One World One Heart, Give-a-way


I thought this was a great idea; and decided to participate in ONE World One Heart. This is the second year it has been hosted by Lisa Oceandreamer of Heart of the Nest and Imagination Cafe.



Since I’m a “beader”, I’ve decided to give-a-way a necklace; and this is one of my favorite designs. I don’t sell what I make; I either wear them or give them as gifts.


This is the design I’ve “gifted” most. It’s a jade heart with pearls, sterling silver and suede. If you want to be the recipient, just leave a comment on this post, by February 13th. The winner will be announced on Valentines Day. There's a bonus, since I have a small number of readers I made 3 identical necklaces, and I'll give them all away on the 14th.


P.S. I have a different give-a-way running, thru February 7th. This give-a-way has been awarded.

Oh my goodness, those are just so lovely. You absolutely could make money selling them.

And would you please add me to the drawing? Thank you so much!

sandee said...

This is a great idea! However, I just moved across country and have most of my stuff in storage. What I would like to do, is go into as many of the blogs as I can and sign in. If my name gets pulled by anyone as a winner, I will donate $100 to AIDS Foundation in memory of my brother. If my name gets selected more than once, I will up the ante an additional $10 every time it gets pulled (greedy I know, but one can dream!!!) If my name is not pulled by anyone, I will still make a $50 donation. This way, everyone is a winner.

Pam Aries said...
