Summer Earrings Giveaway

In Tori Spelling’s book Stori Telling she recounted how being nice paid off. She had a bit part in a movie & had to go to a photo shoot with the other, more famous actresses. She was the last one to be shot & the photographer was tired. He asked her what her demands were. The other actresses had been complaining all day. She just said something like she was happy to be there. They ended up putting her on the cover of the magazine when she just was supposed to have a smaller photograph on the inside. I really don’t believe that nice guys finish last.

Every week I run a contest where a random person gets pretty jewelry, kind of as a reward for all the nice things that they do that never get recognized. The winner can keep the jewelry or give it away to someone else. All you have to do to enter the contest is read the rules & then leave a comment about who you would give this to & why.

The prize this week are painted glass earrings set in sterling silver. I usually try to stick to genuine gemstones, but these just reminded me so much of summer & the beach I couldn’t resist.

The Rules:

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.

Please leave a valid e-mail address, this is how I will contact you if you win. The subject line of the email will say something like
“Random Acts of Bling: You Won” I’ll also announce the winner in a blog post. If I can’t reach you then I might
have to relist your prize.

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.

Turquoise Earrings Contest

This contest is closed but a new one starts on Monday!

It always seem like bad things happen in groups. Last week was that way for me, just a few big problems & some smaller annoying things to deal with. Sometimes, I just need the smallest thing to go right to give me the strength to deal with all the problems. Luckily, this almost always happens to me in the form of friends or family. I started random acts of bling because I know I’m not the only one who feel this way. I give away a piece of jewelry at random every week. The winner can keep the jewelry or give it away to someone else. Hopefully, the random act of kindness will be the small thing that goes right during their week. For your entry in the contest to be valid please read the rules & then comment with who you would give this to & why or a random act of kindness.

The prize this week are turquoise earrings set in a sterling silver antique style.

The Rules:

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.

Free Sterling Necklace Contest

This contest is closed but a new one starts on Monday!

Entering the contest is as simple as reading the rules & then leaving a comment with who you would give the jewelry to & why or a random act of kindness. The winner can keep the jewelry or give it to someone else. I’m a naturally sarcastic person who is trying to find the good in people instead of being pessimistic all the time. There are hundreds of random acts of kindness all around us but it’s just a matter of noticing them among all of the bad.

The prize this week is a sterling silver liquid silver 16″ necklace. It has blue lapis accents & a small shell pendant.

The Rules:

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.
