Giveaway Time: Score Handcrafted Jewelry from Lisa Leonard!

Lisa Leonard silver hand-stamped jewelry

This giveaway has now ended.

I‘m almost done with the first half of my book, due to my editor tomorrow. So today, while I’m busy putting the finishing touches on my manuscript, I thought I’d surprise the best readers in the blogosphere with a little giveaway.

I’m not much of a jewelry person, but the one necklace I grab near daily is my sweet and simple birdie necklace by Lisa Leonard. It goes with just about everything, and it’s a beautiful balance of feminine and rustic. It’s girly without the saccharine sweetness. Just my style.

Last week, my in-laws surprised me with a little shopping gift from Lisa’s store for my birthday, and it made my day. It took me forever to decide what to get — I could have one of each of her pieces, and that’s saying a lot, seeing I’m all about the uncluttered living.

This week, Lisa wants to give three Simple Mom readers a $50 gift certificate to her store! What a great way to welcome the upcoming fall season. Her pieces will go with almost anything you wear, from daily jeans-and-a-t-shirt at home, to a kicked-up outfit for your weekly date with your hubby. And I am all about versatility.

I also love Lisa’s business because she’s got a great work ethic. It’s run completely debt-free, and as a busy mom to two boys, she works hard to provide quality material that’s worth every penny she earns. I met her earlier this year, and I was so impressed with her sweet, professional demeanor. I hope she goes far with her work.

How to win

This giveaway is open to anyone in the U.S. or Canada. Here’s how to win one of the three $50 gift certificates from Lisa Leonard Designs:

1. Explore Lisa’s shop, and then leave a comment on this post, telling me what you’d get with the gift certificate if you win.

2. For a second entry, tweet or post about this giveaway on your blog (use the “retweet” button at the bottom of this post, and make sure you link to this post directly, so that your post will be tracked).

3. For a third entry, email simplemomblog [at] gmail [dot] com with the secret giveaway code that’s found at the bottom of the RSS feed on any Simple Mom post. You’ll have to be a blog subscriber (via a feed reader or via email) in order to see it.

Put the code in the subject line of your email — anything in the body of the email won’t be read.* And I promise you – the code is there. Head here if you’d like more information about what it means to subscribe.

*SERIOUSLY — I won’t be able to read it and enter your additional drawing if you put the secret code in the body of the email. Quite a few of you are doing this. I’m not trying to be difficult, but with my method of handling giveaways without going insane, I’ve set up filters that automatically enters the correct entries into the giveaway pool. Just a friendly reminder!

The giveaway will end this Friday, September 4 at 11:59 p.m. PST.

I hope you win!

73 Megan August 31, 2009 at 9:41 am: With the $50 gift certificate, I’d purchase the “be still necklace” for my mom. It’s name references one of her favorite verses in the Bible (Psalm 46:10), and she is also an avid bird watcher and nature walker/kayaker. The necklace design has images that reference those pastimes that she enjoys. It’s also so simple and sophisticated. It would make the perfect “just because” gift for her.
74 Lisa Menou August 31, 2009 at 9:47 am: I LOVE all of her designs but if I were to pick one for myself, I would definitely get the jumble of charms necklace! It’s just my style and I can get a little bit of everything.

thanks for doing the giveaway and I hope I win!

79 Lisa August 31, 2009 at 9:50 am: I have been coveting Lisa’s jewelery for a few months (since I clicked on your website link). I added it to my favorites hoping my hubby would happen upon it one day (still waiting for that one…). Anyway, if I had to choose just one piece it would be a tie between the open heart bracelet (which I may just NEVER take off) or the two tone captured heart necklace. OK – I lied it’s not a tie I am IN LOVE with the open heart bracelet.

80 Amy August 31, 2009 at 9:50 am: My best friend and her family is moving away. I would use the gift certificate to buy her the jumble of charms necklace, but turn it into a bracelet, since she loves charms. Or I would buy the wish necklace for her, to match mine.
81 Laura August 31, 2009 at 9:53 am: Beautiful jewelry! I think I’d choose sweet & simple birdie necklace or maybe the family tree one.
82 Amy @ Finer Things August 31, 2009 at 9:55 am: I love the Forever necklace. I’d like to customize it with our anniversary.
83 Kirsten August 31, 2009 at 9:56 am: I LOVE the Family tree necklace. *fingers crossed!*
84 Mama Snyder August 31, 2009 at 9:57 am: OMG – love the site! If i got to have a “Mommy, Mommy, buy me this!” moment, I would have to have the teenie tiny initials necklace. It’s just precious, and would hold initials for all 4 of my little ones!

85 Ryane August 31, 2009 at 9:57 am: I love everything!!! I think I would get the bracelet with the names in your post or the dew drop necklace or the family tree necklace.

Love them!
86 Jenny Z August 31, 2009 at 9:58 am: Wow, I hadn’t seen her stuff before, these are beautiful… bookmarking!!

If I had a gift certificate, I’d get the Large Link Charm Bracelet: http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/bracelets/large-link-charm-bracelet.html
