:: sponsor welcome ::

Please welcome my newest sponsor... Lisa Leonard Designs.
lisaleonard

Lisa Leonard Designs is "handmade jewelry that is meaningful, unique and perfect for everyday. Each piece is hand-cut, hammered, antiqued and polished sterling silver." Timeless simplicity is another way to describe the beauty in Lisa's designs. You can choose from an assortment of "custom necklaces" to suit your heart's desire or from the "inspired designs", which are just as beautiful. Don't forget Christmas is around the corner, so you can even send a link to those who need hints of what you want (*wink*). Also, check out Lisa's blog and you will see how inspiring Lisa is as a mother and artist, which makes sense why her pieces are just inspiring as well.

For Cakies readers, Lisa Leonard Designs is giving away 2-$50 gift certificates to 2 lucky readers. Can it get any more wonderful than that?!! Now you can snag a gift for yourself, cause you know we always like to treat ourselves once in awhile, or snag up something for someone else. All you need to do is leave a comment with the following information:

1. Your favorite Lisa Leonard piece.
2. Your favorite color (random, I know, but I just realized that I don't really have one).

The giveaway will end at 8am PST on Wednesday, November 18th and don't forget to come back Thursday to this particular post as this is where the winner will be announced. Good luck!!! Thank you so much Lisa Leonard!!!

Christina said...

The sweet family crest is so nice! I think my color would be the color of aqua clear water. I could stare at it all day (the water that it) but I love all bold jewel tones. Thanks for the givaway!

Holly said...

I am OBSESSED with the sweetheart tree necklace....and my favorite color is probably aqua or robins egg blue. i just never get tired of it! thank you for having this giveaway opportunity.

kissaway said...

<3

Violet Bella said...

that is a very hard choice,

i cant decide between the 'sweetheart tree necklace', the sterling custom ring, or the custom 'single tag' necklace...

and my favorite color is either avocado green or butterscotch yellow at the moment, i guess im in the autumn mood right now.

it changes with the wind!

Lazy Apples said...

I really like the be still necklace. My favorite color is blue...any shade of it. But catch me later and that could change.

Ashley said...

I love the sweet & simple birdie necklace! I don't really have a favorite color either. I'm really loving turquoise right now, though!

jack, lucy and finn said...

i love the 'be still' necklace, although i also really love the idea of a necklace with all your kids' names on it. so precious, all of it. favorite color? that's hard... i am probably most drawn to certain shades of green. colors are hard... there are so many and so many shades. i will try to be more like a kid and confidently state, "green. green is my favorite (and my best)."

Moira said...

hello! a tough choice, but i love the "be still" necklace and the color LAVENDER!!

Tenaya Amelia said...

Exciting~ I love Lisa Leonard designs... :-)

1. My favorite piece is the mini family crest necklace:
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/petite-family-crest.html

Thanks!

Stephanie &amp; Nikki said...

I love the My Heart necklace. My favorite color is red, like garnets and pomegranates and race cars.

merideth said...

i love your blog... so cute.

i love the jumble of charms necklace ( i have the teeny tiny initials necklace that i adore).

and my favorite color is gray. i cannot get enough of this color.

Kami said...

It's a tie - I love both the "jumble of charms" and the "dewdrops" necklace. Colour? Mmmm, that's tough, it depends on what we are talking about (furniture, clothing, etc), but I am partial to blue in general.

wuvweesa said...

I love the teenie tiny initials necklace, I've had it on my wish list for months! My favorite color is blue.

Sara said...

I love the Mama necklace...because Molly says "thank you mama" all the time.
I love yellow, but not to wear.
I love blue the best :)
(and sometimes orange).

But together, I love pink & brown.

Katherine said...

I love the jumble of charms necklace. I'd love to have one to represent my family.

Mique (as in Mickey) said...

I've always been a LL fan but seriously dying over some of her new stuff!! I love the fly free necklace, the family crest, mama necklace & any of her bracelets- hope I don't get disqualified for picking more than one...I just love too many.
Favorite color=red, always has ben, always will be.
Happy weekend!

eryn said...

oh the sweetheart tree definately! my sweetie would think it was so cute on me :)

and.....so typical girly, but pink!

Celeste said...

The sweet little birdie one is so very...well, *sweet.*

And after years of my favorite color being blue, I decided last year that it had really switched to green. It's kind of a strange feeling to realize you have a new favorite color.

Barki's said...

I love the Be Still Necklace!

My favorite color is orange!

Aby Runyan said...

The sweetheart tree is definitely my favorite.

And red is my fav color!

luvs, aby

Ingrid said...

oh my. this is a difficult choice! so many pretty things!

i suppose that i would choose the 'fly free' necklace ~ it would serve as a gentle, constant reminder to give my dreams wings and let them soar.

as for my favourite colour ~ it seems to be in a constant state of change. today, i like robin's egg blue for its serenity, its gentleness, its grace.

Meghan Hein said...

Mine is the "sweet & simple birdie necklace," but When the time comes I think I'd love the "mama neckalace" too. :)

Favorite Color: Blue.

I love Lisa's stuff it's beautiful!

PS Your baby shower for cakies #3 was so precious. Lots of inspiration for me planning for my very first little niece. The storybook theme is absolutely adorable!

Susan said...

I love her jewelry! I have seen it in a couple of other places now, too. How exciting to have her as a sponsor!

I adore the sweetheart tree stump. I absolutely NEED it for my 10th wedding anniversary this March.

As my son used to say, "My favorite color is rainbow." On any given day my favorite color changes. I would say that I adore yellow and that Tiffany blue color the most at this present moment, but blues, greens, pinks, grays, etc... I cannot leave them out. They all make me happy!

Susan
