K's Design Beads & Baubles Giveaway! CLOSED

funky purple ice handmade earrings


I'm totally one of those women who dresses up for the gym. It doesn't make sense since I'm gonna get all sweaty and gross, but it actually guarantees I work out well. If i'm gonna wear cute fitness attire, then I gotta have the body for it.

Recently I decided to start running. It hasn't actually happened yet, BUT I did buy running sneakers from Nike. Did you know you can design your own sneakers? and by design, I mean you get to choose all the colors.

So that is what I did. I chose pink and black. It's hot, sexy, cute, me...

When I got these earrings from K's Design Beads & Baubles. I immediately knew they'd match my workout attire. Ok... so I'm not gonna wear long earrings while at the gym... but I will wear them afterward when it's time to get my protein shake at the local hot spot.

Kerstin got started in jewelry design simply from her desire to have exactly what she wanted in exactly the color she wanted. (Kinda like my running sneakers... but I digress). Kerstin made her own jewelry for a few years, and then friends began to ask for custom designs. Things progressed from there to having jewelry in various boutiques and in her very own web shop.

Kerstin finds inspiration in shapes, colors, and music. Her most interesting inspiration comes from her songwriting. She can envision what the character in the song would wear according to her mood and style, and new designs are born!

How cool is that? When you're wearing a piece of Kerstin's jewelry, chances are that a character in one of her songs either has worn it, or is wearing it also :)

So now it's time to find that piece to wear as Kerstin is offering one of you the chance to win the item of your choice from her shop up to the value of $15!

To Enter:
Visit Kerstin's shop, K's Design Beads and Baubles, then come back here and tell me what you'd love to wear.

For a second entry, tell me a song that inspires you. If it's your own, let's read some lyrics!

If you can't wait to win, Kerstin is offering 10% off for those of you who mention "Roxy Refund" in a message to the seller on etsy.

Contest ends December 1st 2009

Winner will have 48 hrs to confirm win.

Contest open to US and Canadian entries only

I'm not sure it "inspires" me but Kathleen Edward's song "Buffalo" calms me and helps me focus.

An inspiring song...is one that makes you think. My favourite is "Imagine"...love the Perfect Circle version music-wise, but those lyrics of Lennon's are probably one of the best of all time.

Inspirational songs are hymns to me. I love the deep meaning and thought behind them. One of my faves is 'deep, deep love of Jesus'. Many more too.

The artist that inspires me the most is kelly clarkson right now. I think she has an amazing voice. We are close to the same age and I can relate to her songs depending on which mood I am in.
