Celebration Giveaway CLOSED

When I first started opened my etsy store it was more to pay for my hobbies and to have some fun jewelry more than anything else. I never thought I would be at where I am now with my store. Yipes! Somedays I think about it and am taken aback at the fact that people PAY me for something I made and I get to do something I love. Because of it, I have been able to quit my job I had at a law firm out of my house in my 'free time'(it was really only a quarter time job working 2-4 hours a day, but in mommy land, that's a lot). This has de-stressed my life a lot and now I have the flexibility I need being a busy mom with two very active boys. And it's something I want to do, rather than have to do.

Just last week I reached my 1,000 sales mark. I still can't believe it as I write it. So to celebrate I am giving away a $50 gift certificate for anything at my store. That's right. Go nuts, get some Christmas shopping done early or get some thing nice for yourself. I MIGHT even give away 2 gift certificates, one to celebrate my October b-day! We'll see how I'm feeling......

To enter:

1.) Just leave me a comment telling me something great you did that you never thought you could. Please leave me your e-mail address. I have had people win in the past I had no way of telling them they won! That would be sad.

For more entries you can (yes, shameless self promotion, but the first entry is free for all!!!):
Please leave a separate comment for each entry!

2.) Visit my etsy shop and tell me what you would get if you won.

3.) Become a follower on Facebook

4.) Become a follower of my blog

5.) Post my button on your blog (you can find the code on my blog)

Details, details.
Contest goes for one whole week and ends Monday October 25th at midnight.

  1. Hey!! I am entering, because who wouldn't? I'm so proud of your 1000 sales! It's amazing.
    something I never thought I'd do--get married! But somehow your little brother is crazy enough to like me. (:

  2. Also, I would get this, I think...

    http://www.etsy.com/listing/57690208/fallen-oak-leaf-sterling-silver-necklace

    or this...http://www.etsy.com/listing/56103025/mother-earth-antique-brass-leaf-bracelet

    But it's hard to decide.... I guess I'd get a few things! (:

  5. I went four months without walking on my left leg. I never thought I'd make it, I thought I'd die before the end of my time on crutches, but I made it. I also never thought I could run a half marathon, but I did it!

  26. I just started following your blog and I love all of your jewelry, but I would probably buy Daphne(can't choose what color), Unlocked, Calla Lilly, and Everlasting first.

    There are a lot of things in my life that I never thought possible, living was one of them after the sudden death of my mom when I was 16. Not only living but living a meaningful and purposeful life was far beyond my imagination but I do it every day and every day I'm thankful!

  40. Congratulations on 1000 sales! That must feel awesome. :)

    Something I did that I never thought I could is have the guts to admit I didn't really like what I majored in and that I want to do something else with my life. It was tough and I'm still working through it, but I feel so much happier admitting that to myself and those around me.

  51. Congradulations! :D
    Almost two years ago I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatige Syndrome. I worried that I wouldn't be able to complete my GCSE's, I pulled out of school and was put on the waiting list for home tuition. I went without education for over six months, some days I struggled to even sit up.
    However last january I started improving. I began home tuition and joined a virtual classroom online. At the begining of this school year I went in for a textiles lesson. Thats something I never thought I could!
    Im now taking six GCSEs, including art and textiles, and am planning to continue on the take fashion and textiles in college. Im not yet better, but Im slowly getting there (:

  53. Hello,
    Congrats on your milestone !
    I went to my class reunion along with 2 others without an ounce of make up on. It was a dare and quite risky but so LIBERATING and for a good cause. What was Great! and really funny was that everybody said I hadn't changed a bit LOL! Hair done of course and nicely dressed, jewelry,etc. but no make up what was I thinking...:O

    One thing I never thought I'd ever have the nerve to do (again) is drive. My license lapsed when I was a teen. I went through having 3 kids, going on buses (shopping, to library, doctors appt. etc)...always too scared to get my license again and drive. One day, I'd had enough. I got in the car (when no-one was around)...and started to drive. Conquered my fear, got my license.

  136. Congrats on 1000 sales! One of my girls would love to have an etsy shop, but college is taking up too much of her time; some day however...
    I love the Tourmalline and Sterling necklace. Don't know what it is about tourmaline...earthy colors? I actually would gift this gc to another of my girls...I won earrings that I gifted to one daughter, so other daughter wasn't too happy, so she would get this! Always keeping them happy!

  137. Oh, and something I didn't think I could do? Raise six kids to be independant and normal in this society. THey've all done good for themselves...three happily married, two still in college..and one goodlooking single lad looking for the right woman!

  145. I would have to get the Silver Marquis Necklace and then maybe a personalized necklace with kids' names. I've favorited your shop and hopefully I can get something once we have money again for fun purchases after the adoption is done! Thanks for a great giveaway. You have beautiful jewelry!

  152. I am proud that I made a habit of giving to charity--never thought I could spare the funds, but I'm finding I don't miss it that much and I'm helping someone who needs it.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  164. Something great I did that I never thought I could was pass my college speech class with flying colors! Giving speeches is something I despise doing (I even dropped the class the first time I signed up because I was way too scared!), but I decided to get over my fear and hit the course head on! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and I actually ended up having a good time!

  165. Everything is so unbelievably gorgeous that I have no idea which to pick as my favorite! But I would have to say the item I would buy right away with the gift certificate is the Seaside - Sterling Silver and Aqua Chalcedony Necklace. So beautiful and I just love anything that reminds me of the ocean/beach!

  184. I've started working on creating my own business. Never in a million years would I have guessed I'd want to be an entrepreneur . . . but I do! I'm very excited even though it's a lot of work on top of my 9-5. Totally worth it!

  188. I've had a lot of personal triumphs in the last few years - the best story-maker though is of the time I tried to run a marathon, but fractured both of my shins in the process. I still managed to limp out half of the distance (about 13 miles) so I consider that a massive accomplishment!
