Lisa Leonard Giveaway!

Photobucket


Lisa Leonard has generously offered to share something pretty with Smile and Wave readers! She's been designing and hand-crafting silver jewelry for years and has most recently teamed up with Ali Edwards and designed the Word of the Year necklace to capture that word that sums up what you want in 2011. Lisa's high quality designs can be customized with names and initials and are a great choice for a meaningful gift.

Lisa would like to give one lucky winner $50 worth of shop credit to Lisa Leonard Designs! To enter to win this giveaway I'd love to hear what you're most hoping for in 2011. Comments will be open until the 20th when a winner will be picked. To ensure that you'll receive your prize please leave a way for me to contact you in your entry as we've had a lot of unclaimed prizes in recent giveaways.

Thanks for your readership and thanks for the great giveaway, Lisa!

xoxo,
Rachel

  32. I love her sweetheart necklace. The word for the year necklace is fabulous. In years past, when I was single and in my twenties, I would have picked reciprocity and validation as my words. But now, on my 5th year of marriage I think I would pick passion as my word.
    I'm hoping that this year will be full of creativity and success for my husband and I. I want him to write many many poems (he's a poet who teaches english at a university) and I want to make many many pretty things and maybe a baby too. I'm hoping this is our lucky year. 11 is my lucky number.

    Wishing you love,

  41. it may sound cliche, but i'm a-gonna say it anyway. the thing i am most hoping for this year is ... love.

    i've had a good long break from it (and all boys) for some old-fashioned healing and i'm ready (again) i'm ready to offer my heart for some man's hands to hold.

    cheesy, a bit unrealistic or head-in-the-clouds romantic, but i can't help it ... the heart wants what it wants, right? ;)

  150. My one little word this year is 'learn' and for me it has taken on a life of its own already. It's amazing what the intention behind a word can have when you say it out loud. My hope for this year then now is to take all those opportunities that I have to learn and take full advantage of everything they can bring to my life and not be so afraid of the things I don't know and doing things that I know will stretch me into a more loving, gracious and better version of me.
