My husband recently reminded me that he likes it when I look like a girl. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I wear combat boots – but I do have the “mom style” going most days. You know the look – the jeans, t-shirt, and flip flops. All day, every day.
Since his reminder, I’ve made a point to wear more skirts, which in all honesty, I prefer anyway. I think they’re cooler than shorts, and much more flattering when they hit the knee at the right spot. And I’m pretty sure my husband likes them.
I’ve also made more of a point to wear a bit more jewelry, style my hair, and put on a smidge of make-up – even when my day’s agenda only involves being at home. And you know what? It really does help a little. I feel more put together, so I have more energy, and I’m in a better mood.
You already know I love me some Lisa Leonard jewelry. I wear my “tiny squares” necklace almost daily – they’re adorned with my two children’s names, And I get compliments on them every time.
I love her jewelry’s handcrafted look, that she hammers the design just-so, giving each piece its originality.
I love that it’s feminine without being cutesy.
I love that so much of her work honors family.
And I love that one of you will win her latest necklace!
Lisa is giving away one “sweet and simple bird necklace.” I absolutely love it. It could go with anything – from t-shirts to dresses. Perfect for a busy mom. Also good for an upcoming Christmas gift!

My big ticket item right now is a food processor … but the new contender fighting for the top spot is a Wii.
Joanna’s last blog post…Finally
I’m hoping for a new chef’s knife!
I would love love love an electric knife sharpner, but will happily take one of the handheld ones too.
Nicole B’s last blog post…A Sun Shower
Oh, I would love to get good black high boots! And a 3/4 charcoal coat would be lovely too. I guess I am in need of basics, ~smile~.
A really good knife sharpener sounds good – like the gals above, but right now I’d really like tickets to the ASO POPS series – it’s going to be a good one this year and it’s guaranteed date nights with my hubby.
AmyDe’s last blog post…That’s Not All….
Right now, the top contender on my christmas list is a sewing machine. But right under that is a Wii.
My one item on my list is a Wii, with the Wii Fit. You have no idea. I would LICK Santa for that one.
Lisa’s last blog post…The BEST $5.30 I have ever spent.
I haven’t given much thought to Christmas yet, but definitely a Wii with a Wii fit thrown in would be my dream gift this year.

I, like the hope elizabeth chain.
My ultimate Christmas wish list would have a Nikon Camera body to go with the mac Daddy nikon lens we’ve had for years. I just play with the lens now imagining all the good work I’ll do with the actual camera.
Joanna’s last blog post…The Nest
I need a new camera and would love a picture printer to go with it!
I’d love a new camera!
Peace, and time with my family
Diana’s last blog post…Happy Birthday, Sis!
for real…this cute bird neckless is on my Christmas wish list!
Michelle B’s last blog post…Around the House
I’m trying to get my family (mostly the extended bits of it) to get that it shouldn’t just be about the gifts (the bigger, the better seems to be the norm).
But I do have material wants so what I’d really like for Christmas is a pair of El Naturalista shoes. I love the style and the ethics of the company.
rebekka’s last blog post…Things’re gonna change ’round here
Haven’t thought about Christmas presents for me…if I could have anything (since it is a wish list)…I’d say a new computer – preferably a laptop.
Edi’s last blog post…"Snowflake" Pancakes
oh, these are beautiful. one thing on my christmas list is a pair of black ankle boots–hot mama!
One thing on my wish list: money for new clothes! My baby is due right before Christmas & I know I’m going to want to spruce up my wardrobe.
You would think EVERYONE has one of these, but I would love an iPod. . . and a vaccum.
Becky Kicklighter’s last blog post…Snake Inspector
We’re Jewish, so no Christmas list for me! And we don’t do gifts for Hanukkah either, so….how about my birthday wish list?! Fabric! Made by independent and innovative designers. The kind of fabric that is too beautiful to even cut into for a project, and instead I’ll just keep refolding it and arranging it in pretty piles.
This may sound strange, but I’m longing for a cheesemaking kit! :0)
Charity’s last blog post…Falling…
Just found your blog a couple days ago and have been enjoying reading through your older posts. Thanks for sponsoring this giveaway! I love Lisa’s designs but haven’t purchased anything from her before. Let’s see…what’s on my Christmas wish list? I really want a good quality pressure cooker or a grain mill.
sUsAn’s last blog post…beautiful…
i have a TON of books on my Amazon wish list… also, i’d love an iPod! those earbuds and my favorite tunes are the perfect escape from the hectic hubub of daily life.
liz’s last blog post…knitting for friends
I just started reading your blog a few days ago and have fallen in love! Thanks for all that you share!
My husband and I have just recently had the same conversation in which he revealed that he loves it when I dress “like a girl”. He really enjoys me in a skirt and some pretty jewelry. Since I teach elementary school right now, I often wear pants and go minimalistic on jewelry. But now that I know it is so important to him I’m going to start trying more. This giveaway is so well timed!
I have asked my mom to make me several new skirts for me to wear (as right now I have mostly denim skirts). Since she will be designing and making them I will be sure they match tops that I already own and that they fit in a way that will be easy to wear in the classroom!
Vanessa’s last blog post…Here by the Water
pampered chef cookware
Alison Bynum’s last blog post…Meetup – Discovery Center at Murfree Spring
I”d love a new serger so I don’t have to keep boring my sweet friend Jeanette’s. Thanks much!
Leigh Anne Wilkes’s last blog post…Menu Planning or “Help! What’s for Dinner?!” Part Two
A FLIP is at the top of my list
Lisa’s new necklace is gorgeous!! I, too, wear my tiny squares necklace every day.
Laura W’s last blog post…I got the best
I would love to start gathering Fiestaware to switch out my dishes…
Leigh’s last blog post…Where did it all go?
This may sound strange, but I’d love a new kitchen sink with a hose on it to spray water into pots.
Liz’s last blog post…Sunday
My perfect Christmas gift would be for husband to say he was ready for a third baby!
My Christmas list is a moving target…but right now, tops is fabric. Vintage, preferably, for making more skirts for me. My hubby also likes it when I “go girly”
I am a t-shirt – jeans – flipflop wearin mom too. It’s really hard to get out of that when I know I’m just going to get spit up on or spilled on. But good encouragement and I am going to try a little harder today.
Christmas…..a camera or a sewing machine. Probably the camera b/c we don’t have one and we do have 5 kids. So camera it is.
Stephanie’s last blog post…Starting the day
I would love to lose 10 lbs!
Tami’s last blog post…CNN Twitter Update
Christmas wish: hardwood floors!
Kristy’s last blog post…356 days
I’d like a serger…used would be fine. I also wouldn’t mind that sweet little bird necklace.
We are furnishing our home this year piece by piece, so for Christmas, I would love a comfy over-stuffed chair for my bedroom (with a small table for my cup of tea)! And a basket for books. And a warm throw blanket. Ooh – and an ottoman if it’s in the budget! So, really, I’m not wishing for anything too specific!
Stephanie’s last blog post…Spa Saturday
Wow! I checked out this website and those necklaces are stunning!
This year, rather than DH and I buying each other gifts, we decided we’ll be buying a GPS system for both of us. And, from the looks of it, Garmin should have some sweet deals on their discontinued models. I can’t wait!
Emily’s last blog post…It’s 3am…and technology’s a dangerous thing.
I’d love some of the Origins Ginger collection – their Body Souffle sounds lovely – and I think the warm scent of ginger would be perfect for winter.
Okay, if we’re going for broke here: I’d love a screened in porch with a ceiling fan… and some long-lasting cool weather to go with it!
allie’s last blog post…Iain Turns Two!
a new stock pot
Ditto Jassamyn… a new stockpot!!
I’m hoping for a new winter coat from j crew – my last one from there is 8 years old and is starting to look a little shabby!
peace on earth (and some new dansko clogs)
No stress. That’s really all I want at Christmas.
Sharon J’s last blog post…I’m A Bitch!
I am hoping for a new bright pink ipod!
I really want a Wii this Christmas. I’m dying for the aches and pains of some video game action at its finest.
Lisa Leonard jewelry.
The one large item on my Christmas list this year is the Wii with Wii Fit.
Some new sock yarn from etsy shop Sunnyside Ellen!
a single-serve coffee maker…it’s great wrapping your hands around a warm mug full of coffee that was easy to make!
Maybe one of Lisa’s necklaces if I don’t win:)
The only thing on my wish list is a little someone–our little boy we are adopting from Russia. We are praying that we will be able to return for him before Christmas. He is our first child and we are so excited about becoming his parents!
heatherlbrandt (at) verizon (dot) net
Heather’s last blog post…Final Yard Sale Results…
My biggest Christmas wish is for a new dining room table and chairs!
I would love to enter this giveaway. I have the typical ‘Mom’ look too and usually don’t make any attempt to look any thing but like a ‘Mom’. For Christmas I would really love a bread maker, it would make things so much easier for me!
A little weird, maybe, but I think I’d like a doppler. I’m studying to be a midwife, and these are pretty pricey, so it would definitely be a fun gift to continue to build my tool kit.
anja’s last blog post…Bike Route Mapping
Definitely money or a gift card for new clothes!!! Ever since the girls were born three years ago, my wardrobe has been severely neglected. I need to spruce myself up and a new wardrobe and that adorable necklace will do just the trick!
Momma Bean’s last blog post…Three Years
My ultimate Christmas wish is for a Kitchen-Aid mixer, but more realistically, I would like a rolling scrapbook organizer, and maybe one of these necklaces!
Gina’s last blog post…Football Widow or Frenzied Fan…the choice is yours
I’d really like an iPhone.
I want a new camera and an external hard drive to store all my pictures!
My wish list right now includes a gift card to the bookstore or a new vaccum cleaner.
Michelle’s last blog post…September 11
One thing that is on my Christmas List is cloth napkins for my dining room table…to keep us from going through so many paper napkins.
Briana’s last blog post…And, some pictures…
I’m wishing for a new camera lens and some cute jammies!
alexandra’s last blog post…Lately…
I am hoping we get a Dyson and a sewing machine this year. I will also hit my 2nd trimester around Dec 1st so I hope I can survive the first 3 months with a healthy baby
I’m expecting in Mid-November, this will be my 3rd child (all under 3 years old). My Christmas wish is that the baby is healthy and that my family pitches in to help so I can get some sleep!! My husband has scheduled 3 weeks off work over the holidays but he has a stressful job and I’m really hoping he doesn’t get called into work.
I’m quite surprised by my lack of materialism this year
As a mom to two little ones, I’d most value a little spending money and the time to go and spend it. Thanks for your inspiring posts.
Andrea’s last blog post…Field Trip || Orchard
There’s nothing tangible I want for Christmas … but I could use some extra sleep and some extra time!
My list is the same each year- books, books, books.
Sandra’s last blog post…TP Pumpkins
I’m hoping for some Christmas caroling songbooks… maybe we can host a caroling party next year!
On my Christmas list–wii fit!
Amy Huff’s last blog post…Cross Country Wears Him Out!!
It’ll be our first Christmas with both of our mothers living in the same town as us. At the same time it will be our first Christmas in our new home. I’m more excited about that second part! So I guess my wish is that everyone settles down and enjoys the day instead of trying to outdo one another and stressing out.
darah7’s last blog post…Fruit Leather
We NEED a new TV, preferably flat screen and big.
healthy baby…she should be here just in time for Christmas…or New Year’s!
I want a new wool winter coat… maybe something bright red or lime green.
Laura’s last blog post…Oh Baby
Wow, just like Joanna, the first commenter…a good sized food processor, or a Wii!
Fox’s Momma’s last blog post…More updates since I can’t sleep.
A sewing machine, something simple for my beginner status. And a safe arrival of family from England.
One thing on my Christmas list is the book “In Stitches”by Amy Butler.
jill’s last blog post…Margit’s Chocolate Zucchini Cake
I want a Wii. Or a gift card to IKEA.
i would love a desk/table to do crafts on…to keep stuff out and not put it away (from the diningroom table) would be a dream!
New books, always books!
I am using wishpot and it is great!
The tops things on my list are: the coffee press from the Simple Mom shop, and the books Apartment Therapy and The Creative Family.
Now I think I might add the little squares necklace with the names of my three boys
Lucie’s last blog post…Update: Adventures in Sleeping
I just want a dustbuster for all the times my daughter drops piles of crumbs on the floor moments after I’ve vacuumed.
Michelle’s last blog post…MiniBox
Books – The Scottish Chiefs and Set-Apart Feminity
Angel Food Cake pan
Clothes
A new digital camera or a lens for my dslr or both!
I’m hoping for a GPS. Tired of getting lost and being late to everything!
A studio lighting system for my photography
I would love a new set of wooden spoons and spatulas for my kitchen.
We would really like a Wii…but on a more practical and less expensive note, we also could use a new toaster (our 1 year old pulled the toaster oven off the counter while I was cleaning, and dented it badly enough that it started to smoke when we next used it!)
Great giveaway!
majellamom’s last blog post…Three-tenths of one percent?!
One thing? Only one?!
I am dreaming of a one night getaway with my husband, the kids all happily ensconced with gramma for the night (is it too much to hope for two?).
Anything else I get will be icing on the cake!
Jennifer Hansen’s last blog post…Reading His First Chapter Book… Alone
This is is just too funny – one of her necklaces is on my Christmas wish list!
Oh, and a food processor.
Oh what fun! My list has a madeleine pan on it; i love those little cookies:)
Sam’s last blog post…New in The Shop – Yarn Keep
Since this is a wish list, I really wish for a Macbook.
Jen@OurDailyBigTop’s last blog post…football ties
I can’t decide between my top 2. I would love to get a tortilla press, so I could make homemade tortillas. But, I would love to receive a red pea coat too!
Cashmere yarn, to knit a pair of fingerless gloves. Or maybe some of that jewellery if I don’t get lucky!
My husband is the same way, he loves it when I dress up (not dress clothes, but not sweats and not HIS clothes
) and especially when I “accessorize” (his words, not mine!).
As for Christmas? Usually I’m the one saying “oh I don’t know, you don’t need to get me anything…” but this year I feel like I have a big list – and they’re not cheap! I think top of my list is a digital camcorder for my family. Beyond that, I’ve got a whole list of photography things I’d love but doubt I’ll get as gifts.
I love this giveaway, those jewelry pieces are awesome!
Mandi’s last blog post…I want him.
I am thinking of a rice cooker
I would love to have a getaway with my husband. We could really use a few days away. He’s in grad school and working full-time and we just don’t get a lot of time together.
Tracie’s last blog post…So much going on
Top of my wish list for Christmas, hmm…. probably some henna. I started buying the stuff to get back into it last spring but for some reason didn’t get the actual henna powder. Of course I’d take a new camera too.
You know, I’ve been so busy helping my kids with their lists that I haven’t thought about mine at all! I think I’d like a new handbag most of all, but bigger silver hoops and some sewing books would be nice, too. I think we’ll be sticking to prezzies for the kids only, though, since we’re doing our best to pay down our debt. Next year, fingers crossed, things will be different!
If I don’t win one in a blog giveaway, I really want the Dell Mini 9 computer – a computer I could actually use in the 30-minute car line at my kids’ school.
Laurin’s last blog post…Well Aren’t I The Lucky One?
One thing I’d love for Christmas is a digital keychain. It would be great to have photos of my girls to share and to enjoy myself
A Wii Fit is at the top of my list!
I love these necklaces, but I always wonder if they would look as pretty with five kids on them.
Deal Seeking Mom’s last blog post…Walmart Deals Week of 9/14/08
Since Christmas is also my birthday, my #1 wish is a big one. I want a Mac Book! IF only my wish could come true…
flip camera
Can’t say I have thought about my own Christmas wish list yet…the practical side of me (which is usually the side in charge) says something in the house that would help complete the home remodel that began 4 years ago and stopped after our first child 2 1/2 years ago; the bedroom add-on, finish the kitchen cabinets, baseboards…but I would also love to receive some cute new underwear (to help with the girly/feminine/feel good about myself thing). I realize that having two kids does not mean I should be wearing ‘mom’ underwear
, but when there is extra money in the clothing budget there are just too many “practical” things to buy.
Pamela’s last blog post…a first
I’m hoping for a camera tripod.
I’d love some quilting supplies as well a few pieces of clothing.
. . .and of course, a Lisa Leonard Necklace!
Vanessa van der Meer’s last blog post…Simple Mom Giveaway
That’s a really cute necklace! One item on my Christmas list is, sadly enough, a gym membership.
Nichole’s last blog post…One thousand
On my wish list? A new iPod. My very old one is getting really, really wonky…
For Christmas, I am easy to please, anything made by my 3 year-old will make me the happiest mommy.
The only thing I need for Christmas is my husband to be home from Iraq. I think I could handle the holidays easier if it wasn’t so close to the end of his deployment. He will be home 2 weeks after Christmas if it all goes as planned….but to have him home for Christmas with me and our 14 month old son would mean the world. We don’t have much money to get big gifts anyway and through this deployment I have learned that the only thing we TRULY need is each other.
Thank you!
i’m hoping for a new lens for my camera… ooo and some tall brown boots.
Becca’s last blog post…turning red…
A new BED!!
I’m hoping for some new board games for me and the family.
My camera is driving me crazy, I’d love a new one.
AND I love this necklace!
One item on my Christmas wish list is new stationery! I love, love it and always run out!
I want a blocking set to use with my knit/crochet items.
Gabriel’s last blog post…Blink
Sounds funny, but I keep hinting to my husband that I need a new, larger cooking pot.
lizzykristine @ Uplifted Eyes’s last blog post…Rice & Beans, Again
If we’re shooting for the moon, I’d really like a buyer for our house. We just put it up for sale because we’ve outgrown it (4 growing boys in a small 3 bedroom house!)
An iPhone!
I’m going to ask for some cute shoes!
I love this post! I would love to get some feminine nightgowns for Christmas!
Betty’s last blog post…My Favorite New Product
I want a digital camara!!!
Christina’s last blog post…A Review & A Giveaway: Pregancy Journal
I am hoping for a sewing machine! (and maybe even a bonus room to make into a sewing/craft room) ha!
Katie’s last blog post…Is it really almost Halloween?
On my Christmas List this year are some games for our new Wii – I may be a dork, but I love video games!
Sending you an e-mail…
Jeni’s last blog post…A Bit of Inspiration
I would love a new laptop for Christmas. It would make blogging so much easier, I could do it anywhere!
On my list for this Christmas is the grater attachement for my kitchen aid mixer! Lasagna and pizza would be much easier with this tool!
BTW I just started reading your blog and I am in love with it! The daily docket has given me a jumpstart back to getting my stuff done around here. I have four kids and the youngest is just 2 months and I needed some encouragement to keep going on this mess!
I had a simple silver necklace on my wish list – I had not seen Lisa’s jewelry before but I love it now!
My Christmas wish list consists of hoping to get a little sleep and that my kids will be satisfied with their presents.
My biggest Christmas wish is actually for a dumpster to be placed outside my front door so I can get rid of all the clutter and stuff around here! And a baby that sleeps through the night. A girl can dream, right?
megan’s last blog post…What I did with my summer vacation
My wish is to have been to China and back to adopt our child. Or at least have a photograph by Christmas and travel shortly after.
Jane’s last blog post…Give me your eyes
For Christmas I would love a Kitchen Aid Mixer!
Summir’s last blog post…House Update with Loads of Pics … aka … My Man is a Stud!!
I would like to have a basic sewing machine for Christmas.
Just yesterday I decided I wanted to add some cute fridge magnets to my Christmas list. Now that my 2 year old is making “crafts” I need something to display them with!
Okay, two things.
1. I want a new president, but it needs to be the one I’m voting for.
2. I want the discipline to implement all the great and achievable steps in the book Spring Cleaning for Normal People. Not that it will take a lot of discipline, but I could use any extra that anyone could send my way.
Caitlin’s last blog post…RNC day one photos
i really want an alice the maid but i’ll settle for a new lens for my camera.
chickadee’s last blog post…Are you tired of hearing about my nameless baby yet?
My wish is for a nice cupcake carrier. It would really come in handy.
Hmmm… that’s a tough question. You know how when you have to actually list something you want it’s so hard to come up with it, but if I were to just wander around a few stores I’d feel overwhelmed with all of the wants? Yeah, that’s me.
I’d have to say I’d love a Nikon D40 and a lense to go with it. I dream of the pictures I could take with it!
Kelli’s last blog post…For Sandra and Hayden
ski lift tickets!
I haven’t even thought about what I want for Christmas. I have thought about what to get my husband and daughter but haven’t thought of what I would like myself. All I can think of that I really want is a day to relax!
I would really like a piece of created gemstone jewelry for Christmas, and I’ve already told my husband so. I just think the science behind created gems is amazing, and the jewelry is pretty spectacular, too.
Susanna K.’s last blog post…Seasonal Dressing
i’m asking for a new iPod b/c mine has mysteriously disappeared. i’m hoping i’ll find it somewhere but fear it was flushed or thrown away by little hands.
An ipod!
I am thinking a Wii with the Wii fit would be an excellent Christmas gift.
I would LOVE a new lens for my camera … a zoom lens for football games would be so treasured!
Naomi in Ohio’s last blog post…Borrowing . . .
On my wishlist is a new lens or a stand mixer. I’m dreaming big this year.
Britney’s last blog post…Yet another one of those creations in a blender
I would love an iPod. But also a nice piece of jewelry.
Boring, but on my wish list is a “water hog” mat from LL Bean for inside my front door. Need something to catch all that snow!
That my baby would not be born at Christmas, but would wait another couple weeks before making his/her debut.
I have my eye on a bread machine or sewing machine!
I would love hardwood floors in my house, but I’d also like a Cannon or Nikon digital slr camera. My husband comments on one weekly and I’d love to see the pictures he takes of the kids with it.
Me! Me! Pick me!
“world peace” – and I am not kidding.
~Mad(elyn) in Alabama
~Mad’s last blog post…A Little Shaky Here
New digital camera
Oops! I was so excited, I forgot to tell you my Christmas wish…duh! I am like others, wishing for a Wii fit. In fact, we have pretty simple Christmases and are contemplating just getting one big family present–that is Wii. It is a one size fits all sort of thing since I have kids ranging from 6-19. The major hold back is that hubby is hesitant cause he hates video games. That, and the expense…yikes!
busyHSmom’s last blog post…Goodbye, Big Blue Monster!
I would really like some new knee high brown boots for winter. It’s cold in Alaska!
I would love to have a massage.
Kristi’s last blog post…Interesting Video from CBS on homeschooling
I am really wanting a new digital camera. The one I have now is several years old and has the slowest shutter speed. All the pics of my active 3 year old come back blurry.
I want a big ‘ole seed starting center for Christmas. So I don’t have seed flats all over my house in odd places like the back of the toliet. :>
Blayne’s last blog post…Menu – Early Fall
Today I posted on the importance of self care and included the giveway!
On my Christmas list are a few how-to books on: canning and speaking German
Julie’s last blog post…Self and Family Care
Peace, love and happiness? Oh, those are givens! I have been drooling over this necklace for a long time, and it’s on the top of my very small christmas wish list!
I would love winter boots, hats, and gloves!
Shilo Beedy’s last blog post…This Full House
I actually don’t have anything on my Christmas list yet – shocking isn’t it? But if pressed, I would love to have a new sewing machine. That will likely fall behind the new carport though!
I’d kill for a MacBook. And a Wii.
Aoi’s last blog post…partake
I want to get pregnant with my second and final child to complete our little family. This would be the best Christmas gift for all of us.
I want unlimited internet.
CanCan (Mom Most Traveled)’s last blog post…Fun and Games Giveaway: Beddy Bye Baby
I subscribe to Lisa’s blog too….love it…for Christmas this year? I would like a printer that works so I don’t have to go to the library every time I want a copy of something!
A new pair of house slippers
On my wishlist? A new bookshelf.
It’s the simple things really….
I asked my husband for ONE thing for Christmas this year: shelves! I don’t care if he does it himself or hires someone, but I want shelves put up in our basement. I’ve wanted/needed shelves for over a year!
Gina’s last blog post…CVS Scenarios for the week of 9/14
I have a list of craft books on amazon and I would love to see a few under the tree. I’m also hoping for some help in the kitchen and a nice quiet family Christmas.
Amanda’s last blog post…first days and a bit of a break
A new rice maker that doesn’t make a mess of my counter!
What a terrific giveaway! I love Lisa Leonard’s designs, too. Great gift idea for new moms, grandmothers, sisters, etc. Any woman, really.
On my Christmas list this year is a Master Bedroom Makeover. My husband and I are giving ourselves new bedding, new bedside tables, new lamps, and new curtains. Or at least new bedding. 
Thanks again for a fun post!
Robin
I am not into material things, and would rather give than receive, but I could really use a small deep-freeze for Christmas. It sounds silly, doesn’t it? Thank you for offering this beautiful giveaway!
Chrysanthemama’s last blog post…Chaos Ensues
a dutch oven….that’s number one….or the complete set of Paula Deen cookbooks. I heart her completely
)
I really want to add a puppy to our family. I keep hinting to my husband and showing him the want ads. I highly doubt I’ll get one though.
Hee, I’ll enter. I need a food processor/blender for the kitchen. I want to make hummus and smoothies at home!
Grey’s last blog post…Carnivals, Festivals, and Weekly Link Love
Before I even saw there was a give-away, I was already adding this to my Christmas wish list! How funny!!! My heart skipped a beat when I saw that necklace, I am in LOVE!!!!
So beside the necklace being on my wish list, a weekend get-away with my hubby would the other thing on my list. Thanks so much for the chance to win! I sure hope I do!!
Anna Sophia’s last blog post…For the Love of Pumpkin
I’m wishing for a garden bench.
Dh and I this year have a joint-wish…. we’re hoping for an LCD big-screen tv. Those necklaces look great – would love to win! Thanks so much!
Tonya’s last blog post…Something Different
Oh, I have too many things on my Christmas list already. But the #1 thing is a Canon slr camera. I want one so bad!
I am wishing for a garden cart to haul all my tools around the yard while I garden. My second choice is an ipod
One thing on my Christmas wishlist: A Lisa Leonard necklace, of course! It really is…I keep browsing her site and casually showing my husband various pieces that I especially like. “Isn’t this one cool? Oh, look, we could put both girls’ names on it! She makes these all by hand. Don’t you think we should buy handmade for Christmas this year?” and so on. Yeah, I’m subtle.

I’d love some new linens…for the bedroom, master bath and even the kitchen. Nice crisp and white linens.

On my Christmas List is lots of winter clothes since we moved to a very cold area!
Ashley’s last blog post…Working and Playing
SNOW…living here in Texas that is rare, but I am placing it at the top of my Christmas wish list this year…OH and HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS via my mom! Other than that, I really don’t need or want anything else money can buy…I feel blessed to have healthy, happy kids, a funny husband, and an awesome church! I love watching my son’s eyes as he walks in to see what Santa brought on Christmas morning…those are my gifts!
Blessings to you!
I really want to learn to machine quilt, and my current machine just won’t do the trick . . . so, I guess the thing I would like most this Christmas would be a sewing machine with a darning foot.
I would love a food saver, I am trying to buy more bulk foods and this sure would come in handy!
I’ve been thinking about treating myself to one of Lisa’s necklaces for my 40th birthday. As for Christmas, I’d love a warm pair of cycling boots for my winter commute.
Hmmmm…. I haven’t thought about Christmas yet, BUT…. I would BIG PUFFY HEART a long black fitted winter coat, and if I may be so BOLD — Cashmere would make me soooooo happy : P
A Wii. But I would really be happy with 1 hour just by myself.
I’d like a Whirley-Pop Stovetop Popcorn Popper. I’m done with microwave popcorn, and I’d like a theater taste again. Besides, I think my kids would get a kick out of it on movie nights.
I would really *love* a weekend alone to reconnect with my husband… sometimes it is just so hard to stop and make sure that we have our together time.
I just love Lisa’s stuff. I bought this necklace for my mother-in-law for her birthday, and almost kept it for myself.
I’m a huge collector of tv on dvd so I just want to add to my collection.
Thank you!
I want a breadmaker!!
I would love to remodel my entire kitchen for christmas… but since i doubt santa can fit that in his sleigh, I will be happy with some fun yarn for knitting socks!
I would love to have an SLR camera. I think my dh has noticed all the hints.
Rustic white dinnerware from Crate and Barrel is what i’ve been eyeing for a while now…:)
Hmmm, I really want Photoshop or some other decent photo editing software.
A house would be nice, but I’ll settle for Photoshop
Eternal Sunshine’s last blog post…The return of the weekend update.
For my husband to stay safe over in Afghanistan.
On my Christmas wish list is honestly, just a great day with my family. It will be my first Christmas as a married woman, and I can’t wait for my husband to experience all our crazy traditions! Being with my parents and siblings is the best gift I could get. Well, maybe besides this necklace
Just kidding!
What I would like for Christmas is for the kids to stop fighting. Since I know I won’t get this, I guess my second choice is anything from LUSH fresh handmade cosmetics (www.lush.com). So many yummy smelling soaps, bubble bars, massage bars… Just Dreamy!
Virginia’s last blog post…backside
I would love a new food processor. Mine is only good for two people and with our two kids, I think I have outgrown it! Thanks for the great website and giveaway!
Ashley BB’s last blog post…Been Busy This Week
Printer ink:-) Seriously. I am out, and it is really not in the budget right now.
Mama Koala’s last blog post…Ike and Blog Absence
I haven’t given much thought to Christmas yet, but I would really like a new camera to indulge my growing interest in photography.
The new “slate” color Le Crueset dutch oven – have you seen it? I swear my face print is still on the window of Williams Sonoma from our love at first sight encounter. It doesn’t look the same in pictures. In real life it looks like the ocean. And it loves me too, I just know it.
Nikki’s last blog post…Fridge Magnets
I am jonesing for ANYTHING from Inside a Black Apple’s shop. But most especially The Fairy Ring painting. It would be perfection in my work area.
There are a few things I want for Christmas, but the thing I want the very most is to have a season filled with laughter and time together as a family. We don’t seem to get enough of that around here!
Jamie W.’s last blog post…
I’d love a new watch. What a cute necklace, by the way! Thanks for promoting quality items. I plan to see more of what she does.
Amy @ My Daily Dollars’s last blog post…Carnival of Money Stories #77
My husband and i stick to a $100 gift limit on Christmas, so we are forced to be a lot more creative. The list of things i want is long (and unattainable on our tight budget)…new furniture in the new house, a sewing machine (and sewing lessons), some new clothes, but mostly, number 1 for me will be blessed to start a family together in the coming year.
Well my greatest Christmas / Hankukah wish is that my husband, my 14 month old, my new born (due in 2 weeks) and myself will be able to save enough money to be able to fly to New Zealand (my original home) to see all the family. No one expect my parents have seen my children yet and its my DREAM to have the kids see their 4 great-grandparents before its too late. And of course all the aunties and uncles!! We now live in Israel, which certainly couldnt be farther away! So that is my one Christmas wish. Amy
I’d LOVE to go clothes shopping. Its been a long while, as its not in “the budget.”
On my wish list this year is a sewing machine. I haven’t done any sewing since high school many years ago, and I want to start again. My house and I both need this creative outlet!
Suzanne’s last blog post…Shades of Our Morning
My secret Christmas wish is for dog ( a recue greyhound to be exact!)
A new camera!!
I’m hoping for a peaceful holiday and some great family time for Christmas.
time — time to sew, to knit, to zone out, to work out, to play, to hike, to watch my tivo’d shows… you get the idea.
and also, the rock band video game. and time to play it.
michelle’s last blog post…Two things.
I would love, for Christmas, a few of my favorite seasons on DVD. I never have time to watch anything anymore [although I ALWAYS make time for Smallville, Weeds, + Top Chef]. I would also really enjoy, for Christmas, to be relocated and living in Florida or San Fran.
Bridgette’s last blog post…Day One: F vs F
I am hoping for gift card for some new clothes or a food processor.
For Christmas I’d like my bedroom repainted. The wall paper has got to go!
We’re trying hard not to bring more stuff into our lives, but my cookware is in desperate need of updating! I think I’m done forever with non-stick pans . . . love the birdy necklace, so sweet!
Vintage Mommy’s last blog post…Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
I REALLY want WiiFit. I borrowed my friend’s while she was on vacation and I LOVE it. It is such a GREAT way to exercise. It’s at the very top of my list. : )
Love those beautiful necklaces, I have never seen her jewelry before. Thank you for all your fabulous giveaways, I always find such nice vendors through you!
On my Christmas wish list is a french press so I can enjoy a good cup of coffee every now and then.
one thing on my christmas wish list?
that’s easy! i would love Lolita Lempicka perfume! the scent is candy sweet, a little fragrant, it’s definitely a trademark scent for a girly girl! And best of all? the bottle looks like a fairytale apple. i have been coveting this little item for years and here’s hoping my husband will come through!
marie’s last blog post…tailgating = why i miss college.
Ironically, the only thing on my list so far is jewelry. So, hook me up!

brandiandboys’s last blog post…My Boys and Their Bikes
I would love to buy up my local bookstore- so a gift certificate there would be the perfect gift!
I’d love to find an unfinished, thrifted wooden cabinet for storing the kids’ art supplies within their reach!
Number one on my Holiday wishlist is a new set of pots and pans. Ideally, the remaining Calphalon items from our wedding registry.
a healthy baby boy!
I seriously had one of her kids’ names necklaces on my wish list. This would suffice, though.
Jen’s last blog post…Musings on Books and Sports
What I would love for Christmas would me an MP3 player that holds lots of songs, so that I can download all my free PepsiStuff music onto it and not compete with my older boys for their rock-laden (Linkin Park for 3hours straight, anyone?!!) MP3 Zens. And love, peace and happiness for our family and for all my friends.
Beautiful design. My wish list item (for the past several years and until I finally get one or win one from The Pioneer Woman) is a KitchenAid Mixer.
Kristen M.’s last blog post…Unique Skins Review & Giveaway
Honestly, I told my husband a few months ago when I first saw these necklaces, that the one with the small squares is what I wanted for Christmas. I really am not kidding! So I thought it was kind of funny when I read the rules for the entry! =)
Laine Chambers’s last blog post…Muffin Tin Tuesdays
New around town bicycle for pulling a bike stroller and to replace the one my parents bought me when I went away to college 15 years ago.
Now I have to have Lisa Leonard jewelry. Seriously. They are so simply beautiful.
Thank you for this awesome blog also. You rock.
Julie
It has been a rough couple of months lately—so I would like everyone to be healthy and peaceful in mind, body and soul for Christmas.
First there was my “uplifting” experience with my bladder (after 4 BIG babies, everything was falling down on the job.)
Then husband’s gall bladder wanted out—-BEFORE his open-heart surgery (valve repair because of rheumatic fever as a child.)
During all this, my dad has been in hospice care at his home.
Peace on earth never sounded so good.
Gosh, I haven’t thought about Christmas yet! Yikes! I do love the calendar you mentioned here a week or so ago… I think that might be an early gift to myself though! Christmas – how about a week skiing with the family?
Peace,
Candice
I haven’t even thought of a Christmas list yet! But I do love Lisa Leonard’s jewelry and would love one of her pieces.
Gidget’s last blog post…Weekly Surf Spots
I would love to have some new pamper me items… I am usually the last one around to get new stuff because I buy for hubby and the kids first. So some nice products for me would be great!
micaela6955 at msn dot com
The one thing on my Christmas wishlist is a large Austin Leather Satchel by Michael Kors. I don’t have any designer bag, this would be my first.
Elisa’s last blog post…Teaching responsibility
I am hoping to get an under-the-kitchen-cabinets CD player/radio, so I can easily listen to music while I clean and cook.
I’m already subscribed – e-mailed you with the only code I found, IO hope it’s the right one
Elisa’s last blog post…Teaching responsibility
I would love a big roomy canvas bag!
well, since you mention it. i would like a skirt for christmas. and how about this one from banana republic?

tacy’s last blog post…bird leaf
I have one of Lisa’s Teeny Tiny Initials necklaces on my Christmas wishlist.
Nicki’s last blog post…Back to School
I don’t have a breadmaker yet. Still kneading by hand or drafting my 14 yo DS when I can. Thaks for this giveaway!
My holiday wishlist has opera tickets on it. I doubt that I will get them, since nobody seems to take my request seriously, but there it is! I also want gift cards. Booooring.
Visions of a new ipod are dancing in my head!
This was easy. I ordered some of her jewelry about a month ago. Love it! Now as far as what is on my Christmas list! I would have to say some quality time with my family would mean more than anything. You see my husband is a fireman and is working 24 hours on Christmas Eve. And I am a flight nurse and work 24 hours on Christmas Day. So I just hope and pray that someone will help us out to get a little quality time together with Emma too! I posted on my blog http://www.cutcreateandcare.blogspot.com my feelings on this jewelry and about the giveaway. And your code is girly girl. Thanks.
Lisa Jamerson’s last blog post…Jewelry
One thing I want for Christmas is for my dad to be healthy.
Now if we are talking material goods, one thing I’d like is a Dyson Vacuum.
Something that my husband picks out himself with no direction from me.
Clothes!
I need some new clothes – fun stuff that I enjoy wearing. I tend to buy for everyone in the family and ‘make do’ for myself. That’s a biggie on my list this year. Kids and hubby want a wii. Thanks!
Seriously, before I even saw your giveaway, I have been wanting a Lisa Leonard necklace. I just had a baby and told my husband that I want a necklace that I can proudly show off our two son’s names. I just love her jewelry and hope I get one for Christmas or from your giveaway! Thanks!
The one thing I want for Christmas, and will probably end up buying for myself since my kids are all under 10, is an iPod. I really would love to have music at work.
There really isn’t much I want right now – a new bathrobe would be nice.
Pam’s last blog post…Deal of the week!
It’s a toss up…a KitchenAid mixer or money for my “new Mac fund.” But first things first…there is a Lisa Leonard package upstairs in my husband’s desk waiting for my birthday next week…talk about self control! The suspense is killing me
ipod
I think that her jewelry ROCKS! I have always wanted one, we have 6 children and sometimes getting jewelry is way down on the totem pole of “necessities” But it would be cool to win one ! Whats on my christmas list? a weekend get away with my husband where we are Nicole & Tim and not once hear MOM & DAD for 48 hours. We all need that sometimes! I forget my own name at times since I am either Tim’s wife or Derek, Tania, Tiara, Sean, Tori or Zoey’s mom.
The one thing on my list is another home computer
On my list this year is a brand new pair of cozy slippers to wear this winter when I’m home with my new baby. I think they’ll go great with this necklace, no?
This is my first Christmas without extended family – just me, my husband, and my young daughter. I want to create some meaningful, special traditions this year.
The only thing on my Christmas list this year is a healthy baby. Last Christmas we lost a baby & this Christmas we’re expecting a baby.
snow on christmas morning!
Beautiful!
Lisa- Domestic Accident’s last blog post…It was a good day
Beleive it or not, I would love for my hubby to get me one of Lisa’s necklaces. I juts love them…for the same reasons you described.
wesleyjeanne’s last blog post…Bedtime Grace
I’d like some soft, delicious yarn to make myself something. Or someone to come help organize my husband’s home office.
Or a baby.
(Really, I’d be most excited to have another baby.)
Maybe patience is what I’d like most.
hmmm… a conundrum.
Thanks for your great blog, and sharing your life.
Mary
Santa Baby – please bring me a new hammock – this summer has been brutal without one – It was always a place to snooze, read or snuggle with the little ones.
pretty much the only thing on my Christmas wish list (at the moment LOL) would be a Bernina sewing machine! We’ve just found out that baby #2 is a girl and that makes me want to learn to sew more/better even more! Thanks!
jodi’s last blog post…A boy needs some wheels!
My Christmas list always contains a Bookstore Gift Certificate!
Barb Szyszkiewicz’s last blog post…Underground
I may ask for a Lisa necklace, but I really want a new computer. The necklace is a little more likely.
Mary Beth’s last blog post…Encore
I would love to be able to see my family this Christmas. Lots going on over the holidays. November – Uganda & Sudan and December – Guatemala. Just want a little time with the ones who made me who I am!
Andrea Phillips’s last blog post…Slim Fast. Really?
Actually, jewelry’s on my wish list!
By the way, a friend of mine does metalwork jewelry too, and she uses resins to add some punchy color. Check out Metalsgirl!
one thing that i want for christmas is a stand up jewerly box. I’ve wanted one for a while now so i hope this year is it.
stephanie’s last blog post…Labor day weekend
I really want a scrapbook case to keep all my scrap booking stuff:)
gaitha’s last blog post…The waiting game and the pool
I really want a fancy chef’s knife- or maybe a trip to the spa? They both sound good to me!
Well, the dream Christmas gift right now is for us to finally own our own home, but I think that I’ll have to wait on that one! So, I would settle for the book “The Gentle Art of Domesticity” or a new pair of maroon Dansko clogs or a 50mm lense for my camera!
P.S. I just discovered your lovely little blog last week and am enjoying it so much! Pretty much every post I read is encouraging and inspiring…Thank you!
andi’s last blog post…ten on ten :: september
Awesome jewelry! One thing on my Christmas wish list is more camera stuff–mostly lenses, although a new camera would be really nice, too.
a digital camera…I’m still in 35mm world!
One thing I want for Christmas – More time with my family (and another addition to the family).
one thing on my list? this adorable sweet and simple bird necklace
velvet’s last blog post…jackie chan said i can
Hmmm…what I would really like is one (or all three) of the mum paintings on the Paint in my Hair blog. They are a bit out of my price range right now, so I can only hope for Christmas. I love Lisa Leonard’s jewelry!
A semester of yoga classes…
A safe delivery of a healthy baby boy! (We’re due on Christmas Day!)
I am asking/begging for a WII Fit for Christmas… I am on a mission to lose these pesky baby pounds and I think the WII Fit would be so much fun. I also really need a new camera- so we’ll see what the hubby comes up with!!
Blessings!!
Jenn W
One item on my Christmas wish list is a new book..perhaps a good thriller..no love stories please..just an interesting story.
Dawn’s last blog post…Imagine what a dollar can do!
I’m hoping for a new camera full equipped with lenses etc. Great blog by the way…
A planner. A really cute and functional planner. I don’t know why I don’t just go buy one because I could really use one!
I love her stuff! One of her necklaces is actually on my Christmas list! Awesome give away!
Heather Hamm’s last blog post…
A new handbag. It really helps me when I have a fun handbag to carry all my stuff in.
I want to be able to travel “home” to spend the holiday with my family.
I want my own sewing machine. I’m ready to start a quilt and don’t want to always borrow my mom’s.
My Christmas wish…is for a bun in the oven. A tiny and sweet baby on its way would be a dream come true.
Great giveaway! Fingers crossed.
I really want a new digital camera! Love these necklaces though – I am going to have to check them out too!
I was just thinking today that I would love a new tennis outfit, skirt and all!
An mp3 player
Things that I actually need or want. Our family is starting a “wish list” this year. We are to name 5 things under $50 that we actually want.
Denise’s last blog post…if a wood chuck did chuck wood
Medela Freestyle, hands free breast pump. i go back to work 12/22/08, and this would be grrreat!
amanda soule’s book “the creative family”
Just one thing? Hmm, how about lots and lots of pretty yarn for my dream project: a hexagon afghan. That would be just wonderful [sigh]! *B
SummersCamp’s last blog post…this stinks…
I too would love an iPod for Christmas!
We celebrate Hanukkah instead of Christmas, and I’m pining for an iPhone. But, I doubt it will come to be. So, a more reasonable request from my sweet husband is an overnight at Shoshoni, a yoga retreat center 45 minutes north of me. Yoga, meditation, kirtan…I feel refreshed just thinking about it!!
Ellen’s last blog post…Time Outs
I blogged about it n my blogged about the giveaway. Now this necklace is on my Christmas list.
A wii or a new digital camera!
I really want a good, not-too-expensive jogging stroller! I haven’t run since before my daughter was born and I miss it so!
Sarah’s last blog post…Halfway through September
- Some new clothes for my trip to Hawaii the week after Christmas.
I would love a new camera.
lcd tv
I want a Mei Tai baby carrier, possibly a CatBird Baby but the final decision is yet to be made. And a pair of sunglasses as I am hopefully getting my eyes lasered in December. Bring on the summer!!!
Keelie’s last blog post…Father’s Day
I think that yarn will be a big part of my wish list. That is the only time when I can get fancier yarn than I would normally be able to afford.
Awesome Mom’s last blog post…Eye of the storm?
The number one wish on my list: I want to wake up next to my husband on Christmas morning. This is his second Christmas (well, all the holidays…) in a row in Iraq. Next Christmas he’s mine!
I NEEEEED a MACbook =)
But I would also love to spend Christmas with my family, parents, siblings and in-laws in a cozy cabbin somewhere where there’s SNOW
Karisa’s last blog post…¡Envíale este email a todos tu amigos en los próximos 5 minutos y algo bueno te sucederá!
There are a lot of things on my wish list. Clothes/jewelry, Willow Tree figures (I love those!), stuff to decorate our new place. I guess I haven’t really thought about it much, though. I can’t believe Christmas is so close already!
Jillian Robertson’s last blog post…Moving In
I would like to have “no stress” family time remembering the reason for Christmas.
i’m easy to please……one of those adorable initial mugs from Anthropologie I see on a lot of blogs!
Christmas…anything handmade by my husband, he is pretty crafty and I think this year we are doing only handmade gifts for everyone. A nice painting would be great.
Keilah’s last blog post…M-I-C-K-E-Y
I’m hoping to make a lot of gifts for the kids and have them appreciate them, that is my christmas wish!
At the top of my Christmas wish list would be, well, maybe an afternoon off? I’m easy to please
Fun giveaway
Amanda @ http://www.kiddio.org’s last blog post…Miscellaneous Busy-ness
I want a print of one of Kelly Rae Roberts’ paintings. They make my heart happy.
I want a new set of pots & pans – sounds boring, but not really. Mine are kind of dinged up on the bottom & rock on the flat surface stove we now have. Thanks for asking! : )
Teri’s last blog post…Frog!!
I am hoping for a remodel of my kitchen pantry so I can store my appliances inside.
Honestly, I was going to tell my kids I wanted the very same necklace that you are giving away! I love her style.
A laptop!
I’d really like a great quality food processor/blender. I have 4 daughters, and, in my effort to get them to eat more nutritious breakfasts, homemade breads and smoothies are a usual part of our menu. They’re loving it!
The book:
The Gentle Art of Domesticity: Stitching, Baking, Nature, Art & the Comforts of Home
by Jane Brocket
The River Cottage Family Cookbook! (Maybe I’ll decide not to wait until Christmas…)
Wow, I haven’t even thought about what I want for Christmas yet, but I have been starting to plan ahead for things I want to do with my family in hopes of having a more organized, less stressful holiday season! My husband usually gives me a gift certificate to a spa near us and babysits while I indulge – I will be super happy if he does that again this year!
Steph @ Problem Solvin’ Mom’s last blog post…Tweightloss Update
One thing on my wish list is the Knitter’s Loom. And the stand and the bag… I want to be able to use up all the scraps and clear some clutter out of my closet!
Nifty necklaces
A Canon Rebel DSLR
For me, it’s blocking wires and/or a blocking board for my knitting obsession.
My list goes on and on this year- is that terrible?? One thing I would love is an ipod shuffle. Just the right kind of motivation to keep working out!
Oh my, I’ve hardly thought about Christmas… and I need to start! I definitely would love a piano/keyboard, and I think my husband might be planning on getting that for me.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Lindsey
Lindsey@A Kindred Spirits Thoughts’s last blog post…Jaedyn loves Jane Eyre, too!
The top of my christmas list is a new flatscreen tv for our family room. One that will fit in the built in cabinet next to the fireplace so I can see it from the kitchen. We will have to see what Santa has in his bag.
I would very much like a Waffle Iron, and some new clothes. :0)
Vanessa’s last blog post…Guess what…
A GPS. I’d like to visit my mother 9 hours away without getting lost on the way!
ohhhh — some new brown danskos top my list (along with an Obama win — but that will be decided before then)…
jessica’s last blog post…saying goodbye… and hello
I’ve been admiring her necklaces for a while, so I have to admit one of them is on my Christmas wish list. They are such a sweet way to celebrate being a mom while still being a girl!

mindi’s last blog post…*fingers crossed* for peach trees
You’re not going to believe this…I just asked my husband for a Lisa Leonard necklace! Oh my goodness! I would be blessed to win. Thanks for the opportunity.
Kristyn’s last blog post…simplify and savor #1
I never ask for anything for Christmas. My husband and I gave up presents a couple of years ago except to give a couple of them to the kids so I don’t even have a wishlist at all.
I want a laminator! Big dreams, huh?!
Jennifer’s last blog post…Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross
I’d love a week’s vacation–just me and the hubby! It wouldn’t even matter where we were!
I guess a Nintendo Wii + Wii Fit … hoping it will bring me the motivation I need to start working out and having more energy. But, I love these necklaces and just today bought a stunning piece of work to wear to cheer me up from my serious life-changing dramatics. Thanks for the giveaway contest … that’s nice of you both!
Shawn’s last blog post…It’s almost 9 p.m. …
I would love a new pair of Dr. Scholls slippers for Christmas or a special “mom” gift from my boys. I love the necklace by the way! Nancy dvincent@twcny.rr.com
to be able to spend Christmas with my extended family in canada
Hmmm .. rarely am I asked what I want for Christmas. I’d love to get a better lens for my Cannon DSLR and a scanner as I’d like to scan old (pre-digital) family photos, as well as my boys’ artwork.
Erin’s last blog post…Punt it like Pelé
I do have to say I love the simplicity of Lisa Leonard’s jewelry. I was just thinking I really don’t have many ideas for Christmas for either giving or receiving. I think the current economic situation is getting the better of me and I am going to think “outside the box” this year. Things just don’t seem to matter that much…experiences are more important.
what is on my list??? A pair of black hills gold hoop earrings.
Marcia “HDMac” McFarlane’s last blog post…White Christmas – goes with the next post!
We’d like a Wii as a family gift this year. If we can track one down, that is…
I think it would be an airline ticket to see my daughter overseas…this will be our second Christmas without her and her hubby .
I’d love an ipod since all my kids have one!
On my Christmas list this year is a slower pace and more time with my family. Oh, and a new camera lense!
I reeeeally want cherry red flats. I’ve wanted them for the last 2 years, but no one can find them anywhere in my size (11…bummer)

wrongshoes’s last blog post…The year of love
a new vacuum cleaner!
Peace on earth and a debt-free 2009!
Whoops! My last comment went into a void.
So, NOW, for Christmas I want Lisa Leonard’s “itty biity hearts necklace” with my husband’s and son’s initials. You are a marketing genius!
wrongshoes’s last blog post…The year of love
Count me in for the giveaway!
And what do I want for Christmas? There are several things I want, but I’m going to have to narrow it down to one thing, I think. They are big items.
- A new set of cookware that’s NOT non-stick (scary Teflon… yuck!)
- A new vacuum (maybe a Dyson?)
- A new duvet cover. Our current one has cat vomit stains on it and cat-claw holes all over it. (Guess we shouldn’t let the cat on the bed anymore, huh?)
- Rocking chairs for our front porch. Our son loves it outside, but we don’t have any good place to sit with him out there.
Amy’s last blog post…Time To Work?
I’m sorry if I posted this more than once, but I wasn’t sure if my last comment posted…
What I REALLY want for Christmas is our house to sell. We own a house across the country that we lived in for 2 years. We moved back to our homestate for a great job offer, and the house has been on the market for over 1 1/2 years now, but hasn’t sold!
I also wrote about your giveaway on my blog The Nifty Thrifty Homemaker… http://www.niftythriftyhome.blogspot.com
Oh how I’d love a Bosch mixer! But now I think I’m adding a necklace with my childrens’ names on little cute squares!!! love your blog! thanks for all the great ideas.
Mary-Sue’s last blog post…I love this…
I want a IPOD because I plan on taking up running soon.
Mindy’s last blog post…Have some Vanilla Joy!
Besides asking for my kids to make something for me–card, macaroni picture, anything–I want a new terry cloth robe.
Love her necklaces!!

A mew dishwaher, boring but great.
My Christmas wish is always for a bit of sparkly snow! We live in Kansas so it’s hit or miss here. Oh, and a lovely little piece of Lisa Leonard jewelry.
I would love the making memories slice machine for christmas for my scrapbooking projects!
Le Creuset Dutch Oven.
and this necklace

Rebecca C’s last blog post…Giveaways! 9/16
I would really like to get a Cuisinart Food processor.
A relaxing family Christmas! That in the midst of the hulabaloo of all the church activities, parties, programs etc. that I will keep Jesus central in my thoughts….not giving in to the holiday stress that takes our joy and rememberance of the tiny baby that came to save the world.
I would love Santa if he would bring me a wii fit….and some motivation to lose this baby weight!
I just recently started making lists for the kids and was thinking of things I could ask for. It is usually hard to come up with things for myself but was thinking that I needed to work on my style a little more. Necklaces was actually on the top of my list. I wanted some that could be worn dressed down or up. I think this necklace is beautiful! What a great giveaway!
My wishlist consists of being able to spend time with my boyfriend since i hardly ever see him. Or some cute shoes haha!
Hmmm….Christmas? I hadn’t really thought about it yet, but now that I do, I think I would love an antique-reproduction bookcase with glass sliding doors to house my overflowing book collection. I don’t know if Santa can swing that this year, so if not, maybe some great new books?
a day with my sister. that’s what i want for christmas.
Books, fun paper w/ markers, pencils, paints, etc. I love to read and draw/create so anything along those lines is great!
Hm … Christmas wishes already? You know, I have been dying for a copy of the new translation of “Pippi Longstocking” illustrated by Lauren Child, to read to my daughter after we finish “Alice in Wonderland”. So that’s my current Christmas wish, although if I get it before then I won’t complain!
AgnesMinerva’s last blog post…A Beautiful Mess
Hmm…I must say it’s a sewing machine. But since I’m getting married in June, I’d be happy with a couch. Or chairs. Or a bed.
Can’t be picky coming out of college!
Marian’s last blog post…Batterie de Cuisine
I would love for my husband to take the bebe and invite me to go to a movie with friends. I would also love a full night rest (here’s hoping).
The best Christmas presents are always something handmade. I would much rather have a pot holder that was made by my granddaughter than just about anything. Of course, a Lisa Leonard necklace in the ole’ stocking wouldn’t be so bad either!
The bool: The Mother in Me: Real-World Reflections on Growing Into Motherhood by Kathryn Lynard Soper.
This sounds bad, but I would just like some money! I’m having a hard time paying for school right now, so any money that I could get to put towards that would be amazing. Honestly, I would rather get that than something I didn’t want that I would never, ever use. And I would love a Wii/Wii Fit…they’re so expensive though, I don’t think I’ll ever get one =( but I truly want it!
A new pair of cozy, cute Pj’s. It’s on my list every year, but have yet to receive. Because I always end up saying “oh I’ll just keep wearing that really old t-shirt to bed”.
Thanks for the chance to win a wonderful necklace! Also just want to say thanks for the great blog here. I’ve been checking in for awhile now, and I’m really enjoying it. Thanks for sharing all that you do!
Now if I can figure out how to subscribe to your feed…
I would love to have another baby!!!
The one thing that’s on my wishlist for Christmas is a new camera. I’ve had mine ever since freshmen year in college, and it is hobbling along on its last leg. Half the time the lens won’t open, and the other half of the time the flash takes so long to charge that I’ve missed some VERY precious moments with our daughter. We’re a military family, so none of our relatives are close by and she’s the first grandchild. Her grandparents, aunts/uncles, and great-grandparents literally live for her pictures, and I seriously get calls within 5 minutes of emailing them out. A new camera would be -so- useful…!
seesawstar’s last blog post…Works for Me Wednesday: TV Trays
ON my Christmas wishlist is a new camera bag…The Crumpler six million dollar home to be exact! I like it because is weather proof, can also hold all my extra mom like stuff along with my digital rebel, lens and other camera goodies!!!!
rani shah’s last blog post…In tribute, in rememberance…never forget
Just posted on my blog too!!!! Thanks for the fun!!!
rani shah’s last blog post…Simple Mom Giveaway!!!!
I would LOVE a new outift (or three). I have that mom-wardrobe issue as well, and I need an update!!!
Katie’s last blog post…My Addiction
Greetings! I would so love to own a piece of Lisa Leonard’s jewelry!
I also love to wear perfume everyday. Tresor and Romance are two
of my favorites. Thanks for a wonderful contest. Cindi
The only thing I can think of would be a gift certificate to a spa day just for me. I have a 2 yr old and a 6 month old and I would love that!
April’s last blog post…Pixxies
one of those clarisonic face things to work magic and make me pretty!!
I completely agree with the whole “girl” look. I feel better about myself and it doesn’t hurt my marriage either!
For Christmas I pretty much want service type things- shelves in my laundry room, my bedroom painted, shelves put up in my craft room. Most of these I have the supplies but not the know-how. I am direct and oh so easy to please so it works for us.
Hannah’s last blog post…Bullet Style Thoughts
I would like to get Wii for the family to enjoy and not disappoint my son who is so looking forward to Santa bringing one.
A new pair of running shoes! My old ones are getting pretty beat up.
Love this giveaway. The bird necklace is adorable.
Jen’s last blog post…Red and yellow, black and white
A new camera.
Kristin Doyle’s last blog post…I had a dream…
A Gandolfo’s “Burning Bridge” Sandwich from Utah, I live in Hawaii and can’t get a great NY Deli sandwich.
Check out my blog: rachandjaseohana.blogspot.com I left a blog about Simple Mom…my new addiction
I would love a bike with a baby seat attachment for bubba. Whilst I can ride a bike, I’ve never actually owned my very own bike.
What I’d like for chrissy are some polaroid sunnies for the hot Australian summer!
Backup storage (external drive) for my computer.
Trish’s last blog post…Walgreens Deals
I want a new toilet and new sink for my bathroom. We bought a near 100 year old house and are redoing it, but on a budget so we are using as much of the original stuff that was here until we absolutely have to replace it.
On my Christmas list… I have asked my husband to have all of our wedding photo negatives turned digital. Our 10 year anniversary falls just before Christmas and I would love to have a CD of our wedding photos.
Jody’s last blog post…YouTube Commercial
I would really love a brown cashmere wrap sweater like one that JJill used to carry but doesn’t anymore. Dh and I usually don’t give gifts to each other but what I’m really hoping for is tile for the kitchen floor.
melody’s last blog post…the countdown begins…
A camera bag and a new purse are on my Christmas list this year.
Martine’s last blog post…Tuesdays Lunch
A digital book reader; and lots of lovely books!
The #1 thing on my list is a brand spanking new MacBook Pro, though a Kindle from Amazon is a close second
Truly…just to have a simple, Christ centered celebration with family. I wish there wasn’t all the gift giving or that it was very simple gifts given. The gift part seems to take over the whole season.
I would love a piece of Lisa Leonard jewelry with my kids names…I’m definately putting it on my list this year. I love her jewelry as well as her creative muse…her family!
for christmas i would love… a new camera!!
i’m dying for this bird necklace for Christmas! and maybe a new house
jane’s last blog post…double layer dupioni silk ring sling
An IPOD!
Hmmm… Christmas. I’m thinking a gift card to Home Depot. There are a few things I’d like to fix up in this house, in preparation to sell maybe in the spring.
Hautemama’s last blog post…Having fun at the fair!
I never thought an electronic device would make it on any wish list of mine, but the truth is that what I want most this year is a digital voice recorder! I want to record my toddler’s sweet singing and chatter and my older girls’ beautiful harp/viola/clarinet recitals and impromptu backseat choral concerts…then there are my aging granddad’s childhood stories and my dad’s singing in the kitchen while he cooks….the list goes on!
I want to get my teeth whitened for Christmas! Does that come off as gross??
Have you seen that Disneyland commercial where its the father who runs down the stairs to see the disney commercial on t.v. ?Well, thats me. Disneyland is on my wish list – not my children’s. I’ve never been there and would love to feel that magic..
Jeannie’s last blog post…challenging daughter
Gift cards are on my wish list this year, that way I can buy
what I like.
Thank you!
janetfaye (at) gmail (dot) com
I {heart} Lisa’s jewlery and would love to win the cute
birdy necklace!
Thanks for the giveaway!
For Christmas I would like passes to the zoo for my family.
Since our budget is tight… this year I’m asking for things
like passes to the movies.. passes to the zoo… giftcards
to McDonalds (to take my boys every once in a while)
These are things we’ve cut out of our budget this past year.

melissa’s last blog post…Missing in Action… not really!
We’re simplifying Christmas this year, so I’m hoping for a whole lot more cookie-baking, popcorn-ball making, and caroling!
My wish is for new pots and pans. I’ve had the same ones for 15 years and they’re pretty warped and scratched.
I love the jewelry, too!
After years of thinking otherwise, I was recently shocked to learn that I love Scrabble. So this year I’m asking for the Deluxe Turntable Scrabble Board that revolves so none of us needs to do acrobatics to read the board. It comes with handsome burgundy tiles.
Jennifer Phillips’s last blog post…Here we are again.
A clean house, everyday. Okay that’s not going to happen. How about Photoshop Express? I have a LL necklace and love it. She is extremely creative.
patti’s last blog post…Two Years of Canine Fun!
Is it so weird that I want Santa to redo my floors for Christmas? (White carpet + two boys + manchild husband + dog = my complete insanity!) Laminate, here I come!
For Christmas I want either a Wolfgang Puck Food Processor, or a really stylin highchair for my little man
Thanks!
Katie Lyons’s last blog post…Zosephine Diaper/Messenger Bag Giveaway
Hmmm. . . on my list? Actually this necklace! I saw it on a blog last week and sent the link to my husband (very subtle, right?!)
I love Lisa Leonard’s jewelry!
What I want for Christmas … Adobe Photoshop!!!
Ashley’s last blog post…Happy Birthday Aunt C…
i’d love a new computer for christmas!
I want a pair fun and functional, warm for winter boots because I’ve just moved to a snowy climate. Also a gift certificate for the local knit shop would be wonderful. I can already see myself sitting by the fire on a snowy evening tangled in some gorgeous yarn that I have no idea what to do with but will somehow turn into a luxurious scarf!
A new pair of cozy slippers.
Stacy (mama-om)’s last blog post…Reports from Baby Bacchanalia
Ok – so here’s my second chance to win a lovely Lisa necklace. I made a post earlier on my x-mas wish and know have “ta-da” found out how to subscribe to RSS feed. Hey look at that email in my inbox from you – very cool! And the secret code is … Girly Girl.
Thanks Simple Mama
The only thing I want for Christmas is for my husband to get a job. He’s been unemployed for 6 months following an injury. All other “stuff” pales in comparison to having an income.
I would love a Zutter Bind-It-All machine!
Photoshop Elements!
One thing I’d really like for Christmas is a digital frame.
For Christmas I wouldn’t mind one of those necklaces with the kids name on it? Where do you get those? I have 6 kids, and would not mind another kid for christmas LOL .
Georgiann
I have been asking for “Lego Mindstorms” for Christmas for two years. I just know this will be the year! (I’m also in the running for “coolest Grandma ever!”)
Seriously I’m a software developer and I can’t think of a cooler toy – and toys are still fun for me even though I’m a grown-up.
I am hoping for a bookshelf for Ikea to organize my cluttered playroom!!!
I love those necklaces. I’m going to order some as gifts for my sister and mom. As for myself…I’m wishing for a sewing machine for Christmas. I don’t sew…yet…but have been dreaming about doing so for awhile now. Love your blog…keep up the good work.
we’re going for a family gift this year – a wii!
A new house! That’s not too much to ask for, right??
One item on my Christmas wishlist is a food processor.
I blogged about your giveaway here: http://everythingupclose.blogspot.com/2008/09/giveaways-to-help-pass-rainy-day.html
Ha, my husband and I had an identical conversation two weekends ago when I came downstairs after getting ready for a party. He kind of looked dazed and started to say “Wow, I forgot how….” Then he stopped talking, smart man that he is
So I’ve been trying to be more girly.
If I don’t get a bike for my November birthday, that’s top of my Christmas list. Otherwise, a high-powered backpack leaf blower. We have probably 30 hardwoods scattered around our yard, and 10 hours per weekend of backbreaking work in the fall is not fun. It wouldn’t help this year, but we’d be ready for 2009!
i LOVE her stuff!! pick me
randel hambrick’s last blog post…… needin’ me some tech savviness…
I would really like an electric griddle for making pancakes on Sunday mornings, so we can all sit down and eat them together instead of in shifts.
I think that now I’ll have to put Lisa Leonard jewelry on my list! We usually have very simple holidays, with as many homemade gifts as possible. I’m asking my mom to give me some of her tomato sauce, made with ingredients from her garden.
