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:

*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 adore the simple necklaces with the initials of names on them. So simple, yet so elegant. The pearls, to me, would symbolize my little ones in heaven. It’s already on my wishlist!

I would get the fly free necklace and send it to my daughter Christina who is 19, my only child, and starting her 2nd year of college…she lives 800 miles away and I miss her so, so much! This necklace symbolizes what I am going through with her. My arms are the cage trying to keep her close to me. Christina is the bird trying to grow and fly on her own. The birdcage and the free bird next to each other symbolize her freedom and the safety of my loving arms ready to be a soft place for her to land. It would be a reminder to her always that I am here for her no matter what is happening in her life. This last year has been the hardest for me ever! Thank you for the chance to win a gc to LL’s store. Her jewelry is wonderful!

I love the be still necklace! The mama necklace is also precious and since I just became a mama for the 3rd time it would be perfect.

I would get the double heart bracelet, it’s gorgeous. I LOVE IT!
Do I have to choose only one??? The family tree necklace and be still necklaces are so sweet. It would be a hard decision, but i think family tree would win. Just adorable. Thanks for introducing us to this wonderful artist!!

I’d get the original necklace – love it!
I’d love the family tree necklace best, but it’s a hard choice.
I absolutely adore the “Fly Free” necklace. It is so beautiful and appropriate as my husaband and I have turned a corner in our marriage. In the past year, he has entered a drug and alcohol addiction treatment center and has been sober for over a year and has dedicated the next ten months to helping others battle addiction. I am so proud of him and of myself, as I have learned and grown so much as well. We are truly learning to put God first and fly free of addictions, guilt, and shame in our lives and marriage.
I would get the “be still” necklace or the “itty bitty hearts.” Or maybe I’d be so excited to win, I’d get both of them.
I would get the tiny feet necklace for my dear friend who is FINALLY expecting a long awaited first-child.
I’d choose the tiny squares necklace. Thanks for the great giveaway!
