Big A$$ Giveaway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aegean Earrings: Oxidized sterling silver hoop earrings wire wrapped with apatite and Sleeping Beauty turquoise rondelles, finished off with peridot briolettes.

It's the moment you've all been waiting for! (Right? Right???)

This is my big month-long giveaway that I am starting a little early because we're actually going to be out of town this weekend and I wanted to get this started by November 1, and not a day later!

So here's the deal (much of this was lifted verbatim from Jay's Halftime Lessons blog -- sorry, I'm busy; and he gave me permission):

To Get One Entry:

No need to go visit any other sites or tell me what you like best in my shop or jump through any other hoops (I hate that in a giveaway). Just leave me a comment and you'll get an entry. Easy peasy.

To Get Three Entries (this one is a little more involved; please read these instructions carefully!):

Step One: Add a text link in one of your own blog posts, and point that link to the Beadiful Things blog to promote this giveaway, or use the button provided below. The mention must be in a post to qualify, not on a sidebar. [If, after you make your post, you decide to put my button in your sidebar anyway, well...then I'll be your best friend forever].
Step Two: Next fill out a comment at the bottom of this post and TELL ME that you have linked to the contest from your blog, and where that link is so I can come find it. Once I verify your mention, I will put you down for THREE entries.

To put a Beadiful Things Giveaway button in one of your posts, copy and paste the code below into one of your blog posts...

Winner will be announced on December 2. These can be a lovely early Christmas present for yourself or you can hang on to them and give them to a special someone on Christmas morning. Me, I'd keep 'em!
