Giveaway: Blessed Necklace from Creative Carmella

Friends, I sincerely hope that somewhere in your journeys around blog-land, you've come across my sweet and talented friend Carmella.



{You might remember her from this summer when she shared a

yummy homemade frosty recipe during my Life's a Beach series.} 

She blogs over at Creative Carmella, sharing her latest projects and inspirations as well as wonderful stories about her children and the things God is doing in her life.  One of which is how she was able to turn this necklace...

...into these coats for needy children in her community.

It started with her desire to provide a coat for a particular boy who she saw getting off the school bus each day without one, and God provided the means to do that and so much more.  To hear her share the full story in her own words, don't miss her great posts about it!  And she's not finished yet!  In her shop, she sells the Blessed necklace for just $6 {can you believe it?!}, $4 of which she donates toward buying even more coats for children in need.

She also has some other washer necklaces in her shop, the "Annie" and the "Mae," and she's added some new items since Christmas.

Carmella and I both recently got started with metal stamping, and she is really making some beautiful things!  Take a look at these:

Are they gorgeous, or what?!  Be sure to visit her shop and see for yourself!

Today, Carmella has graciously offered to give away one of her "Blessed" necklaces to a lucky One Artsy Mama reader! 

Trust me, you'll LOVE it.  I bought myself one when I first saw her original post about the coat project, and have worn it many times since, including out to my birthday dinner and on our anniversary!

See, it works great with any outfit, whether you're dressed up or just comfy in your jeans!

There are several ways you can enter; Rafflecopter will walk you through the process, just give it a moment to load if it hasn't yet.  You can leave me a comment telling me one reason you're blessed.  You can follow me here or on Facebook, and you can follow Carmella in those same places.  Good luck!
