This Giveaway has Ended
Since today IS my 1 year blogiversary, I wanted to do something special-Ever since I started blogging one short year ago, I had grand visions of hitting my 1 year with celebrations and giveaways and tons of fun....
Reality is a tad bit different however.
You know when I realized it was my 1 year? About March 5th. Yeah. I'm afraid that's a pretty short amount of time to put together a grand celebration >.<
Trying to figure out what to do, I went back and forth on if I should hold a giveaway myself or buy something for the blog; I was really brainstorming when I got an email from my friend Ileana asking me to hold a giveaway for her jewelry site.
Talk about perfect timing!! You might remember Ileana of Enchanted Beads from her artist feature (View Here) and her stunningly made bead-woven jewelry! Here are just a few examples of her work:

If I win, I'll get the Delicate Secret - Mother of Pearl Pendant with Pearl Flower. The beadwork is beautiful, but it is too bad that so few of the items would be possible choices for the giveaway without chipping in our own money.
craftyshanna on etsy and gmail.
Where to begin? Congratulations and Bon Anniversaire! And THANK YOU for being somewhere where I was able to find you!
What would I buy FIRST? (after supplementing your generous GC by breaking into my own Piggy Bank) I would SPRING for the :
SeaWorld Collection - Fish Instinct Bracelet - Feb Birth Stone
AND from the
KEEP AND EYE ON HER SERIES:
1. Sea, Sky and Chic Mother of Pearl Bracelet with Blue Flower AND
2. Emerald Flower & Dome Mother of Pearl Necklace
AND
that's just off the top of my head!
Artist Features: Ileana is Amazing! Living in Brooklyn, her stupido overlooks the Verrazano Bridge (inspiring - I know I used to live in NYC too) - prefers to work/create with semi-precious stones and pearls (me too!) and is also a linguist (among other things.) I'm all around dazzled!
