A Holiday Giveaway: Lisa Leonard!

by Tsh on November 19, 2009

This giveaway is now closed.

I‘ve got a special treat for you today. In light of the holiday season, we’ve got a giveaway from my favorite jewelry maker, Lisa Leonard!

I’m a longtime fan of Lisa’s, and I’ve written about her several times before. Any time I wear any of her necklaces, I get comments. I love that her work is both feminine and natural, without being overly girly.

And I love some of her new pieces, like this paper lantern necklace. I think this is so unique! That’s the best thing about Lisa Leonard jewelry — every piece is a one-of-a-kind, since she hammers each piece of silver by hand. Most of the selections are customizable as well.

So this week, three Simple Mom readers will win a $50 gift certificate to Lisa Leonard Designs! Just in time for the holidays.

Here’s how to enter:

1. Check out her store, then come back here and leave a comment. Tell me — what would you order if you won the gift certificate, and who would it be for?

2. To get a second entry, tweet about this giveaway — use the “retweet” button at the bottom of the post.

3. To get a third entry, post about this giveaway on your own blog, and make sure you link to this exact post (not the home page, SimpleMom.net), so that it will leave a trackback.

This giveaway is open to U.S. and Canadian addresses. It will end this Saturday, November 21 at 11:59 p.m. EST. I hope you win!

My hubby recently gave me the “Bundle of Charms” necklace for our anniversary…and it is one of my most cherished possessions. Each charm is stamped with special dates in our lives…and then with our son’s name. I love it!!

Stacey Gibson: I would order the Cherish necklace for my mom. She’s recovering from surgery and I am so thankful for her life and all she does for our family. She’s not been able to pick up her grandbaby yet because of her recovery, so I know she’s holding on to the thought being able to do that in the future and cherishing him in the meantime.
Lisa: I would get the Lots of Love Necklace for me, since I don’t get to buy for me very often.

Janet: Love the fly free necklace. I would give it to my teenage daughter who is often trapped in anxiety and perfectionism. Praying that she will embrace flying free in Christ!
Nicola: I would get the square itty bitty necklace with my kids names on them. It would be for me. I’d love to have it under the tree with my name on it!
Michelle: Beautiful jewelry! If I won the gift certificate, I’d have a custom piece made. Something with a cross and reminder that Jesus gives me strength. Selfishly, it would be for me. I am praying for strength these days. Thank you!
holly: oh i love them all! but my favorite is the wishing necklace. i would definitely keep it for myself, selfish, i know, but i have hinted and hinted to various family members about a mommy necklace and have never received one!
cassy: I actually came across Lisa’s website about a week ago and fell in love with her work! My favorite is the mama necklace. Sums up what a mama is perfectly. If I won this is what I would get-for myself!
jenn: If I won, I would get the sweet & simple birdie necklace & give it to my mom
Amy Barnes: Sweet & simple birdie necklace for my daughter, Ava, because she is my sweet little bird.
Love this contest & all of Lisa’s work. Amazing.

Jill: I LOVE Lisa’s jewelry and it’s hard to choose just one! I would choose the friendship necklace and give it to my great friend, Krista, who is moving to Argentina to do mission work. We are sure going to miss their family!
Keilah: I love the laundry line necklace. After reading your post about praying over each family member when hanging out the laundry, I do. I would send it to my sister in NZ because she hangs her laundry out too. I also just saw that Lisa Leonard is based in San Luis Obispo, where I live…small world. Thanks for the giveaway.

Sally: I loved the “be still” necklace. My small group leader for our Bible study is an amazing woman who is showing us what it looks like to learn how to be still & listen to Him. I would love to share this with her.

Well… I also loved the “fly free” necklace for my daughter. She is a tween who is learning how to fly free with love & grace.

Thanks for an amazing opportunity!
Maggie: I also love Lisa’s jewelry; thanks so much for introducing us (me) to it! I would want to get the paper lanterns necklace for my daughter…the lanterns remind me of Chinese lanterns, and we adopted our 6-year-old daughter from China. She indeed is “the light of our lives”–so the lantern charms seem quite appropriate! Thank you for this opportunity…
nicole: I would order the leather cuff that says courage for my sister. We lost our mom 3 years ago and being big sis I pray for courage for her. We are also both dealing with a challenge in our way that will require significant courage!! I love it so much I would get myself a matching one. Thanks so much for the chance to win and share!
Darcy: Gosh.. so hard to chose – but I really like the “be still” necklace! It would be a great reminder to me… ok.. i’m off… can’t sit still, gotta go..
.-= Darcy´s last blog ..Are you ready for Christmas yet? =-.
Nicole: This jewelry is beautiful in such a simple way. I would get the single tag keychain with the word miracle on it if possible. On Good Friday this year my 16 month old son fell down the stairs with a bead from his sisters necklace in his mouth. We came much too close to losing him that evening. The Dr. gave me the bead to keep. I would love to find a way to attach the bead to the keychain and keep the keychain as a reminder of his preciousness and God’s blessings in my life. I would then pass it on to him someday when he becomes a father.
Agnes: I would get the “Be Still” necklace and give it to my daughter. She has had a rough autumn with teaching and trying to keep the family healthy.
Cortney: I was having a hard time deciding what I could get if I were to win because so many of the pieces are just stunning. And then I saw the “be still” necklace. Perfect! I am working on simplifying my life and enjoying the simple, still moments. Goodness- I’m working on FINDING the simple, still moments. I’m also trying to be still and know God. What a beautiful reminder this necklace would be!
I also blogged about this (and did the share it thing, but I it doesn’t show on your trackbacks)…. http://twolittlemonkeysjumpingonmyhead.blogspot.com/2009/11/holiday-giveaway-on-simple-mom.html
Lisa: I would get the laundry charms for my cousin.
Her baby Jett has a very bad case of Cystic Fybrosis and is only 6 months old… he is in the hospital a ton and having lots of surgeries… they also have a 4 year old son…

So the necklace would be a reminder that when she is away from one to be with the other that they are always near her heart…

Just a small token to light up this portion of her life!
.-= Lisa´s last blog ..Can’t Wait… =-.
Julie Dawley: I just visited the Lisa Lenoard site and OMG her stuff is georgous and totally my style. If I won I would give the Friendship Necklace to one of my closest friends who right now is going through the most horrible situation. Her marriage of 15 years is ending and she is sick and could possibly have a life threatening health problem …..horrible situation especially since she has three children. And to be honest I myself would love the Laundry Line to put all my loved ones names on including my friend!!
Les: WOW! How does one choose! Darn near impossible for me…but if I HAVE to either the friendsip necklace…for of course my best friend,or, for me, the Be Still necklace…….oh it’s too hard to only pick one! les
Tabitha Blue / Fresh Mommy: Oh what a great giveaway!!!! With a new baby on the way and due soon, I would love to get a laundry line or a family tree necklace!! I JUST LOVE HER DESIGNS!
tony: my name is tony tate, and, would definitely use it toward purchasing the new family crest necklace.
Tori: Love the ornaments! They are gorgeous!
.-= Tori´s last blog ..Holidays are coming! =-.
Nicole: Oooh, LOVE this! I’d love to have the Open Circle Necklace. Can’t decide if I’d have one made for my sister-in-law, or keep it for myself!!
Lisa: I’d order the “be still” necklace for myself. I’m a new mom and I can get frazzled easily. This would be a great daily reminder for me. Thanks for the giveaway. L.
CarrieK: Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!! If I won, I’d get the large link bracelet with the first letter of each grandchild’s name for my mother. Sure to bring a tear to her eye! And a smile too, of course Love Lisa Leonard!!
Meghan: This is so great! I’ve been trolling around Etsy for a while now looking for a necklace that I can get my kids names on to wear everyday. Its been hard to find a style a like as I’m not a big fan of overtly gaudy jewelry. This is perfect! If I win the gift certificate I would get the the itty bitty hearts necklace and put the initial of my three kids names on it. I will order it and then have my husband give it to me as my Christmas gift from the kids! Thanks for the giveaway!
