Check out THIS post for all of the fun ways to wear it and go HERE to learn how I made it.

So here are the rules and it’s going to be pretty easy no extra points for flattery or following (but I would never turn the love down ha ha).

All you have to do is leave a comment here telling me what is your favorite book that kept you up at night and had you burning through the pages? I love to read and am always looking for a little inspiration. If you aren’t into books that’s ok tell me your favorite places to frequent on the web and that will work too.

This contest is open to all US and Canada residents (only because shipping anywhere else might break the bank) and it will run though Thursday the 18th at midnight. The winner will be chosen at random!!

Did I leave anything out? I am knew to the giveaway scene so feel free to let me know if I have forgotten anything. And good luck!

  6. Hey its Cheri from Its So Very Cheri

    Your necklace is gorgeous. Seeing you are from Montana gave me chills thinking of all the cold weather the Northern States have received this year--I am in Florida.

    Thank you so much for your sweet comments. I love to re-create things. If someone tells me I can't do it, then I have to figure out a way to do it. I wake up in the middle of the night and an idea will pop into my head and I can't go back to sleep till I have figured out how to create the item.

    I signed up to follow you and I would love to have you come over and follow me as well.

    Cheri

  7. I love the necklace! I saw your giveaway from Jen over at Should be Cleaning!

    Right now I can not put down the book Cure for The Common Life by Max Lucado!

    It is all inspiring to me. I am( now) a single mom trying to find my way in this New Life..

    Have you read any Max Lucado books?

  8. Hunger Games pretty much had me on the edge of my seat through the whole book, and I usually don't get into books of that genre.

  9. My fave book lately was the Time Traveler's Wife... btw I've left an award for you on my blog :)

  10. The book that kept me up the most as a child was C.S. Lewis The Chronicles of Narnia... But my absolute favorite book is The Mysts of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley!

    Cute necklace!

  11. Very pretty necklace!
    The last book that kept me up was Nicholas Spark's "The Lucky One". It's about an Iraq vet. I know several so it was especially entertaining for me.

    Happy Sits Saturday!

  12. So happy to read your comments! I'm always up for new material!

    The last book to keep me up at night was The Lovely Bones. I also agree with MommyLovesStilettos that Skinny Bitch was another great read!

    As for websites I'm one of those celebrity junkies so mine are mainly TMZ.com and Radaronline.com

  14. I LOVE anything by Karen Kingsbury. She is an amazing Author. Her Tuesday morning series is my absolute favorite, but I love anything she writes.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Oh it does look like a sweet necklace! But I'm in the UK and shipping anything to me would break your bank. :)
    But! To play fair, I am currently reading Stephen King's After Sunset book - a collection of short stories which I am loving!
    Thanks for visiting me on my SITS day SITSah! All the love was fabulous, I was very grateful :)

  18. Hi! Stopping by from SITS. What a beautiful necklace! I'm a reader too, I love love Margret Atwood! A Handmaids Tale kept me up all night long. Any anything by Laurel K. Hamilton...she's racy!

  19. My most recent read which I couldn't put down was The Lovely Bones. Although a somewhat disturbing plot it was a great read! Loved it, love your blog, and love that necklace!

  20. the necklace is beautiful! i just finished the book singular intimacies by danielle ofri, which i really enjoyed. it's about her time as a resident in bellevue hospital (NYC). hunger games was a recent page turner, though i don't usually enjoy fantasy books. for something totally different from either of those two, read gifts of a medicine horse. :-)

  21. “Better than My Dreams ~ Finding what you long for where you might not think to look.”


    It has encouraged me and changed my perspective on alot of things. Instead of trying to make my own dreams come true I’ve started to ask God what His dreams are for me~ and I’m realizing that I’ve already been living those out and there is so much more to look forward to!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Not exactly my fave, to be honest. But the last books I read through and couldn't put down was probably the Twilight series books. Love the necklace!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Someone just told me about Jodi Picoult. If you haven't read her yet, get off your butt and get her book. I just finished The Pact and Plain Truth. I promise once you pick up one of her books you won't be able to put it down.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'm reading Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult right now - it's amazing!!! and I always can burn threw the Somthing Borrowed/Something Blue series by Emily Giffin any night!!

    ReplyDelete
  25. wow, you're so talented! I can't believe you made that, it's so cute!
    Well, I AM following you now, even though you didn't ask me to :)
    And I'm sure you've read the twilight series, those are the only books that kept me up at night. I'm currently reading, Magnificent Mind At Any Age (the one I mentioned on my last post), and my sis in law said that Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead is a REALLY good book. She got it for me but I haven't read it yet.

    To play along, I too got sucked into the Twilight series! But, the latest book to keep me up was Best Friends Forever by Jennifer Weiner. She is my favorite author and is great at writing REAL women!

    I plan on linking to you on my blog...I hope that is OK!

    However, I am reading the Chronicles of Narnia to my kids, and that keeps *them* up late! ;)

  47. Your necklace is beautiful, thanks for the opportunity to win it! I loved My Sister's Keeper...& if you have already seen the movie, no worries, they changed the ending.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Love the necklace! My favorite book that I go back to is "A Year of Living Biblically" It is about an Agnostic who decides to follow the Bible to the LETTER for a year. It is SO interesting!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Aww, thats an awesome necklace, your'e so talented!

    and, to be fair, i'll play along! I love biographys, Courtney Loves is great, crazy, but great! and any Jodi Picoult book is rad, I read "a Change of Heart" on my plane rides in America - it was almost good enough to have me wanting to get on a plane just to read it! (thats saying a lot after 37 hours of travel!)

  52. I am totally impressed - that necklace rocks!

    My favorite books are Falcon and the Snowman (old) and The Glass Castle..I also loved the book Time and Again by Jack Finney...I thought I would hate it (it was a book club book) but LOVED it.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Wow! Love the idea of commenting about good books. I'm always looking for something good to read as well. I LOVE the necklace and LOVE that YOU made it. If I don't win your giveaway you know when my Birthday is (hint hint!)

    The last book I read was The Lovely Bones. The book was good but I was not impressed with the movie.

    Before that, I read A Thousand Splendid Suns and The Kite Runner both by Khaled Hosseini. They are both really good and definitely page turners.

    Happy Reading!
