Celebration Giveaway!

I told you I was going to celebrate my 300th sale.
I decided that needed to be a giveaway!
So, I went through all my jewelry items that I've sold in the past year and one stuck out as a "top seller" if you will in all it's different forms.
The Nesting Bracelet.
These little nests with tiny round stones and itty bitty seeds are definitely one of my favorite designs and I've created bracelets, pendants, and necklaces with them and I still never get tired of making them.




You can have your very own version that I'm calling Little Lavender Nests.
It features lavender sodalite rounds, seed beads in spring green, ivory and lavender, and tiny brass birds.

Here's how to enter and I'm definitely giving you a few ways to enter to up your chances of winning!
1. Leave me a comment telling me what your favorite type of jewelry is right now. - 1 entry
2. Share this giveaway  - 1 entry
3. Visit my etsy shop and take a peek at all my tutorials. Come back and tell me which one grabs your attention. - 1 entry

Be sure and leave a separate comment for each of the things that you do to earn an entry!

Oh, and speaking of tutorials...
It's here in my shop and it's also included as one of my Buy 2 Get 3 bracelets.





Oh, and if that isn't enough...
I'm offering a discount coupon code for everyone to my shop!
Type in the code: CELEBRATE300
to receive 15% off your purchase in my shop!
The coupon code will be good until this Sunday, April 3rd and I'll leave the giveaway open until that day as well.
Oh, and if you like something, you should get it now! After Sunday, I'll be taking all my old work out of my shop to make room for new Spring arrivals!

Thanks so much guys for your support and I hope you'll take this opportunity for me to say a little...
Thank You!

    Hi Marcie, Love the Nesting Bracelet. That is one of my favorites made by you. If I don't win I would love a tutorial for it. I created a great big post this morning about your giveaway with lots of easy links. I am into cuffs right now as you will see if you visit my site. I really love the Tila Flor Beadwoven Cuff and Ring Tutorial. I may just have to buy it. Hope for more sales in my shops then I can.

    My favourite tutorial is of course the one that I purchased earlier from you - The Woven Medallion Pendant. I have never done any bead work before so it is going to be a challenge. Well worth it though I hope! I'm into all kinds of jewellery right now, so I am of course spoilt for choice and getting poorer by the day.

    I have SEVERAL favorite pieces of Jewelry but, one that is VERY sentimental to me is a piece my Mother and I worked on. I called it "Clam Surprise". While out to lunch with my Mom and Dad I found a baby crab in a serving of steamed clams I was eating. I kept the crab which I preserved with several layers of clear varnish and then placed it in a tiny bottle with sand that I sealed with a layer of wax. My Mom then beaded the top of the bottle with peyote stitch and strung a necklace of beads and ocean "fetishes" that I picked out.
