I Heart You

The giveaway is now closed. Thank you for all of your comments!

First, I wanted to thank all of you for the sweet comments about my mom's birthday. We had a lovely time and she mentioned how sweet all of your comments were.

When I started Adventures in Love & Happiness I was feeling a little lonely, I wanted an outlet for some creativity and I was looking for a community. Two hundred and twenty two days later I look forward to sharing our life with you every day. I love the community that I am a part of and I feel so incredibly blessed to have over 100 followers.
I remember when I got my first follower, I'm pretty sure I screamed, did a happy dance around the living room and texted Jus. Now there are over 100 of you and that is really freaking awesome.
To celebrate this occasion the wonderful Brandy from Forevermore Creations has offered one of her gorgeous pieces for one of my gorgeous readers!

If Forevermore Creations isn't on your radar yet check it out. Brandy mixes mod, vintage, traditional, custom, and many other styles to hand make jewellery that is a little eclectic and a lot adorable.

Brandy offered me the opportunity to choose which piece to giveaway but I couldn't, all of her pieces are as beautiful and unique as all of you are and it is such a tough decision for me!

So here's the skinny on how to enter this little giveaway:

1. Be a follower (new or old I love you all!)
2. Check out Brandy's shop, Forevermore Creations, and report back with which $20 or less item you would like to add to your wardrobe
3. Smile at a stranger today

Want an extra entry (or two)?
Tweet or Blog about this giveaway or the Brown Paper Packages gift exchange

You have until March 31 to sign up for the giveaway!

PS You still have plenty of time to sign up for the Brown Paper Packages gift exchange so if you haven't what are you waiting for?

PPS Happy Weekend, Darlings!

OMG! I am in love with all the rose rings and I can't decide which color I like best. I am also fond of absolutely everything with a cute little owl and also the dandollion ring. Hmmm. Choices. I can see why you had a tough time choosing!

Her jewelry is amazing! I am in love with all of it, but really love the Tranquil Flight necklace. Gorgeous!

Her jewelry is stunning. I think the Bird and Branch -- A Mod Sparrow Lariat Necklace in Silver is my favorite! Hope you're having a great day.

She does have a lot of really cute stuff but I LOVE the In Bloom Ring -- Design Your Own Chrysanthemum Filigree Ring. Color: Mixed Blue on a dark antiqued brass setting. So Happy you reached 100, I know how big that is for you :)

Oh my gosh it's so hard to pick just one item i want! I think it would have to be Leafy Branches, though. It's so beautiful!

I am a follower :-)

I love the branch necklace in silver!

Silver Lining cloud earrings! They are kawaii and would look good with my cloud necklace, cloud dress or cloud cardigan (but probably not all at once, for fear of appearing "costumey").

I smiled at an orderly at work today who commented, "Hello Happy! It is good to be happy." (By the way, I only just read this post and the earlier smiling was coincidental. That is lucky because it is 11.59pm here and there is no one to smile at unless I go smile in a mirror.) Anyway, the reason I was smiling was because I'd just seen one of my patients being wheeled away from the ward to the hospital exit because she was better and was going home!

Oops, I forgot to say congratulations on your Follower milestone! Also, I am a follower of course. I have already posted about the Brown Paper Packages here: http://cerebralexcrement.blogspot.com/2010/03/packagey-packagey-packagey.html

Have a lovely weekend.

Oh well, my favourite item. . it's so hard to pick one as all things are lovely but I guess my favourite is the mod owl.
Thanks for sharing this giveaway. . and to add this: I love your "real people in love" posts. :)
