Shining Stones

She's One Crafty Mother.
I read this blog once in a while. Every post actually, even though I don't always comment. OK, fine, I rarely comment, mostly because I'm shy there. Yes. Me.

Anyway, Ellie writes a beautifully honest blog. She writes about her sobriety, her family and how they mesh. I loved reading her post this summer, when she was blissfully off the grid.

So get this - not only does she write beautifully, she also creates gorgeous jewelry. Check the etsy shop here: Shining Stones.

The black raspberry set is Right up my alley for the fall....

And I'd LOVE to get this for my girl fighting cancer - I'd have it say "B+" (be positive).

And major major love for this Hope necklace...

See anything you like? Guess WHAT?!

Ellie is offering one of YOU a gift certificate to her shop. For $35. That could buy the lil black raspberry set, you know. But the good thing is? You can choose whatever you want.

AND? THERE'S MORE!!!

Just for you MommaKiss readers, she's offering a discount on a purchase. You know, if you're not the winner winner chicken dinner. To take advantage of the 15% discount, go to Ellie's shop at www.shiningstones.etsy.com and select your item(s) (you'll need an Etsy account, and if you don't have one it's free and easy to set up - you only need a valid email address). In the message to seller put the following promotional code: GIVEAWAY15, and check "Other" for method of payment. You'll get a message that says to "contact buyer to arrange payment", but Ellie will contact you directly to arrange direct billing of the discounted amout via paypal, check or money order.

How freakin cool is that??!!

No major rules, other than you MUST have an e-mail so that I can let you know if you won or not. Jeesh, how many times can I preach that? Enter as many times as you wish.

Giveaway closes in a week, on Thursday, October 14th - 5pm EST. I'll draw a winner with random.org.

Go forth, browse, shop and WIN!!!!!!

(thanks Ellie for letting me share your goodies with the internetz).
