The new linking tool I used last week was totally fun and seemed to be a hit, so I will continue using it until I get sick of it! Lets get started, shall we?
Here are just a few of my favorite items:
Flower on a Stick ($41.00)
Happiness Necklace ($38.00)
Mini Monogram Necklace ($28.00)
When choosing which piece of jewelry I wanted for myself, I literally spent 2 HOURS on etsy going back and forth until I finally decided on this lovely little pretty:
(except I am not a huge cross wearer, so I just ordered the pearl and the circle charm)
Here it is on me:
Do you love it?!
I cannot tell you how much I love this!!! My “motto” for the year 2010 is to try to count my blessings everyday and to remember whats really important in life- my husband, my kids, our health, our faith. Having this on is one constant reminder at just how blessed I really am! I just love how something so dainty and simple can be the reminder I often times need!
Madison Reece makes their charms from Precious Metal Clay- they are meant to look very rustic and far from perfect. They have fine lines or marks in them that add character and make them unique.
Precious metal clay (PMC) is a revolutionary material that has tiny particles of silver or gold suspended in an organic binder to make a material that can be sculpted like clay. It is then kiln fired at a high temperature to remove the binder and produces an object that is pure silver (.999)
Entering this contest is easy!
Simply take a look at Madison Reece Designs on etsy and then come back here and tell me how you would spend that $50

LOVE it all!! But my favs are probably "on the vine" and "as I wait"……or anything with my kiddos names
This is a fun McLinky form, makes it so much easier to recognize which projects I have visited before and which are new to me.
So I am of now, to go visit some fellow uplinkers.

What a beautiful assortment to choose from! I love the family jewels necklace – with out birthstones. And even if I don't win, want it for mothers day!

I think I would choose the "I choose happiness" necklace. That's something I need to remind myself to do everyday and I think it's beautiful that she thought of this saying in terms of a subtle reminder…
I became a fan on facebook!!! Thanks!
I love the "I choose happiness" necklace. I love her stuff!

Oh, my word I am in LOOOOVE with Madison Reece. I think I have blogged about it twise now. Just not quite validating being able to buy myself something right now. Oh, I hope I win. I hope I hope I hope!!!! I would get the "I choose happiness" necklace. I have been in love with it for weeks. Okay, more like a couple months. It is my theme for the year. And then I would go pick something out for my Mom for her birthday or mothers days and pay the difference. Here is me hoping I win!

I really like the rustic silver orchid bloom bracelet, very cute shop!
and now following on somewhat simple on twitter,
so many beautiful things! I like the one with the saying " I am important in the life of a child"…to give to my sister.
have a great week all =)
I love the cherry blossom monogram– and it already has my initial on it!
BTW I love the thumbnails to your party– makes remembering what link I have already selected so much easier.
Probably the monogram bracelet would be my choice. It is hard to decide and I can see "why" it took you 2 hours.
I would have to go with the "blessed beyond measure" necklace. Love it!!!
I'm a fan of Somewhat Simple on facebook.
I love the circular 'Waiting' Pendant. It reminds me of the verse from Psalm that says "Be still and know that I am God" What a great reminder, as the little bird is just resting waiting to fly when the time is right!
Love the Cherry Blossom pendant- lovely!
I'm a facebook fan!
Oh I'm having so much trouble choosing just one! I love the lotus flower necklace, but I think the "It's not the destination…" makes first on my list. Gorgeous!
I'm now a Facebook fan!
And I have linked to you in my side bar (with picture)!
I love this jewelry. Can I win please? I like the sunny day flower and flower on a stick. Cute! jlkeller3@verizon.net
Hi from N Ireland.
First time joining in, and I have linked up
Love the personalized jewelery.
Gorgeous jewelry. I would have trouble deciding what to spend $50 on…I'd probably spend more! I really like the necklaces with the birds on them, the rustic earrings and I'm a sucker for personalized things…so the initials or family names would be something I'd love!
I'm your newest follower and not so much because of the giveaway, although I'd love to win, but I love your blog! I just found it via another blog. Visit me sometime to! Smiles!
Love the "Circle of Love" Pendant!
I'd have to get the little initials with the birthstone crystals. Great stuff.
I'm a fan on facebook!
I would pick up the "Mother" necklace as a gift to my mother-in-law for mother's day! She would just love it!!!
Love the Rustic silver collection necklace. So many wonderful choices!
The orchid bloom bracelet is so fun!
It's my first time joining your party. Thank you so much for hosting!
Have a beautiful weekend!

How do you choose? Her work is amazing. I did choose the "destination."

Love the new linky tool…
I love the blessed beyond measure necklace that you ordered! I would keep the cross on it and have the piece serve as a little reminder to myself during the day.
Oh my – as long as I'm not held to this, because it would take me some time to decide, I am in love with the "wrapped with love" and "family branches" pieces. WOW! I've heard of that clay and wish I was talented enough to do that. Gorgeous! Thanks for the entry and for the link party. Many blessings!
Like you, not a huge fan of crosses but I am truly BLESSED and would pick the same as you.
Everything is so cute! I really like the "i choose happiness" one though.
I love it all! Such a hard chose! But I think I would choose either an Intial for each of my children on one necklace for me, or the same necklace that you have. I love it!
Thanks for the chance to win!
