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.

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!

I’ve long wanted the teeny tiny initials necklace! Love it!
I would either get the itty bitty hearts necklace with my two girls initials or the sweet and simple birdie necklace. Fun stuff!
I would probably get the single tab necklace. I love her stuff.
.-= KeithAnn´s last blog ..Chris Maul Photography =-.
Love the Family Tree necklace – what a special idea to wear the names of your children (and husband) around your neck!
.-= Ellen´s last blog ..Little Delights =-.
I would get the “Be still” necklace.
.-= Kelly´s last blog ..COACH, why do you hate me? =-.
I love these items! I already emailed my husband with the link to the Be Still Necklace and gave him a BIG hint that he ought to be ordering it soon. Thanks for sharing this.
iwould love to get the itty bitty hearts necklace. i recently just had my first child and i have been wanting this necklace before she was born.

What a generous and talented lady you are Lisa. If I were to be selected, I would have a tough time choosing but I would apply it toward the jumble of charms and pay the difference and smile every time I wear it and hear it jangle reminding me of the hand and hearts full of love each of the 4 kids and my husband are to me!
Love the be still necklace!
Do I really have to decide now?? I love all of her necklaces–so many to choose from and make personal!!
.-= Lindley´s last blog ..Go Diego Go! =-.
Love the dewdrop necklace!
I would get the Sweet & Simple Birdie Necklace as a gift for my Mom. She was my Grandmother’s caretaker for the last three months of her life (She passed away on August 18th). My Grandmother loved birds dearly and the neckalce would be such a “sweet and simple” way for my Mom to remember her Mom.
Ohhhh I sooo love the cuff bracelet!!! But to be honest everything just looks fabulous
Thanks for having this contest and introducing us to Lisa! She is definitely bookmarked 
The teeny tiny initials necklace is so sweet and just my style.
.-= Alison´s last blog ..Friday Fill-Ins #139 =-.
I’d buy a necklace for my m-i-law with all her grand-kids initials on it!
I love the Laundry Line necklace. I have been considering it for a while now.
.-= Cammy´s last blog ..Last Weekend =-.
without question, i’d use it toward the sweetheart tree necklace. oy.
.-= Ouiser´s last blog ..thirtysomething. =-.
I love the itty bitty hearts necklace – so sweet!

I love the itty bitty hearts necklace – so sweet!
I love them all, but I think I like the sweet and simple birdie necklace the best.
I love the inspired hearts necklace – she is SUCH a talented artist!
I love so many of them…but since my son is now 6 months old and growing like a weed (actually faster), I think the “little feet” necklace is appropriate!
sonya.shell@gmail.com
Family Tree or single tag necklace
.-= Cat´s last blog ..Birth Story- Part 1 =-.
I’d get the fly free necklace. It sort of symbolizes some freedom in my own life….
Love, love, love the wish necklace! And the baby spoon, and the open circle necklace, and the be still necklace, it is just all so wonderful!
I love be still necklace. All her jewlery is beautiful though.
I think I’d get the “Fly Free” necklace, it beautifully sums up the heart of my ministry ^_^

I would love the wishing star necklace or the kisses and hugs! All of them are beautiful!
How do I choose….they are all so lovely! I think the fly free necklace is my favorite though.
i would get each of my girls the baby spoons with their names. Such sweetness!
I probably choose the fly free – love it! There are several others that would make a close race though, very cute ideas.
Oh she has so many beautiful things. As I just had my third (and final) child, I think one of the necklaces that can be customized with names and initials (like the teeny tiny initials necklace) would be perfect! In fact, if I don’t win I may buy one anyway (which I’m sure is the point!). Thanks for letting us know about Lisa.
Can’t wait to read your book!
I love the single tag necklace… so sweet! Thanks a bunch!
Oh, how I’d love to win! I’m seriously coveting the fly free necklace… (I suppose that means that the inevitable not-winning will be character building!)

Wow! So much to choose from! I can’t pick just one…

I would love to get the tiny squares necklace, but would have to wait until we chose a name for baby #2… coming soon.
.-= Alissa´s last blog ..Thoughts on My Day =-.

sweet & simple birdie really is sweet!
I love the laundry line necklace with a family member’s name on each one.

It is certainly the family tree necklace. I spent two years researching our family’s ancestry, and my completed family tree is one of my most prized possessions. More than ever, I believe that who I am is a tremendous result of where (and whom) I came from. Thanks for the giveaway!
