We have a Winner!

Woohoo! I started up a Top Commentator contest on my blog this last month...and we have a winner! Congratulations go to...

Theresa of

TiLT Creations

She has won a $10 gift certificate to either of my shops! Theresa is a great friend and I'm very excited to be able to give her this gift! 

I want to say thanks to everyone who left comments on this blog :) I've had plans for changes and improvements and just not been able to get to them. I'm hoping this will be a better week and I'll get to work on some of those though. Thinking positive! 

Now for my geeky moment:

~ Top Commentator had 12 comments (runner up had 10, thanks Eclectic Element!) 

~ 100 comments total for the month.

~ 32 individual commentators.

I look forward to seeing what this next month holds and who the contest winner is! 

A Contest and a Farewell

Thinking Spring Dangle Earrings

Who doesn't love a good contest? I know I do! Well I just wanted to remind you guys that I'm doing a comment contest on this blog! I'll be doing this each month, and whoever has the most comments for the month, will win a prize! The prize will be approximately $10 in value and I have a few different options that I will present the winner with...because I know different people like different things! I will tell you that one of the options is a $10 gift certificate to my jewelry shops! But I have some other ideas in mind too since I know the guys may not be interested in jewerly.

Stats so far (cuz I'm a geek):

~ Top Commentator so far has 6 comments.

~  26 Commentators total.

~ 47 comments total.

I look forward to seeing what the numbers look like at the end of the month!

Now for some sad news - I'll be deleting my entrecard account soon. It's just eating up too much of my time with too few results. My computer loads the blogs pretty slowly, and I really want more time in my day to focus on my jewelry business and to write. 

Having said that - I love reading other blogs! So before I delete my account I'm going to try to make sure I'm following all the blogs I do actually read. Please book mark mine if you enjoy it so you don't miss out on it! 

It's Contest Time!

No, I'm not running a contest, but I DO want to tell you about an awesome contest going on at a blog that I visit all the time!

I love reading her stories :)
