  14. Thanks everyone for your loyalty, new followers, old followers, business and friendships.
    All new people, please be sure there is some way that I can reach you in case you win one of the three prizes. Currently, I have a number of individuals, that I have no clue how I will get a hold of you. I will post the winners when the event is over though, so some may see it that way.

  39. I am already a follower of your main blog so I am already aware of how truly talented you are.
    I would be extremely grateful to have my name thrown in the mix for a chance to win one of your beautiful pieces. You still need to publish your work in some of the Stampington jewelry magazines, they would be fortunate to have your pieces in there. Not to mention it would bring you a whole new fan base. I am a big fan of your jewelry and I think it's time that everyone knew how great you are.
