Are you craving a holiday gift for yourself but don’t have the energy, desire or finances to splurge? Want your wife, girlfriend, mother, sister or best friend to feel like the beautiful, amazing woman she is but have limited funds to purchase the perfect gift?
Then Breaking the Mirror’s
“Jingle Belle Jewelry”
contest is for you!
Talented Lambchop Bijoux artisan Erika Shoemaker is once again offering Breaking the Mirror readers the opportunity to win some jingling, jangling handcrafted jewelry.
Erika deeply understands what it’s like to battle an eating disorder. In fact, she’s slowly and steadily recovering herself. (Her insightful, moving chronicles can be found at bubble wrapped.)
The earrings Erika’s allowing us to give away are 22k gold plated chalcedony, amber and Czech glass. They’re 100% handmade and 110% unique. (I actually own a pair of Lambchop Bijoux earrings and I can vouch for their beauty and quality!)
But true to Erika’s giving nature, she’s not satisfied that a lucky winner only receive one set of earrings… sooooo… she’s also throwing in a dazzling second set of silver-plated earrings with lemon and seafoam chalcedony and Swarovski crystals. Take a gander… aren’t they exquisite?
There’s just one teensy weensy catch… we’re asking the winner of the Jingle Belle Jewelry contest to keep one pair and give the second one away to a friend or loved one. It’s our little way of saying, “Enjoy yourself… but make sure to help someone else enjoy herself, too.”
To win these one-of-a-kind Lambchop Bijoux earrings (retailed collectively at approximately $70), please follow these simple instructions:
• Before Sunday, November 30, 2008 at 11:59 p.m. EST, leave a comment on this post. State which pair of earrings you’d keep and which you’d give away. Tell us to whom you would give the second pair to and why. (This is critical – if you just say “I love the contest – gimme those earrings” you’ll be disqualified.)
BONUS: As a special incentive, if you mention Breaking the Mirror’s Jingle Belle Jewelry contest at your blog and leave a comment here with a link to your blog posting, you’ll be entered a second time!
The Jingle Belle Jewelry contest winner will be chosen using a random number generator. He or she will be announced no later than Tuesday, December 2, 2008 at noon EST.
Good luck… and may the Jingle Belle Jewelry contest bring a smile to your face as well as the face of someone you love!

Lemon to myself…blue to my fabulous daughter! (her favorite color!)
thanks so much for entry
She does beautiful work.
I would give the pretty pair of chalcedony, amber and Czech glass earrings to my best friend because the colors would show off her pretty eyes. I love to give her nice earrings since she won’t spend the money for herself.
I would keep the lemon and seafoam chalcedony earrings for myself. I love the colors since they remind me of the ocean and I’m a beachy girl.
Thank you for introducing me to her work and for the nice giveaway.
I would keep the pair on the left and give the pair on the right to my daughter. She is a new mom and deserves something this special and pretty.
i would keep the pair on the left and give the pair on the right to my bff Eva, since she likes jewelry like that. To be honest though I will probably either give her both, or a pair to her and a pair to my mum, because they both appreciate jewelry that is really “made.”
I would keep the one on the left and give the other one to my mom
Erika is not only a very talented jewelry crafter and artist, but she is also so very generous! Thank you so much Erika! I also commend her for writing about her struggles with an eating disorder. That is such a painful issue to deal with on so many levels and she is so brave to share with others her plight! I would love to keep the lemon and seafoam chalcedony earrings for myself. They are truly beautiful and I don’t own any earrings even remotely similar to these beauties. I would wear them all the time. I would give the amber and Czech glass earrings to my dear friend Carol who would absolutely love them! They are just her style and she would truly appreciate the impeccable artistry that went into designs and creating these stunners. Thank you so much for the opportunity to enter. Happy Holidays!!
i would keep the blue ones, and give the pink ones to my oldest daughter who would treasure them
I would keep the blue ones and give the pink one to my sister-in-law
I would give the blue ones to my daughter because she loves big bold earrings and she’d love that pair!
I would keep the lemon and sea foam earrings for myself and I would give my mother the blue earrings because these are the types of earrings that she enjoys wearing
I Would give the amber and gold to my co-worker and keep the seafoam lemon silver pair for myself.
I’d give the Swarovski ones to my sis. She LOVES that store!
Both pairs of earrings are beautiful, but I would give my best friend the pair on the right because she is a natural earthy beautiful woman who is celebrating over a decade of recovery from her eating disorder, and I’d keep the pair with the blue bead as a reminder that it is my turn to fly (blue = sky) and build my wings for recovery.
The subtle colors on the Chalcedony earrings are stunning and would go with any outfit. I especially love the little dangling Swarovski crystal, so elegant. These are my keepers.
The baby blues would be gifted to my son’s girlfriend. They are the cutest couple (ah, young love), she makes him very happy and they will be celebrating their first holiday season together.
I have a daughter who would love to wear the blue pair. Thank you!!
I would keep the lemon pair for myself and give the other pair to my mother.

I would keep the silver plated Lemon and seafoam Chalcedony and swarovski crystal ones and give the gold plated chalcedony, amber and szech glass ones to my step daughter.
Hard to choose but I th ink I’d keep the first and give away the second.
I would be tempted to keep the gold-plated earrings for myself, giving the other (equally beautiful) set to my sister for Christmas
i’d keep the Citrine, Peridot, and Glass. and give the Peridot. Al 14k to my mom because they match her eyes
I will defintly keep the chalcedony earrings for myself, and give the second pair to my sister n law, because she is a big jewelry wearer, and she has hosted our growing family for Xmas for the last 20 years, so that we can enjoy each other and that all 56 of us can get together at least once a year, she is truly a special person and deserves a gift that she could, would and treasure, thanks for such a great giveaway

Thanks for the giveaway.
hard decision… I would give my friend the first pair and keep the second ones
What a hard choice – they’re both gorgeous! I think I would keep the seafoam as I have an outfit they would go with, and give the amber ones to my sister, Angela, who has the blog http://www.breastfeeding123.com. She’s been sick lately (now on the mend, thankfully) and I’m so proud of her!
I would keep the blue (my favorite color) and give the other pair to my great friend Susan who just completed a very difficult online 1 year course in Histology, while being a mom to 3 and working full time! She deserves them!
Beautiful earrings! I would keep the blue pair for myself and then would give the lemon pair to my mother to say thank you for all the help she has given me in the past. She takes my kids for me on some weekends to give me a break and today she helped me clean my house so she has done alot for me!
The amber and seafoam earring would look great on my sister with her dark hair. I am very partial to peaches and pinks and would love the pair with lemon and seafoam chalcedony and Swarovski crystals. Gorgeous–hope I win!
