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.

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!

9 Kal August 31, 2009 at 4:41 pm: 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!
