Hey guys!
Now that I have a billion books, I'll be doing a lot of giveaway contests. I am giving away a copy of Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler. This contest is a special because I had my friend Chatty Cathie make a imitation necklace of the one that Matt wore. It's not exact and it's made from opalite, but it is pretty awesome. Check out the picture below!
She does some real cutesy jewelry. If I were more into jewelry, I'd probably beg her for some.
So, how do you win the necklace and book? Here's the rules:
1. Open to anyone!
2. Please include your email address with your comment.
3. Contest ends Friday, July 24th at midnight CST
4. Please try to put as much into one comment, but it's okay to add more later.
5. How to get points:
Please don't feel obliged to buy anything, but if you fall in love with a piece of jewelry.. well, you get 20 extra entries if you really need to have it and buy it.2. Please include your email address with your comment.

ReplyDelete+2 I'm not sure if this counts as an awesome or amazing summer activity, but I went to Stone Mountain, Georgia on the 4th of July. Stone Mtn. is like the 'Confederate Mt. Rushmore' and I couldn't believe I was there...but it was fun and anachronistic and a real trip.
+2 I follow on Blogger!
+5 I looked on Chatty Cathie's website and my eye was caught by the yellow jade faceted stone earrings with the silver dragonflies. Those would appeal to my color taste and whimsical side.
Thanks!

ReplyDeleteHi Kristen
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much for holding this contest! If there is any two things I LOVE on this earth, its books and jewelry (not in any particular order)
I'm having a giveaway for the same type of thing and I hope you'll join in as well!
Ok... Let's see what I can do all in one post!
+2 for answering the question: What is one awesome/great/interesting thing that you did this summer (or are planning to do)? Since it's been a long time since I had a TWENTY BOY SUMMER (around last year..lol I'm kidding). I'd have to say taking my son away ... just the two of us because he graduated high school. I had to fight cancer for years just to be able to do this! And so far, I'm winning!
