Becoming a Pearl & A Giveaway!

I'm so excited about this fun giveaway! Lisa generously contacted me about giving away one of her lovely creations here and I'm thrilled to host the fun!

First of all, let me show you my piece:

I love this because it is simple, inspiring and meaningful! I chose to get a charm with each family member's name on it: David, Emily, Rachel and Samuel.

I also love that it has a pearl charm because this is what I want to be like - a pearl. Being shaped and molded into something valuable and beautiful. To be looking toward Heaven where pearls will adorn the gates and being reminded of seeking Heaven as in seeking a pearl of great price.

I want this to remind me of the influence I can have for His glory in my own home and family and to inspire me to be devoted in allowing Him to shape me as a pearl is shaped.
Matthew 13:45-46, "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it."
Now, for the fun part! Please hop on over to Lisa's site and browse her beautiful creations. I think you will really enjoy seeing what she has to offer. Let us know what your favorite piece is by leaving a comment here and you will be entered into a drawing to win that piece!

Comments will be accepted until midnight (EST) Tuesday and we'll be giving away one piece (up to $54 in value) on Wednesday! I look forward to seeing your favorites!

I love all of her pieces! If I had to choose one today, thought, I would actually choose the tag key chain. I would love to have this with my husband's and my name on it. Thanks for doing a great give away like this! Blessings to you!

I love "the new bloom necklace" Find joy would be a great second choice. Beautifully made!

There isn't a single thing on there that I wouldn't love! Lovebird is adorable, I adore the Sparkle necklace. But to pick one, I'd have to go with the teenie tiny initials necklace. I hope one day to own one of her beautiful pieces.

Megan D. Crow said...

Great giveaway! Thanks!

I like the "Monogram" necklace :)

Debbie said...

What gorgeous pieces of jewelry.

I loved the sweet simple bird necklace. The designs or so delicate and beautiful.

Thanks for hosting the giveaway.

Christie said...

I really like the Bloom necklace... all of Lisa's stuff is Gorgeous though!

Vintagesquirrel said...

So many sweet designs make for a difficult decision. I would choose the Teeny Tiny Initials necklace and think it would look great with my sons' initials. Thanks for offering such a lovely giveaway.

Tonia Hobbs said...

Faith. Hope. Love has my vote. Really lovely stuff. Thanks!

Oops! Forgot to say my favorite! I like the tree or the one with the wedding date. The pearl is something special for us too because the first thing my husband gave me was a pearl necklace when we were just friends which totally turned the tide.:)

Thanks!

I love the petite circle necklace, I would love wearing my daughter's name on it- it is just so delicate and the pearl just sets it off beautifully & not to mention it is my birthstone too :)

Catherine said...

I adore the "Sweet Simple Bird", though the ones that include family names and initials are all very precious, too. What beautiful little works of art they all are! THanks for hosting this giveaway!

snippity1 said...

know a gal that has one of lisa's pieces. An it looks wonderful in person. I like the teeny hearts piece the most.

Our Flock of Sheep said...

I like the teenie tiny initials necklace. simple and sweet. Amy

Anonymous said...

Oh, how hard to pick a favorite! I think I'd have to choose the riveted flower.

There is one that I also liked that said that if a name was more than 6 letters long, it would go up a second side... my daughter's name is Rebecca, and she often writes the REBE part on the line and the CCA part going up the paper at a right angle. She is doing it less and less, though... so big at 5 years old, outgrowing those "little kid" things! *sniff*

Anyway, what a nice giveaway! Thanks for doing it! :)

Stephanie said...

I love the Open Circle. I would love to put my favorite scripture on it.

Lisa said...

How do you choose 1 thing!? I like the wish necklace and love the stackable rings! Thanks for the chance!!
Lisa

Tracy said...

I love the original. Today we accepted the referral for a little girl, our second adoption. I would love their two sweet names near my heart.

I love what you said about the pearl also. Isn't God amazing!

ko said...

I like the True Love Hearts. This week my husband and I celebrate 16 years of marriage. Even with 8 young children, we still try to sneak away each year for our anniversary.
God Bless,

Arielle said...

It was tough to choose, but I will go with the Family Tree except I plan to put-Grace Hope Faith Love Obey on it instead of names.
It would remind me of my heavenly family-His love and my response. :0)

Deb said...

I love the family tree design. That would be my first pick. What a lovely give-a-way.

Tammy said...

I love the oval monogram. So unique! Lisa is an amazing woman and I would be honored to wear one of her pieces! Thanks, Monica!

elizabeth said...

I love Lisa's site and someday it will work out for me to order a piece for myself. :)

In the meantime, I would say that "Find Joy" is my favorite as it is a saying that I use for my daughter all the time. She is 23 and I would gift it to her.

Anonymous said...

My favorite is the "itty bitty hearts" with the initials M,D,C,B for my hubs, me, and our 2 boys!!!

I've peeked at Lisa Leonard's designs before I really like them all but if I were to win, I'd choose the breast cancer awareness "Hope" for my friend Kim who was recently diagnosed.

Thanks for sharing this with your world. I too, really like the tiny squares necklace as an add-on "family keepsake". We have six boys their ages ranging from almost 19 on down to 4yr old twins with Baby due in January '09. So this is something to accomodate the expanding family.

Anonymous said...

My favorite is the itty bitty hearts neckalce!! Oooo, I just love it! I've been looking for a unique piece of "mommy" jewelry that can display all my children (I've been blessed with 6) and I think this is just such a lovely design and so different from the typical baby shoes or little boy/girl figures on a chain. Thank you for introducing us to this wonderful mommy/artist!!

Monica,

Would you be willing to link to my "Lisa" giveaway in your post announcing the winner? I know she'd love the extra publicity! (but no pressure)

For another chance to win something from a talented artist, etc.
