Just in time for Christmas! Lindsey from By Her Hands Etsy shop is sponsoring this giveaway.

A little bit about the designer:
“My name is Lindsey. I have the privilege of working everyday at a high school on the west side of Chicago. This school is nothing like any school I have ever been in. Mostly I go around to grade schools all over Chicago in order to recruit students for our school. Following that, (my favorite part) I build relationships with families as I walk them through the process of admission.
I love all sorts of creative expression -singing, playing piano, guitar, writing, and creating beautiful things like jewelry, stationary, cards. Three years ago a couple roommates and I were participating in Dance Marathon at Hope College and we needed a way to raise money for the Devos Children’s Hospital. We spent the following couple weeks creating hand-made greeting cards and jewelry. Our living room turned into a gallery of beautiful, hand-made creations, friends and family came out, and we raised hundreds of dollars.
I have continued to create these things and love to experiment with new mediums and designs. I discovered Etsy not too long ago and decided this would be a great way to again have an outlet for my designs. You will currently find in my store hand-made cards and jewelry, but I plan to expand my offerings in the near future.
two random facts about me:
The Stress Reliever at Lemonjello’s is my favorite specialty drink y espanol es la lengua de mi alma.”
This giveaway is for the Cobalt and Coffee earrings pictured above (are we drooling yet) and you may enter up to 3 times, heres how:
You can simply just browse her shop and let me know your favorite product, she’s selling things like hot cakes I hear so it varies what’s available from day to day (because she’s awesome).
You can blog about this giveaway and then tell me about it, with a link to your entry for another entry to this giveaway.
Or you can buy something from her store or any other fabulous store on etsy and let me know you did so … lets support each other through this season!
Giveaway ends on Friday night at 11pm EST – winner will be announced Saturday morning.

Eating out or traveling in the car for more than 10 minutes with an active 3 year old … sounds fun, huh? And a little out of control if there’s not something, anything, to keep them occupied. And, by the way, kicking the back of my seat does not count.
Instead of sweating through dinner with the grandparents and emotionally eating the entire chocolate cake for your appetizer … try these instead:
I spy bags In a variety of designs.
