1st Giveaway - All You Need is Love (CLOSED)

My first post was on June 23rd, just over a month ago. Over the last month, I've so enjoyed *meeting* you, visiting your blogs and learning a tidbit about you here and there, having you visit me over here and of course reading your comments, and by the way...you guys are really sweet! I always think twice about putting myself out there, but honestly, you've never let me regret it. So...to thank you for the all the *love* you've shown me, I'm having my first ever (yes, there will be more to follow) giveaway....

On a recent shopping trip, I spotted this sweet sterling silver LOVE necklace...

[click images to enlarge]
When I saw it, I knew it was perfect for this giveaway. I know it might not be everyone's style, but c'mon, who doesn't need a little love? And it's FREE so if you win and it's not really your thing...give it away to someone you love!


Here are the rules:
1. Leave a comment on this post telling me one (or all if you really want to) of the following:
a) what love means to you or
b) the best thing someone you love has done for you or
c) the best thing you've done for someone you love or
d) something you're loving right now
2. Become my *Google Friend* and click to "Follow" this blog
I know some are not on Blogger but already subscribe so that counts!
Side Note: Have you noticed that it sometimes says "Members"? I wish they'd just change it permanently, it's so much better than "Follower"...as a Member, it's like you belong to a circle of friends/family...or exclusive club, hehe
3. For a double entry, add a link to this contest on your blog and leave a separate comment to let me know.
4. The winner will be picked randomly, through random.org, not by the *best* answer because I think all the answers would be lovely, which is why I want to hear them :)
5. Open to all - including International readers!
Yup, S gave me the go ahead(at least for this 1st giveaway) and is footing the bill, LOL
6. Entries will be accepted till July 30th. Winner will be announced July 31st.

That's it, get gushing!
Can't wait to hear all your lovely entries!

Good luck & thanks for playing!!!

  1. Yay for a giveaway! How lovely of you :) Congratulations on the one month dear, your blog is absolutely amazing.

    I have a feeling that necklace may not suit guys, buuuut my meaning of love is in the little things in life. If you can wash the dishes with someone after a long day of work, not saying anything, and just being happy in the company of each other, that's love. Or if your other half comes home after a hard day, and you make them tea as they crash out on the sofa, that's love. It's the little things that mean the most.

    Hope you're having a beautiful day :)

  4. I LOVE your love giveaway! I think the best thing I did for someone I love was to plan over a month's worth of birthday activities for J's 30th birthday last year to make it memorable. We had so much fun and there are so many beautiful memories from those days leading up to his milestone birthday. When we're together, he makes me breakfast, just the way I like it... nothing fancy, but I love he's willing to do it for me!

  15. Wonderful giveaway!

    Right now, I'm loving summer and the amount of free time I have! During the school year I never have a chance to do a lot of things I want to (like play dress-up in my closet, haha) but now I can. I'm also loving my family, I've gotten a lot closer to my sister this summer. :)

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    Thanks :)

  17. Love, kindness & understanding...
    Love is the opposite of fear...most people would think the the opposite is hate, but it's actually fear! LOVE or I would prefer to say it, "lurrrrve!"

    ~Lurrrvely weekend Ela*

  20. aw, you are too precious :) thanks for the giveaway doll. hmm let's see..to me love isn't what most people expect. at first its butterflies, giggles, getting all dressed up just to watch a movie at your house. but after all that wears off it's commitment, comfort, fun, friendship and passion. i could go on forever, so ill just stop myself right now ;) have a wonderful weekend beautiful!

    I really loved it when my husband gave me Chanel Coco mademoiselle. That's my favorite perfume :DD
    He also gave me a bunch of Winnie the Pooh key holder thing when we were dating. That is my favorite!! More than the perfume :D

  33. that is so weird I swear I was following you before! But I guess google never went through the first time but I'm following you now! You know I'm a huge fan of your blog ;)

    That's such a cute necklace! What love means to me... I think it's unconditional, so no matter how your perspectives change and how you grow the other person still accepts and understands who you are! Like the way parents put up with their kids going through emo and superficial stages in HS :D

    ReplyDelete
  34. Ooh, very neat! Hm... I'm currently loving this 3.1 Philip Lim leather mini: http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/46134#

    Too superficial? The best thing I've done for someone I love is move to Hong Kong for him :)

  35. You are so sweet. Love is about sharing all the little simple things in life. It is knowing someone is there for you at the end of the day. Love is about cooking me hot soup when I am sick and still think I am great even though I am grumpy from a bad cold. : )

    ReplyDelete
  36. First, congrats on your one month anniversary! I am so happy you are here! I love reading your blog. Second, what a cute giveaway!

    I think the best thing anyone I love has done for me is when my father surprised me with a new pink North Face in high school. It was opening night of a play I was in and, as usual, I was nervous. He couldn't be there for the opening because he was working. But when I got to the theater there was this huge pink box and my coat inside. Very cute of my dad, he always does cute stuff like that.
    Cheers,
    C

  44. I LOVE this necklace. LOVE to me is sacrificial, not selfish, giving, undeniable, and never ending!!! Thanks for a giveaway doll. What a wonderful necklace to giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I'm so grateful I've found love in my life. Love makes you into a better person and you are always striving to be better because you love them. You want to be completely selfless and give your life for that person because of love. That's what love means to me!

  47. Thanks for the lovely giveaway!!!

    Right now, i am really loving etsy, or rather everything handmade. I have just opened a shop there, but i also enjoy browsing through the stuff others put up. I love the idea of purchasing thing that are made personally and by hand rather than the mass-produce stuff.

Penny for your thoughts?
