A little something different for the April giveaway :-)

So, time for another monthly earring giveaway, right? Ah, not so fast. This time I've decided to shake things up a little. Sneaky, aren't I?

Spring is starting to pop up all over the place here, and one of my favorite things about spring is all the beautiful, vibrant COLOR that appears after months and months of dreary brown and gray ( ... nothing against brown and gray ... they're perfectly good colors, and I'm sure they feel underappreciated ... but they've had their day and now it's time to make way for the rest of the color wheel).

So, for the April giveaway, instead of giving away a pair of earrings, I've decided to give away a set of five bright and colorful 'Inspiration' bracelets!

These are brand new at Believe Street, and they will be available for purchase in the online shop in the next few days (... of course, if you just can't wait, you can always contact me to order yours in advance). They're available in 12 colors, including the five shown here, plus softer pastel versions of these five colors, black, and clear crystal. There are five words available: Peace, Love, Joy, Hope, and Faith. They're selling at one for $7; three for $19; or five for $29.

Each bracelet is made with 32 Swarovski crystals, two 'message' beads, and 12 silver accent beads. And, the best part is that they're stretchy, so they fit almost everyone, and they're easy to put on and take off. You can wear one, two, three, or a stack of all five. Not only will they add a little spark to whatever you're wearing, but I'm hoping they will also brighten your day with their reminder to notice the peace, love, joy, hope, and faith that's all around you.

Ah, but there's a catch! This month, I'm mixing things up and upping the ante a little bit. Usually, everyone who is on my mailing list is automatically eligible to win each month ... which makes your odds about 500 to 1. This time, though, you not only have to be on my mailing list, but you also have to leave a comment below. Just tell us which of these five words is your favorite, and why. Or, which one of these five things you need most in your life right now, and why. That's all ... doesn't need to be long. Yes, it's a little more work, but just think how much better your odds will be this month! :-)

The contest ends at 5 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time on Wed., April 30. If you're already on my list, simply leave a comment on this post to be entered and you're all set. If you're new to Believe Street and want to enter this month's contest, simply go here to join my mailing list, then come back and leave a comment. Very easy.

Tell your friends about it too! Then go out and soak up all the luscious springtime color ... unless it's winter where you are, of course ... then stay in and have a cup of hot cocoa.

I absolutely LOVE these bracelets & will be buying some, for sure. I am very involved with the American Cancer Society & the Relay for Life event, so my favorite would have to be the "Hope" one, as it is a word that resounds with the cause! I'd love to order a bunch of these in the future to help with fundraising for our cause. Do you offer discounts for large quantities?? Thanks for the chance to win these beautiful bracelets! Have a wonderful day!

What beautiful bracelets! Joy is my favorite word--I had a friend named Joy when I was a little girl and I always thought it was such a lovely thing to wish your daughter, or to wish for anyone, really. So happy to have popped in today and see you blogging again--I can't remember how I found your site, but your writing is always such a delight to read.
