Posted on by

Happy 2010! I hope you enjoyed the holidays, and that you were able to find a little time to relax as well!

I did and now I’m ready for more fun and surprises here on the blog. I’ve been thinking about the weekly giveaways, and how I might spice them up a bit for the new year!

I’ll need your help on this! To give your opinions on some of the ideas I’ve been considering – please click here!

And now, on to this week’s giveaway. 🙂

I can hardly believe this is my 59th giveaway! In all that time, we’ve never had a necklace and so to start 2010 off right, here’s a pretty design in blue/aqua.

“Blue Skies”

Blue Skies Necklace

It truly is that gorgeous sky-blue color that you see on a bright sunny day, and it features Czech beads that resemble swirled cinnamon buns! These beads have an iridescent flash on one side, and I’ve accented them with coordinating Swarovski crystals and smaller Czech glass spacers. The metal components are sterling silver and silver plate. The necklace measures 18-1/2” in length and fastens with a pretty toggle clasp.

Contest Rules and How To Enter

Any day you leave a comment on this blog – it is counted as a chance to enter that week’s giveaway.

For example, if you answer today’s question (you’ll find it below!) that will give you one chance.

But if you then come back tomorrow and comment on tomorrow’s post too – you will have earned another chance in this week’s giveaway – so you’ll have 2 chances!

Return on the next day, comment, and add another chance! And so on through the week. When you comment you do not have to mention that it’s an entry in the giveaway. My blog program shows me all of the “comments” as they come in – so I do not miss any of them, and all will count to be entered into the drawing! 😀

The giveaways end on Sundays, so you’ll have a little time to “catch up” if you missed any weekday posts.

Today’s question is:

What tourist attraction in your area have you never visited? It doesn’t have to be a world famous attraction – just a place that visitors to your area usually want to see.

{For us, it’s the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston. From all accounts it’s a fabulous place that’s rich in history with wonderful exhibits and photos. (Sir Beads-a-Lot, if you are reading this, let’s go there in 2010!)}

The Boring Stuff . . .
You must be 18 yrs. old. After the completion of the contest, the name of the winner will be listed here. The winner will also be notified by email. If the winner fails to respond to email within 3 days from the time notification email has been sent, the win will be null and void and a new winner will be chosen. The prize will be mailed via USPS First Class Mail

All entries must be received by 9:00 p.m. EST on 01/10/10, and the winner will be selected on or about 01/11/10.

  10. I live in Mobile, AL and one of our biggest historical attractions is the USS Alabama Battleship which I have never taken the time to see!

  11. Mine would be the D-Day Museum in New Orleans. I’ve heard it was breathtaking and moving, but haven’t had the chance to visit. Glad I found your blog!

  13. I live in Boston too, and I’ve never visited the JFK library either! It’s something I’ve been wanting to do! 🙂

    That necklace is so cool!

  19. Your necklace is beautiful. Makes me want to go to the beach. Too bad it’s 15 degrees outside. Brrrrrr

  21. I’ve never visited Andrew Jackson’s home, The Hermitage right outside of my town, Nashville.

  22. I’ve made it a point to visit points of interest in our area but I’ve never been to the Hueneme Lighthouse or Descanso Gardens. They’re on the list for this year.

  24. I lived on Guam for almost 15 years, and have seen almost everything. But there’s a bridge built when the Spanish ruled the island that is supposed to be beautiful and I’ve never gone and looked at it.

  25. I’m from Charlotte, NC and I’ve never been to the NASCAR museum … but it’s still sort of new ( … sort of … )

  34. we live near Dallas Texas, and have never been to Reunion Tower (it looks like a giant microphone). It is on every photo of Downtown Dallas. We really should go visit….

    Thanks
    Angie

  35. I have never visited the St. Louis Arch. I really want to go but my husband is afraid of heights.

  36. I have never visited the Kemah Boardwalk just south of Houston. The giveaway necklace is so pretty! My fingers are crossed!

  37. Well not that I’ve never been there ever, but I haven’t visited the museum of Civilization in years, and now especially because of my little girl I want to start going regularly again!

  38. I live in Canton, OH, and have never been to the Football Hall of Fame. Go to the JFK library – it is wonderful. I grew up in MA.

  40. I haven’t gone to see the Watch and Clock museum in our town, which is probably not in fact on any big tourist list. I live in the boonies, so people mostly come out here to see, um, outdoors. And our painted pumpjacks. If I was telling people when and why to come visit, I would say, come in summer, and enjoy the old Mill Pond! Free, accessible, and has a new gorgeous facility for changing and restrooms and stuff with a little History area to relax in. Except then it might get crowded, so um, never mind. Look, a pumpjack!

    I do really want to see the watch and clock museum, though. I’ll have to see about making that happen.

  43. we live very close to the basketball hall of fame and have never gone…yet my husband loves basketball

  46. We have never visited “The Hermitage” President Andrew Jackson’s former home in nearby Hermitage, TN

  47. It’s a really interesting question the one you’re asking to us, I live In Costa Rica, I never ever have been in a place called Tortuguero, you find there tortugas (“wild” turtles, that’s it), it’s a special place for them to come there and put their eggs, you can see as they proceed, I haven’t been there, because you need to go take a small boat and I’m afraid to them, lol. I’m a chicken in that field!, love to be entered to win the necklace!, thank you for the chance!

  49. I’ve never been to the Winchester Mystery House. We had some visitors from Quebec who came really wanting to see it. But most locals think of it as a kitchy tourist trap. Except my daughter who keeps asking to go there…
