My heroes don't wear capes.
Their faces aren't plastered on posters.
They don't fly or wear stretchy pants. Unless they want to.
My heroes are Moms: Loving, creative mothers using their gifts. Lisa Leonard is one of those women.
One of the highlights of the Blissdom blogging conference, was sitting next to and chatting with Lisa and her twin sister Chrissy (of flipflops and applesauce). When I think of talented, lovely women who are dressed in grace, I think of them.
Lisa makes beautiful jewelry because she is a beautiful person. Every piece is hand-crafted by caring, able hands. Her works of art are unique, timeless and rich in design.
Meeting the face behind the name was so fun! And connecting with her as another mother was very special.
I was amazed at her generosity when she encouraged me to choose jewelry, not to give, but to keep. I chose simple stacking rings (like these) engraved with my children's names:
But her kindness doesn't stop there, she is offering one lucky reader a $50 gift certificate to her store today!
Please go visit her elegant shop and tell me what you'd choose.
Contest ends late Wednesday.
I will announce the winner on Thursday.

Thanks for the opportunity!

Thank you so much. I love the necklace with the initials.
I adore LL---her talent, her writing, her lovely spirit! I'd love to win an original too. I did order something from her, but it was a gift to someone else.
I LOVE the lovebird necklace! It is super cute! All her stuff is great though! Thanks for sharing!

Soooo hard to choose! I like the Bloom necklace, My Heart, Word of the Year, and Oval Monogram just to name a few!
I like the Wish necklace. I love dandelion puffs!
I LOVE the LUCKY MOMMY NECKLACE!
Her jewelry is beautiful.I love the teenie tiny initials necklace.

I've been to Lisa's shop several times - and I read her blog daily. I like the tiny initials necklace. I'd get my four doggies' initials put on the circles. I'd have to add two extra, though. I have four doggies!
I have been looking at her website for the past week. I love her jewelry. To the point that I can not decide what to order. I want an necklace with my kid's name on it. I have wanted one for weeks. I also like the hugs and kisses necklace. I really would like to win!
Oh, definitely the true love necklace! What a fantastic giveaway!
I love the stacking rings with the kids' names on them like you got. Beautiful! I bought something similar for my sister-in-law for Christmas and she loves it!
I would love to be able to give the Courage necklace to my friend who just lost her four month old son.
My pick is the LoveBird Necklace. So sweet.
It's a tough choice, but I think I like the Itty Bitty hearts.
Soooo much to love. I've had my eye on the cuff bracelet because I can actually fit all six of my kiddos' names on it, but can't spend the extra right now (since the giveaway is for $50), so... I would get either
the riveted heart
the riveted flower
the sweet sister
the keychain
the true love hearts
sigh. it would be a tough call...
I love all of them, but would most likely pick the Lucky Mommy necklace. Though this wouldn't be for me, it would be for my best friend who has the sweetest little girl on the face of the planet. I don't know anyone as proud to be a mommy as her.
I really love the Word of the Year necklace. I make jewelry too but haven't learned to use a torch yet, that's one piece I don't know how to make. Beautiful!
Love the lovebird necklace, and the "I hold Your Heart in Mine" , super sweet. No idea what I would pick for sure.
I like the find joy necklace. A great reminder during these rough times.
I really like the itty bitty hearts necklace
I love the bloom necklace.. simple and sweet and perfect for spring. :)

She does such beautiful pieces, it hard to pick a single favorite...I narrowed it down to two - Teeny Tiny Initials and the Oval Monogram...ok, ok, it would be all about Mommy for a change - I'll pick the Oval Monogram! :)
I just LOVE Lisa's jewelry and always drool over the band bracelet with the pearl but I also love the idea of the rings with my son's and husbands name on them. Simple and Beautiful!
Love her stuff. I think I'd choose the teeny tiny initials, or maybe the tiny squares.
Love it all, so hard to choose.
I especially like the Oval Monogram Necklace. She has so many lovely things that it is hard to choose! These items would be delightful gifts for yourself as well as for others!

Thanks for visiting my site. I noticed your blogroll has some of the same folks I visit in the blog world on it!
I've been to Texas lately a bunch doing shows at churches with my brother, David Klinkenberg. I sure love visiting Texas in march when Spring is a distant dream still where I live in Oregon!
Julie
I've had my eye on the itty bitty hearts necklace for a longgggggggg time. =0)
it's a tossup b/t tiny squares and teeny tiny initials! great stuff. thanks for the giveaway!
P.s. I just explored your blog for 20 min and love it! You are so funny! And as a fellow Christian Mom feeling her way through this mother hood thing, I so appreciated your spin on things!
You are now officially on my blog roll so I can keep up with you easier.
I love the stacked rings, too!! :) Thanks for the giveaway!
Her jewelry is so lovely. The Bloom Necklace is my most fav, though. :D
I love it all. I'd choose the stacking rings too!
I love it all. I'd choose the stacking rings too!
My husband got me a Lisa Leonard necklace last year for Mother's Day and it is beautiful! If I won the gift certificate, I would probably choose either the Petite Original Circle or the Word of the Year necklace for my good friend who is just beginning chemo. She's a really special woman and mom, and I think this could be a neat gift.

I like the 'tiny squares' - I would need 3! I love all of her designs.
I like the stackable rings and the keychain. I've never won a giveaway before. Pick me!
I would choose the "courage" necklace.
Such beautiful things! I would choose the original necklace...

Hard choice, everything is so nice. I like The Original Necklace and I like the True Hearts Necklace.
All of her designs are beautiful. My favorites are:
itty bitty hearts
open circle
find joy
Not sure if I made the deadline, but I were to choose, I would choose the Breast Cancer Awareness necklace or the stacking rings, as my wedding band does not fit anymore, so I haven't been wearing one. Thanks for including me if it's not too late.
You know, after browsing through all her great items I think I like that "lucky mommy" necklace.
Cuz I am. ;-)
My favorite would be the wish necklace. They are all beautiful! Enter me. Jackie
I would do the "itty bitty hearts" since I could do my kids initials, and add to it as I have more kids, I know I'd like one or 2 more :) and it would be so great to get this one, and then have the ability to add more initials later!
The 'Word of the Year' necklace would be my choice with 'journey' on it because I feel my life is a journey.
I love herdesigns. The Bloom Necklace is one of my many favorites!
I would choose the lucky mommy necklace...I went thru 10 years of infertility before having my 3 girls. It'd be great if it would say "blessed mommy" ...
What beautiful designs...so simple and form the heart. I love the tiny squares with the kids' names on them!
the breast cancer awareness necklace. one of my best friends is dealing with this, and this would be a small reminder of her.

Kristi
Everything on her site is beautiful, but if I had to choose one, it'd be : The Original Necklace. Just because all 4 of my children's names could be added.
I adore that woman, isn't she just remarkable?
I would choose the Live Fully necklace. I am needing that reminder very much this week...it's been a rough one. But, we all have those, don't we??
Sonya
I would so pick the True Love Hearts, I just love it... and I would love to be able to put my mine and my husbands wedding date on it. I just love that man so much, and we are so blessed!
I love these! I think I'd get either "luck mom" for my SIL who is expecting her first this summer or the itty bitty initials or itty bitty hearts for myself with my kids names or initials. Hmm... depends on if I am feeling selfish or generous. :-)
what beautiful craftswomanship :) I would love anything but I really like the monogrammed oval. Very elegant!
Beautiful... I have several gift ideas planned in my head already - but my favorite is the "love-bird" one. Too cute.
i'd get one or two of her lovely rings. I have been wanting a ring with my boyfriends name on it for a while...maybe one with his and one with mine.
I love her stuff...its beautiful!
