This giveaway is now closed.
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!

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!

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!

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.
