives of 10 beautiful children so far. It’s everything I hoped it would be and so much more!

  40. I would like to be a film critic or food critic. That way I can enjoy a movie or food and write about it!

    Beautiful earrings. 🙂

  44. Actually, I have been thinking that I would like to publish a blog – just about my everyday life, nature, photos, stories, thoughts. I may have all the talents needed for that already.

  46. leggings under baggy sweaters (no pants/skirt/dress)…

    hello people who do this,
    the general public would appreciate if you would please wear pants. god forbid a big wind blow-up your sweater and scare anyone around you for life…so just don’t leave home without pants anymore. k? thanks.

  48. I would be a travel writer. I love doing all the research on new places and find unique things to do.
