Free turquoise beads
19 May 2008
Update: This contest is now closed, thanks to all who entered! A new contest will start on Monday.Random Acts of Bling in a nutshell is where I give away a piece of jewelry at random that will hopefully remind someone that they are special. The winner can either keep the jewelry or give it away. To enter the contest just read the rules & then leave a comment with who you would give this to or why, or a random act of kindness.
The prize this week is a little different. I picked up this 16″ strand of turquoise beads thinking that I’d string them into bracelets & they would be magnificent. Then I had visions of said bracelets breaking & the beautiful turquoise beads scattering all over the room & then people would trip on the beads & disaster would ensue all because I can’t tie a decent knot. It would make a pretty necklace as well. So, if you think you can do something with these leave a comment & let me know.
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. I won’t sell or abuse your mailing address. If you’ve already won a Random Act of Bling, you can win again, but please give the jewelry away at random.
If you want to link or stumble this post it would be appreciated but is not required.
Comment/trackback/link should be about a random act of kindness or who you would give this jewelry to & why.

Happy Monday! My oldest son’s girlfriend is graduating from high school in one week. Her party isn’t until July, but that isn’t why I want to give her the bead necklace. Her and I have formed an emotional bond and a very close friendship. I want to take her out to lunch and it would be fun to surprise her with the turquoise beads. She would adore them.
Many thanks,Cindi

I just stumbled upon this website and assumed it was a scam at first. I’m amazed at what you do and I commend you for it. I checked your About Me and it really doesn’t reveal much. Where do you get all this jewelry and why do you give it away?

This would make my day to win the beads. I don’t get out much with three small children but when I do I love to dress up even if its just to a church function.

My adopted daughter is American Indian. I always associated turquoise as a traditional stone of our Native American Indians. Yes,it’s beautiful blue color would contrast well with the gorgeous color of her skin.
