Sterling Dragonfly Brooch Contest

Update:  This contest is closed but a new one starts tommorrow

I’m lucky enough to have a wonderful group of family and friends who are always there whenever I need a laugh or encouragement. I realize that this isn’t always the case for everyone else but it should be. This is one of the reasons why I give away jewelry at random every week as a means of encouragement. Plus, if you ever read through the comments and see how many people would give the jewelry to someone else it’s very heart warming. The winner can keep it or give it to someone else. To enter the contest just read the rules and leave a comment with who you would give this to and why or a random act of kindness.

The prize this week is a sterling silver dragonfly brooch.

The Rules:

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