Scarborough Seashells: christmas

Hello everybody! Sorry I've been AWOL for so long- autumn was just insane with, well, life! Birthdays, holidays, craft shows, custom work, new clients, etc and something had to give, so I gave myself a break from blogging.

We've celebrated Thanksgiving

Watched sunrises

And sunsets

We've done craft shows

We've celebrated Christmas and New Years

(looking for the pickle)

and also my 36th birthday (dinner at a Japanese steakhouse followed by a movie, with a pit stop to the photo booth in the lobby)- just to name a few!

Today I'm back to work making new pendants

And it just so happens that my Work in Progress Wednesday post is also my 300th blog post. So to celebrate that milestone (as well as all the others that I've passed in the last few months) I'm doing a giveaway. It's been a long time since I've sent one of my readers a piece of jewelry in a giveaway, so I thought now would be the perfect time!

If you'd like a chance to win one of my new bangles, read on! They are sterling silver, hand forged by me, featuring a sterling silver sand dollar or scallop shell charm.

They are a standard 8.5 inch (large) size but I do have a few that are smaller, so if you win and need the smaller size, just let me know!

Here's the lowdown on entering to win:

1. As usual, leave a comment telling me a recent milestone you've celebrated.
2. For 1 additional entry, tweet about this giveaway and report back here with a separate comment linking to said tweet.
3. For a 3rd chance to enter, blog about this giveaway or post it to your sidebar. Again, come back here and leave a separate comment linking to your blog.

That's up to 3 chances to win! Deadline for entry is Friday the 13th of January (eek!) at Midnight, ET

It's been a busy, busy couple of weeks, I can't believe I've hardly had time to answer emails muchless blog. So here's a recap in photos of some of the goings on around the Beaulieu household.

The decoration fairy threw up bins of glitter and glitz all over our house! It took until mid December, but we did finally get our tree up...

And our stockings hung with care...

Presents!!!!

"White Christmas", well actually a "White Birthday" for Mama... our plans to go out to a nice dinner with friends were slayed by Sunday's storm, but we made the best of it!

Happy Belated Christmas and Wishing Everyone Peace, Joy, Health and Prosperity in the New Year!
