Free Tanzanite Earrings
12 November 2007Update: This contest is now closed check the link in the sidebar for the newest contest.
Most of us are in a position where luxury for ourselves comes last. I think that every woman should have at least one very special piece of jewelry to remind her that she is a princess. So every week I hold a contest called Random Acts of Bling. To enter just read the rules & then leave a comment/trackback/ or link to a blog post with a random act of kindness, or who you would give this jewelry to & why. You can either keep the jewelry or pass it on & make someone feel special.
The prize this week are 1.20 tcw tanzanite earrings in sterling earrings. The earrings are a three stone design.
The rules:
Contestants should be over 18 & live in the lower 48 states. I’ll pay shipping. One entry per person per week.
If you’ve already won, you can win again, but you must give the second piece away at random.
Please don’t sell the jewelry, it’s to make whomever receives it feel special.
Winner is drawn by a random number generator at 6pm on Friday Mountain Time
The comment should be about who you would give this jewelry to or a random act of kindness.

Hello, First of all, I would love to tell you how wonderful you are for holding these unselfish giveaways! Secondly, the earrings are gorgeous. If I wouldn’t keep them myself, I would take them to a place in our town that collects gift for all ages so almost everyone may have some type of gift. Please enter me in your contest. Thanks much…..Cindi

I would give them to my neighbor, a 72 year old selfless lady. She watched our daughter this morning while I had some surgery, made us dinner, and she is forever doing things, making things, and just looking out for us! She is definately deserving!

I would love to give these to my mom

If I were to win these earrings, I would give them to my coworker and friend, Cookie. She is teaching first grade for the first time this year, and she is working SO hard! She has a few students who are challenging, but she is totally rising to the occasion and handling them like a pro. In addition, she is my son’s teacher (and no, he isn’t one of the challenges!) and he adores her, and the feeling is mutual. I would give them to her to show her what a great job she is doing, and to thank her for the fantastic job she is doing with my son.

I would give it to my friend Misty who has started a local mommies group and also organized meals for my family after I had my youngest LO.

I would give these to my mom whom is about to get her Masters after many years of school. She could use some very pretty earrings

These are absolutely gorgeous- they would go to my mom who is going with us to Korea as we bring home our first son. Im so glad that I can experience this with her.

These would be perfect for my Aunt Betty who is the most selfless person I know. She would give someone her last dime before see them unhappy (almost to a fault). She has been soo good to me lately and is always there to babysit on a moments notice no matter what the reason (even if its just for me to take a walk because I have a headache)
It would make me SOo happy to give these to her.
I’ll add you to my contest blog as well tonight

Since my mother and me do not have pierced ears, these would definitely go to my sister, who pierced hers at 16 when she finally got permission.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I would love to give these to my sister. She’s like “Super Mom”! I’m amazed at what she can accomplish in any given day with 3 kids…and still maintain a SPOTLESS house! I have just one kid and sometimes I struggle to get everything done…or maybe I just spend too much time online!
Any which way, these are lovely earrings and I would be happy to win them. Thank you for such a great giveaway!

I would definitely give this to my good girlfriend, Marge. She’s had a hard life so far- been a victim of domestic violence, had her kneecaps and other assorted body parts shattered- now after getting mammograms yearly, checkups too, she’s been told she has a fast growing breast cancer. She’s facing a lumpectomy or possible removal of her breast. This would definitely pick her up! Thanks for being so generous.

They are so beautiful that it would be hard to not keep them for myself! But I am luckily blessed with a whole bunch of beautiful women in my life to whom I could give these earrings. My sister is currently five months pregnant with her first baby and still throwing up every day. I am sure these could be a pick-me-up for her. My mother is fabulous (though I’m not sure how much she would wear them). I have a step-grandmother who has been the greatest God-send to my grandfather… in fact, I think that she is who I would send these earrings to if I won. I am sure it would make her day (possibly even her month) and would really touch my grandfather too.

My favorite random act of kindness is to notice a need someone has, either financially or a food need, then meet it anonymously. I don’t tell a soul!

A small act of kindness that happened yesterday: One of my friends is a first year teacher and is constantly tired from lesson plans, meetings, misbehaving children, grading, etc. She had a ton of grading she was behind in and another friend who had the day off spent it helping her grade papers.
on November 13th, 2007 at 1:05 pm
Those are beautiful. I’d give them to my daughter. She’s allergic to cheap metal and really wants some nice jewelry she can wear (she doesn’t have any).
on November 13th, 2007 at 3:21 pm
I’d give these to my mom. She loves her earrings.
on November 13th, 2007 at 7:11 pm
In this time of giving thanks, I would give these earrings to a special nurse who is caring for our premature grandbaby.

I would give these to my friend Casey. Casey is an endless source of support for me throughout any and all of my hard times. Even when it’s something silly and I need to vent, she’s there for me. Casey does not spoil herself at all. She has a daughter named Dani, and she she devotes herself to being a wonderful Mommy. She has such a hectic schedule, that in order to keep her daughter, Dani, out of day care, she works opposite shifts of her husband - so they hardly see each other at all. She is an amazing woman and she deserves a gift all to herself as a token of appreciation for being so wonderful.

I saw a very tired women give up her seat on the bus for a mom.

My mom loves tanzanite & hasn’t had any new jewelry in a long time because of medical bills. Would love to give to her

Just today I gave away a book that my sister illustrated. If I won, I might give these to her.
on November 14th, 2007 at 12:10 pm
Along the same lines of what Jessica said above, these would definitely go to my friend Casey. I only know her from an online source but she doesn’t feel at all to me like just another internet buddy. She’s so much more than that. I get to talk to her about all sorts of things, we have so much in common, and yet she is worlds different. Her dedication to her family is something to be admired, and the poor girl seems to always be putting her needs behind those of others. Treating her with a gift of a princess would be nice.
on November 14th, 2007 at 1:34 pm
I’d give these to my mom. She loves jewelry and I like to make her feel happy.

These gorgeous earrings would go to my co-worker, Rebecca. She has a passion for budgeting and for helping women acheive self-sufficiency, and has recently assisted me in forming a plan to do just that. I’m a divorced mom of a nine year old boy, and my money woes have been eating me alive. I finally revealed a few things to her, she asked some great questions, and now literaly picked up a pencil to show me how to manage my money. She has shown me the light at the end of the tunnel and is going to help to make certain that I make it!! I also owe her the debt of bling - i - tude for getting me to this web-site in the first place.
The earrings are dazzling, but would be in direct competition with Rebecca’s shining generous spirit. Let’s put them together and watch the show!! (Plus, frugal as she is, she would NEVER buy these for herself!)

I would give these to my new roommate, her old one flat out told her that she was a worthless human being before kicking her out. I think it would give her the little uplift she needs.
on November 15th, 2007 at 4:35 pm
I would absolutly positivly give these to my mother in law if I won. She and my father in law have done so much for my husband and I our entire marriage. With Christmas coming up and my husband and I doing our ‘budget’ for gift giving, we realized that we had even less to spend for everyone. I was wanting more than anything to be able to get her something nice for all that she has done and to say thank you. So God willing that I be the winner, that is definatly who I would give the earrings to.
ps. you are so awesome for doing this.

I’d give them to my mom, who looks beautiful in blue.
on November 16th, 2007 at 9:58 am
I would love to give these to my mom. She loves Tanzanite jewelry. She always gives of herself to anyone in need. For 10 years she cared for my father at home. He had a brain tumor and a spinal cord injury. Many blessings to her.

I realize I’m out of your mailing requirements but I just want to commend you for doing this. It took me by absolute surprise when I came upon your website. May the real beauty of Life always be with you in your heart!
My family grew up struggling to make ends meet and only now at an older age does hind sight let me know it’s not money that brings happiness and feeling “visible.” It’s that positive spontaneous comment, a dedicated gesture of love(not unlike yours), and giving someone who is down a bit of your love in any way you can.
It’s not about how much money you have but what you do with it that can enhance your life and those of others around you.

I’m a nurse by occupation - as well as a mom, wife, volunteer, sister, daughter, friend… It’s so easy to put ourselves last and begin to suffer from caregiver burnout (especially in the profession I’ve chosen - caring for others in great need often leads to me neglecting self.. not getting enough sleep, eating junk food, etc). I’d love to win this special “me treat”! Thanks for the contest.
