the (very beautiful) legacy bracelet give-away


**giveaway now closed**

{my legacy bracelet in bella}

This is one of the hardest give-away posts I've ever written. I think I've got such emotional attachment to this extraordinary piece of jewelry that I'm nervous my words won't do enough justice.

Each bracelet is custom made. With your photos. Of those dear to you. See my Samuel on my arm? That could be your photo. Your children. Your love. Your memories. Your story.

Births, Anniversaries, Mother's Day, Remembrance, Family. Personalized.


I've already been stopped by individuals asking about it. And it gets me talking. Remembering. About my kids. About Samuel. And Celiac Disease. And hope. Joy.

The winner of this giveaway will receive one Legacy Bracelet in the Bella Design. You'll simply choose your favorite photos and send them to Legacy Bracelets. You could also choose a saying or a Bible verse if your kiddos don't fill up the band - like my seven kids did. ;)

It's one of a kind. It's personal.

And Legacy Bracelets is incredibly dear to my heart -- Amy {the same Amy I write about, the one who sat next to me in the hospital with Samuel, and my dear dear friend}-- is one of the owners of Legacy Bracelets. And I can tell you, can guarantee you, that each piece is created not only to perfection but with intense care and love. Her passion and zest for life is reflected in the quality and beauty of the work.

I am honored to give one away.


Would love one of your own? Here's how to win your own Bella Bracelet (a $60 value)...

 This is to make sure that all your comments count, and to help my tired brain tally.  Giveaway runs from today (the 6th) and ends on the 12th, CST. Winner will be announced on the 13th!
 And who knows? It could be you. :)

{ legal stuff -- this giveaway is for a bracelet donated by legacy bracelets valued at $64.20 USD.

I would have to really think about whether I wanted it for myself, or for my best friend in Canada. Oh the battle between selfishness and generosity. ;)

Mama4Real said...

I like the Tiffany one!

Mama4Real said...

It will be for me, me, me! Sounds totally selfish, huh?

Katie Orr said...

REALLY hard to choose..today I would pick Avery!

Wow that is really cool! I would give one to my mom as a Mothers Day gift as I am not a big jewelry wearer.I think she would like the Tiffany one.(:

Goodness, the bracelets are beautiful. I think I like the Avery the best, but if I ordered one, I would probably order the Evelynn. I tend to wear more neutral colors, and not sue the Avery would go with what I wear. :)

Maddie said...

If I won, I'd probably get one for my mom. Even though I love bracelets, I know my mom would love it more. I'd be the perfect birthday present!

Maddie said...

I love the Avery and Sophia! So bright and fun!

Lana said...

How beautiful! I would love to own one with pictures of my son on it!

Lana said...

I love the Evenlynn one!

I like the Evelyn one ! (well, i like ALL of them but I would have to go with the Evelyn one)

Danielle Logan said...

The comment above is mine too. :S Oops.

It would be for my daughter. Shes only 7 but family has always been most important to her. She made herself a little 'book' that is titled 'family' and has all the photos of, you guessed it, her family. She takes it to every sleepover and has taken it to school for show and tell. I'm writing this because just the other day she lost her Grandma and in a sudden car accident. She is still young but I know she would treasure this dearly.

Cheers,
Danielle

Unknown said...

If I won, I would give it to my mom. Filling it with her 5 grandchildren would bring a smile to her face:)

Unknown said...

Started following you in the last two weeks and have been blessed for doing so!

Rachel,
I follow your blog already and I would love one of these for myself. Selfish, huh? ;) I just can't think of a more precious reminder of our beautiful blessings than me wearing this every day! Thanks for hosting such a beautiful giveaway.

BARBIE said...

I would love to win one for my mother or MIL for Mother's Day! It would be hard to choose. Might just have to buy the other one.

BARBIE said...

They are all so beautiful, but I think I love the Tiffany design the best.

Kate said...

I would love a bracelet like this, but really I would want one for my sister. She had a bone marrow transplant in October and has had a very rough recovery. She has not been able to see her children (8,5,4) very much because of her recovery and the amount of sickness in the air this year. We are taking care of her children while she is recovering and sometimes I wish there was something more I could do for her while she is fighting to return to "normal". These are beautiful bracelets, and a neat way to keep those close to your heart, well...close to your heart. :)

Kate said...

I follow your blog through google reader. Does that count as following a blog?

Kate said...

I personally love the Tiffany bracelet. Nice warm colors. I know my sister would love the Evelynn bracelet. She's a black and white kind of person. :)

Krista said...

I want one for me, to remind me of my beautiful children all day while I am at work and away from them

Krista said...

I follow!

Krista said...

Tiffany is my favorite...love that deep red!

Krista said...

Just blogged it!

~Beth D. said...

It would be for me. I go to work and help everyones kids while I miss mine madly!

~Beth D. said...

The Tiffany is my favorite!

Southern Gal said...

This one would be for me with my children and granddaughter's pictures.

Southern Gal said...

It's tough to choose. I made a pocketbook out of the same fabric that's on the Avery. I like the Bella, though.

Christie Clair said...

I would so love this bracelet for... me! Being my girls' Mama is the joy of my life. I would love to have such a lovely reminder of this time I have with them when they are young. Because, someday soon they will be big, and I will long for this precious moment in time.

Hoichi said...

I think I'd give it to my mentor, who is dear to my heart, and has 6 lovely children that would fit it perfectly!

Christie Clair said...

On my, they are all so great...My favorite is Evelynn (close second would be Avery- I'm not good with choosing favorites... just ask my husband)

Blessings...

Hoichi said...

I'm a black and white girl, so I like Evelynn the best!

Amy said...

I would love one for myself. I am a piano teacher, but it's hard to find nice bracelets that don't make a lot of noise while I am teaching or playing. This looks perfect. And I would love to have a place to show off my two boys!

megan ann. said...

Oh man, I like them all! Haha, way too hard to chose. At the moment I'm going to chose the Sophia one :).

clairebear said...

I like the Evelynn one. It is similar to my favorite Vera Bradley pattern Night and Day.

Gwen T said...

In total and utter selfishness I would keep it for myself.

I wouldn't win anyway so just here to support you and let you know I'm always praying.
Psalms 94:17-19, 22 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul...But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
