green | Bead Happily Ever After

Oh, hi there. 🙂

Welcome to my weekly giveaway!

You know, winter can be so beautiful when everything is covered in a fresh blanket of snow . . . but once that snow melts – the bare brown landscape looks awfully bleak. It’s then that I begin to look for signs of Spring.

Now, when I think “Spring”, the color green, um, “springs” to mind. (Sorry for the pun; I couldn’t resist.) 😉

I designed these earrings as a reminder that the trees will soon be in bud again!

“Signs of Spring”

I chose shades of peridot and olivine green. You’ll notice both artisan-crafted lampwork glass beads and Swarovski crystals, which are embellished with lacey bead caps. All of the metal components are sterling silver – including the artisan-crafted sterling silver earwires. Total length: 1-5/8” inches.

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 another day this week and comment on a different post – you will have earned another chance in this week’s giveaway! There are usually 4-5 posts per week – Monday through Friday – so you can have multiple chances to enter!

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! 😀

Today’s question is:

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

The Boring Stuff . . .

This pretty handcrafted necklace features a colorful lampwork glass pendant.

The pendant is suspended from a necklace of lavender metallic seed beads and sparkling Swarovski crystals in both lavender and amethyst.

The Necklace measures 17″ in length, and has a sterling silver clasp.

The Lampwork “Teardrop” Pendant measures 1-3/8″ from top to bottom.

Contest Rules and How To Enter

1. Leave a comment that mentions your pet peeve. For example mine is: I’m leaving a store and because I see someone else behind me, I pause in the doorway and hold the door open. I assume that this person will then reach out to put his or her hand on the door so I can let go and be on my way. But instead (and it seems to be happening a lot lately!) people just breeze by me without a word – as if I were their own personal door-holder! That bugs me!
Describe what bugs you 😉 and that will give you one chance to win.

2. For a second chance to win, leave a second comment that answers the question: When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper; put it in an envelope; put a stamp on it and mailed it?

3. For a third chance to win, leave a comment describing the last time you dressed fancy . . . What did you wear and what was the occasion?

**You can choose any one or all of the above chances to enter.**

A valid email address must be given at time of entry. You must be 18 yrs. old. The name of the winner will be added to this post after the completion of the contest and the winner will be notified by email. The prize will be sent by USPS First Class Mail. If no valid email address is given at time of entry, or if 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.

All entries must be received by 10:00 p.m. EST on 01/18/09, and the winner will be selected on or about 01/19/09.

Thanks for participating and Good Luck to all!

The contest is closed.

The winner is Amandasue. Congratulations Amandasue! Please check your email. I will be contacting you for your shipping address.
