Sea Babe Jewelry Giveaway WINNER

I think out of all the giveaways so far, the Sea Babe Jewelry has been the most popular. Thank you to everyone that entered! However, there can only be one winner. Who will it be?

I think we're all anxious to find out!
Yes, this lovely Infinity Ring will soon belong to someone very special. So here we go... (drum roll, please!)

The lucky winner of the Sea Babe Jewelry Giveaway is...
... Sarah Lynn! Congratulations, Sarah! Sarah is a fan of the Mother Of All Pearl earring and ring set. With amazing colour like that, it's no wonder she thinks they're drool-worthy! I love the wire work around the ring.
Sad that you didn't win? I know, it sucks. I hate to lose too. You know what? I think it's shopping therapy time :) Did you know that Sea Babe Jewelry is actually really nice in real life?

Kristin and David sent me an Infinity Ring custom-made for me, and I love it. Let me show you just how awesome Sea Babe Jewelry is.
First of all, your package will arrive in a "Rugged Mailer". It's the first time that I have seen such a mailer, but it really is sturdy and it comes with a nifty red strip to open the package easily! I liked that.
Inside the mailer was a nice charcoal grey/black box. When you open it, you can see that Kristin and David put care into their packaging and presentation. They care about their work.

The box is stamped with "Made in Hawaii" so that you know that it's from an exotic and fabulous location. And there's a little silver organza bag waiting for you to open.
How's that for tender loving care? The ring was inside of a little plastic ziplock bag inside of the organza bag. It even comes with a little shell friend. I found that very sweet. It all sits on top of a soft bed of batting, and there's a thank you note from Kristin and David.

Ah, I love it when sellers take care to present their work nicely. It makes the experience so positive and you know that the item is ready for gift giving.

I didn't give this ring away though. Oh no. I put it on right away and I refused to take it off!
I can tell you that it's honestly very pretty, unique, and wearable. It's something you can show your friends and talk about. "This was made in Hawaii!"
Sea Babe Jewelry is a store I would definitely purchase from, and one that I can feel good about recommending to you. I'll be introducing a few other stores that I would recommend to you later on. I've had a lot of good and bad experiences with sellers on Etsy, so I like to tell others when I find a good one.

Sea Babe Jewelry is a good one. Go shopping!Have a great day.

The Winner For A Slice of Delight's Giveaway Contest

Alright! You've been eagerly waiting to find out who won, and I didn't want to disappoint you, so I conducted the most scientific of processes tonight - names in a hat! (Well, it wasn't quite a hat...)I first began by writing the names of all the contestants onto paper and folding them up. Extra entries had their names written extra times. There were a lot of entries (Good job, contestants!), so that took me a while.
Finally, I had all my folded slips of paper ready!
I dropped them into my makeshift "hat" (a.k.a. a glass vase)
and reached in to pick a name
Wait! It's not scientific enough! Stirring is required!
So I stirred a lot, did a drum roll, and picked out a name.
And the lucky winner of the asliceofdelight giveaway contest is.... jewelrybyjanelle50!
Congratulations, jewelrybyjanelle50! A Slice of Delight is ready to send you your new designer soap! Jewelrybyjanelle50 chose the Lime Slice because she thought it sounded really refreshing. Well, now she can bask in her refreshing lather feeling quite smug at having won it all by herself! Oh yes.
Feeling disappointed that you didn't win? Well, goshdarnit go pamper yourself and buy some of your coveted soap! What are you waiting for? You don't have to settle for ONE bar even! You can go for a whole lot of them! Start thinking about it. You could try a different designer soap every day :) This could be the ultimate bath time of the century for you.

Oh, and she's got some new soaps in the shop that you didn't see before. Berrylicious, Lemon Meringue, FROG soap... you must have a peek!
I want to thank you everyone for playing along and participating in this giveaway. It's been a lot of fun, and I hope you will join in again next time!

Have a great, fabulous soap day!
