Hi everyone!
Welcome to week twelve of the Monday Giveaways.
This week I’d like to introduce a new element to the weekly contest questions!
We’ll have 2 regular questions – as usual – but for the third chance to win, I’m requesting one of your favorite recipes! Although I did ask for a recipe once before, in the early days of the blog, today I have a new idea for something fun to do with them! If you look to the right of this page, you’ll see a little “recipe box”. I would love to fill it with your favorites, so that everyone can view and enjoy them!
Don’t worry! I won’t be looking for new recipes each week. But, every now and then, one of the weekly giveaway questions might be a recipe request. I think it will be fun for all of us to have this new source for meal suggestions – especially for those days when we’re just “fresh out of ideas”!! 🙂
This week’s giveaway is a beautiful pair of lampwork earrings!
They feature gorgeous artisan-crafted lampwork beads with swirls of sapphire blue, aqua green, and twinkling strands of gold aventurine – which are hard to see in the photo but are so pretty and add a very delicate sparkle!
The lampwork beads are accented with Swarovski crystals in sapphire blue. All of the metal embellishments are gold vermeil or 14 kt. gold-filled.
For pierced ears, the earrings measure 1-3/8 inches in length including the 14 kt. Gold-filled earwires.
Contest Rules and How To Enter:
1. Leave a comment that answers the question: Do you carry anything with you for good luck? That will give you one chance to win.
2. For a second chance to win, leave a second comment that answers the question: What job would you have if you could have any one you wanted?
3. For a third chance to win, leave a comment with a recipe you like to make. For example: It can be something quick and easy (We all love those!). Or it can be more time-consuming if you think it’s really worth the extra time. Or maybe you have a favorite “family recipe” to share!

This delicate pendant features sparkling Swarovski crystals in luscious shades of lilac purple – with a gorgeous ‘butterfly’ shaped crystal as the focal point.
Perfect to remind you that Spring will be here, eventually!
It will, right? . . . RIGHT??? 😉
