Well, I simply must say THANK YOU for all the kind comments I received today after my little freak-out. You were all so encouraging and kind, and every single note put a genuine smile on my face. Thank you so much. I will continue to keep on keeping on!

And now, a fun giveaway, just in time for the holidays: a $50 gift certificate to Linkel Designs!
Linkel Designs was born around the same time that owner Kelly’s first child was born. She decided she didn’t want to be away from her newborn son, so she turned her long-time beading hobby into a part-time job. Cut to now, and she has a super-successful shop where she shares her one-of-a-kind jewelry designs with the world!
I took the liberty of making myself a wishlist, just in case any of you were wondering what to get a certain blogger this year, who you’ve probably never met in real life. It’s not weird, I swear.
Check out Linkel Designs, and check a few names off your gift list.
Right now you can also get 10% off your purchase with the code BETTERAFTER!
Enter the giveaway here to win a $50 gift certificate to Linkel Designs. Entering is easy!
Giveaway ends Monday, Dec. 10! Good luck, I hope you win!
