Giveaway to Announce "I Love it!" Blog Designs

It's been too long since I had a giveaway! :D And I have an especially exciting reason to have one now... because I've started a new website for FREE blog backgrounds, and I want to get the word out!
Announcing... "I Love it!" Blog Designs!
 http://iloveitblogdesigns.blogspot.com

I'm so happy about this new endeavor. I've wanted to design my own blog backgrounds for a very long time now, and could never quite figure it out. Well, I determined the other day that I was finally going to conquer the obstacles in my path and DO it.
So I did! :D

 Oh, yes, the giveaway. Right. Here's the information! :D
I am giving away not one, not two, but FIVE pairs of beautiful earrings, handmade by yours truly. :)
 (Sorry, no, the photography props - i.e. the cute teacups - are not included) ;)

There will be FIVE winners in this giveaway, who win one pair of earrings each.

The earrings include:
  • Pair #1 - Brown Tigereye (a semi-precious stone) with silver
  • Pair #2 - Amethyst (a semi-precious stone) with Swarovski Crystals and silver
  • Pair #3 - Clear lampwork glass beads with frosty centers and Swarovski Crystals
  •  Pair #4 - Aqua glass beads, 3-dangle style
  •  Pair #5 - Red Czech Crystal-cut glass beads with Swarovski Crystals and silver
All the earrings are made with sterling-silver-plated surgical steel French hooks, great for sensitive ears and nickel-free. (Each pair could be changed to clip-ons upon request, but you have to specify it in your entries.)
 Close-ups for your convenience...

(*happy sigh* I am SO glad to have my camera back) ;)
 Allrighty! Now that I've got you drooling over the gorgeous jewelry, here are the rules on how to enter this giveaway:

(Note: You MUST leave a SEPARATE comment for EACH entry. Thank you!)

Mandatory:
  • You must be a follower of Julia's Journal to enter
  • You must start following "I Love it" Blog Designs to enter  
(each of the above counts for an entry)

Optional:
(for one additional entry each...)
  • Add an "I Love it!" Blog Designs background to your blog
  • Visit "I Love it!" Blog Designs, come back to THIS POST, and comment about your favorite blog background
  • Add the "I Love it!" blog button to your blog's sidebar (see below)


ILoveIt

And for
FIVE ADDITIONAL ENTRIES,
  • Post about the new "I Love it!" Blog Designs site on your blog.
(Remember to comment five times, once for each additional entry, if you do this, with a link to the blog post so I can come check it out.)

So if you did everything you could to enter, it adds up to a total of TEN entries. Pretty good chances! :D

This giveaway will run for two weeks and end on Wednesday, September 7th, 2011. Five winners will be randomly drawn and announced shortly afterwards. :)


Happy entering!

    Oh, it's so hard to choose a favorite background, but I really love "Blue Mystery." Very pretty!

    Also, if I end up winning a pair of earrings, they may have to be clip-ons. I've been thinking about getting my ears pierced (again!), so I'd have to think about it. :D
