200th Post Giveaway

My first post of the new year and decade just so happened to be my 200th post on this blog!
Sooooo...I have decided to giveaway another necklace that I made.

Made from coral free form beads and turquoise rondels, this necklace makes a huge impact in both color and shape! The length is 18.25 inches, and the toggle clasp is handmade Bali sterling silver.

It's lovely. I'm still sad that I didn't purchase your large pink pearl necklace when I first saw it on your site.

Hope you're keeping warm!

What a great necklace and I must admit how honored I felt to be able to watch as Emma joined your family;)

In our future we hope to go along the same path, so it was wonderful to see your family's story unfold...

Blessings, Ashley

Congratulations on your 200th post. I followed your story on My Adoption website. I just love to read adoption stories and hope one day to be able to share mine.

Love the necklace too. I am in awe that you made it! Fabulous!

katrina said...

Thanks for the comment! I got a new camera about a year ago. I thought by putting my favorite photos on my blog I would at least show that I used the camera. The Chinese New Year is going to delay our travel. It looks like we are probably going to travel the end of March.
I love your blog. I live in Florida now but I was born in a small town called Trinity NC. I graduated from UNC and began my teaching career in Charlotte. So I always feel a little closer to NC when I read your blog.

What a beautiful necklace!!! I was coming over here to tell you that it is not too late to start the Bible reading. You can start any time or you could do two readings a day for a few days. It really is easy. I know what you mean about lists. If I make lists, I get a lot done but if I don't ...nothing get accomplished.

Oooh Pick me! Pick me! Beautiful craftmanship. We were on a cruise a few years ago and saw quite a few red coral pieces I would have loved to own...But I'm a "thinker shopper" (I gotta think about it for a while) and you don't get a second chance once you leave port

Hope Grace's first day of school went well!
