Giveaway Weekend!

Hello there! I’m back with another great giveaway this weekend, and it’s one of my favorites. My friend Beki of The Rusted Chain is not only funny, pretty and sahweeeet…but she’s also super talented.

I like her a lot. (Said like Lloyd Christmas.)  :)

She’s made a name for herself with her stamped jewelry, but has a beautiful selection of other pieces as well. I picked out a few of my favorites from her shop, all in a Valentine’s Day theme. Perfect for this weekend!

You know Honeysuckle is the Pantone color of the year, right? It’s a beautiful pink and I am smitten with it. I fell in LOVE with the touches of it in this necklace:

Isn’t that beautiful? A touch of unexpected fun mixed in with pretty and traditional. :)

And there are earrings to match:

Just lovely. Perfect for spring! (Sigh…spring…)

If you’re looking for a Valentine’s gift for just about…well…any female on the face of the earth, I’m betting she’d love any of the following:

Please feel free to forward this post to your significant other with the subject line “Any will do.” I think they appreciate the hints.  :)

Not only is this one perfect for V-Day, but it’s also a great gift idea for the newly engaged or married woman in your life:

Just precious! So sweet.

This one is my favorite with a “love” theme:

The sweet little heart and hugs and kisses put it over the top. LOVE.

And I have to mention my favorite of all of Beki’s pieces, because it’s the one I own:

I absolutely love it. It’s pretty and delicate and says it all in one word. It’s one of my favorite necklaces and I wear it constantly.

So those are some of my favorites – I know you’ll find plenty of your own. :)

Here’s the best part -- Beki has graciously offered a $25 gift certificate for TWO winners! Since most of her jewelry is under $30, you'll be sure to find something you’ll love.

Here’s the drill – leave a comment here for your first entry. For your second entry, go to Beki’s site here and pick out one of your favorite pieces. Come back here to leave a second comment letting us know what that is. That’s it!

**You can also take advantage of a 15 percent discount on any purchase through the end of the month by entering the code “TDC15.”

The giveaway will be open until Monday, Valentine’s Day at noon Eastern time.

Have a GREAT weekend! :)

Giveaway Weekend

Well hello! I am back from a FANTASTIC few days hanging with some amazing bloggy friends. I’ll tell you more about it soon, but I have a fabulous giveaway for you all first!

Amy from Amy Peters Studio makes some of the most adorable stamped jewelry around – I love her variety and the sweet messages on her pieces. And she’s been doing this since she was EIGHT years old – she’s a pro now, to say the least. ;)

Of course, I picked out a few of my faves to show you. And of course, I had 20 pictures saved and had to get a grip on  myself to whittle that down just a tad.

I know I should save the very best for last, but I couldn’t resist putting these first – TOO cute! Check out the itty bitty cutie patootie fortune cookie necklaces:

   

UGH. Are you dying? I. am. dying. There’s actually two sizes – the one on the left is a bit bigger. The one on the right is the teensy one. ADORABLE. :)

Like I mentioned, I love the messages on Amy’s pieces. This one has the “take the road less traveled” message:

Wouldn’t that be a great one for a teen in high school or going off to college? A reminder that they don’t always have to follow the crowd is definitely a good thing. ;)

I love that you can purchase the chain and charm, or just the charm for that one. I have plenty of necklaces, so being able to just buy the charm is brilliant!

This one is just plain sweet:

Too cute! If Stink Eye sis is nice, maybe I’ll get it for her. :) This piece is available as a necklace or a bracelet.

I’m also in love with Amy’s dainty, stackable rings. How adorable would this one be, stacked three or four high?:

I love, love, LOVE that little flower!

And the message on this one says “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey”:

Perfect for any woman in your life who is starting on a new phase – job, school, family, whatever.

And I couldn’t resist showing you this ring stand as well:

Ack! Stinkin’ cute!

Aren’t they so sweet? I just love them all. She has an amazing selection!

Here’s the best part -- one of you lovelies will get to spend $75 as you wish at Amy Peters Studio:

WHOO!! I love giving away stuff. This is so fun. :)

Here’s the drill – leave a comment here for your first entry. For your second entry, go to Amy’s site here and pick out one of your favorite pieces. Come back here to leave a second comment letting us know what that is. That’s it!

The giveaway will be open until Tuesday the 1st at noon Eastern time.

Have a GREAT weekend! I’m off to squish my son a few more times – missed him SO MUCH!!! :)

Giveaway Weekend!

Hello all! I’m back with a great giveaway to kick off 2011!

This one is especially near and dear to my heart – because I. LOVE. IT. and because it’s January – and you know what that means! Cleaning and decluttering like mad. :)

I swear I feel more of an urge to clean now than spring or any other time of the year. I haven’t done much cleaning yet this year though – I’m still decluttering. THEN I’ll clean. Swear, cross my heart. Probably.

I don’t share products with you unless I personally like them or have tried them – and from the very first time I tried Shaklee cleaning products, I was Hooked. (With a capital “H,” for emphasis.)

My friend Bonnie at Donahue Wellness got me hooked on these products about a year ago. I was leery of “green” products, but this stuff impressed me so much, I’m now a Shaklee user for life.

I’ve shown you some of my favorite products and how great they work – first, our nasty oven:

I tried for YEARS (not kidding) to get that baked in yuck off.

A few scrubs with this smells-like-so-good-you’ll-wanna-eat-it Scour Off:

And it looked thisclose to brand new again!:

(Sorry for the craptastic night pic.)

One of my very, very favorite products is the dishwash detergent:

A little tiny bit of Shaklee packs a punch:

That’s all you need! And it works.

We are hooked on the laundry detergent too --

It’s insane how little you need! We got a small box of the detergent back in early October, and we just ran out of it last week. I mean, I hate laundry with a burning, searing passion and do it as little as possible, but hubby does it regularly. :) And it still lasted that long!

My all time favorite product is the Shaklee Basic H2 Organic Concentrate cleaner. It rocks my world.

First of all, you can use it on just about anything. Seriously. I use it on stainless steel, counters, floors, sinks, windows, mirrors…anything.

And one bottle of the concentrate will last you forever and ever and EV.ER. Check out how much you need to clean:

Teaspoons and “drops” people. In a 16 ounce spray bottle. That’s fantastic!!

One bottle of the concentrate is only $12. It’s been a year since I got my bottle of the H2 concentrate and it’s not even half way gone. You would think I don’t clean my house. I do. Sometimes.

Nah…I DO! I keep a bottle upstairs and down, and use it constantly. And I mix my bottles for degreasing – the one that takes the most concentrate:

All one and a half teaspoons. I won’t need another bottle of the H2 concentrate for another year, at least.

And I love their spray bottles – they’re cute and they work:

And hearts flutter out of them:

No, that’s just me. :)

Bonnie has a GREAT blog were she shares some great cleaning tips (and how she uses the Shaklee products). You can see a recap of ALL of her 2010 cleaning posts here. Warning:  You will want to go clean out your fridge, sink or stove immediately! ;)

Now let’s get to the really good part -- Bonnie has graciously offered TEN samples of Basic H2 to ten of you! (Each little vial holds enough Basic H² to make two bottles of powerful cleaner when mixed with 16 ounces of water.)

Here’s the drill – leave a comment here for your first entry. For your second entry, go to Bonnie’s Shaklee page and pick out a cleaning item you would love to try out. Come back here and leave a second comment with your favorite.

**Many of us are thinking about our weight in January too – check out the January special here!

The giveaway will be open until Monday the 17th at noon Eastern time. Have a GREAT weekend!
