Garnet Earrings Winner: I finally have a picture!

Finally, here is a picture of these week’s prize. I told you that the garnet earrings were pretty. To enter the weekly contest you just have to read the rules & leave a comment with who you would give this piece of jewelry to, or if you’re keeping it for yourself, a random act of kindness. You can find the latest contest by clicking the graphic in the sidebar, a new one starts on Monday. The winner was drawn by a random number generator. The winner is Laura, with her comment

A stranger walked up to me in the Walmart parking lot and slipped a $20 bill into my hand and said, “Merry Christmas, The LORD has been very good to me this year and I wanted to bless someone.” That was much needed at the time!!

I’d like to walk up to a stranger like this and hand them this pair of earrings.

I don’t know if this is an urban legend or not. I’ve heard it attributed to several people, so I don’t know if it’s a myth or if a lot of college professors are doing this. The story goes that a class fervently studies for their final college exam. There is only one question on the test “What is the name of the cleaning lady?”.

I’ve been a waitress before, it seemed like no one cared who I was. They didn’t stop to consider I was a human, or not a superhero before they made impossible demands or complaints. During these times, I’d look at a piece of jewelry & remember that I was more than a waitress. So every week I try to pass on this feeling to others by giving away a piece of jewelry. The winner can either keep the jewelry, or pass it on to someone who’s having a bad day or feels unappreciated. To enter, just read the rules & then leave a comment with a random act of kindness, or who you would give this jewelry away to & why. You can even leave a trackback or link to a blog post.

The prize this week are sterling silver genuine garnet stud earrings weighing .95 total carat weight. The picture didn’t seem to be working, I’ll work on it after the holidays, but these are pretty I promise.

The rules:

One entry per person per week.

Please don’t sell the jewelry, it’s to make whoever receives it feel special. Winner will be chosen by a random number generator at 6pm on Friday Mountain Time.

Contestants should be over 18 & live in the lower 48 states because I’ll be paying shipping. If you’ve already won a Random Act of Bling, you can win again, but please give the jewelry away at random.

Comments should be about a random act of kindness or who you would give this jewelry to & why.

If you want to link or stumble this post it would be appreciated but is not required.

Flower Garnet Ring Winner

This week’s Random Act of Bling winner was chosen by a random number generator as always. The winner is Noreen with her comment:

This would be perfect for the lady who work at the sushi place I love. She is always in a bad mood but that week she seemed almost happy. I think this ring would push her over the edge to true happiness, at least for a while.

Check back on Monday for a new contest.
