And how can you score 2 pieces for only $14.99?
Step 1: Buy your FIRST piece of JewelMint in February, using my discount code: SF89. That code will get you 50% off, which means your piece is only $14.99 with FREE SHIPPING!! Sorry, it’s only good for new members, on their first purchase.
Step 2: Let me know that you completed Step 1, via e-mail, my JewelMint Facebook page, blog comment, text, call, etc. If I get 10 people to make that purchase THIS MONTH using my code (SF89), then you 10 will be put into a drawing for a FREE JEWELMINT CREDIT! If we get 20 people to make that first purchase, then I’ll give away 2 CREDITS!
I think your chances for free jewelry are pretty good there, don’t you??
Sounds easy, right? Right! And the good part is, we’re already on our way to getting there. Thank you to everyone who has purchased their first piece using my code this month. You all ROCK! I’ll keep you all updated via the Facebook page when there’s a new purchase – woot!
Now when are they releasing that darn horse bracelet?…
Read MoreJewelMint GIVEAWAY!
Well, you guys rock! I promised that after my new Mint Brand Ambassador Facebook page reaches 50 fans I’d host a giveaway, and thanks to you all we did it in record time! Yay!
So here it is…I’m going to gift the winner of this giveaway with 1 credit at JewelMint.com, which is good for one piece of FABULOUS jewelry!!
First of all…what the heck is JewelMint.com?? Well, it is a jewelry line that 1) I am addicted to. And 2) it’s a subscription service that you sign up for and each month you purchase a credit, good for one piece of jewelry for $29.99 (but don’t worry, you can always ‘skip’ the month and you won’t be charged, plus you are free to purchase pieces throughout the month even if you skip. I skip every month, actually…and only purchase my pieces using discount codes or I buy mystery bags, ‘free gift with purchase’ pieces, etc.
All of the pieces are designed by actress Kate Bosworth and her stylist Cher Coulter. And they are all so trendy and great. Love them. I am a “Mint Brand Ambassador” which basically means that I sign people up for the service, giving them my specific discount 50% off code: SF89. It’s how I get credit…and earn my jewelry and commissions, yay!
What would I pick if I was give a free credit at JewelMint? Hmmm…I’d pick the Blush Bomb Ring! I love seeing pictures of people wearing the jewelry, and this one looks pretty awesome on the hand.
So, as you can see from this awesome RaffleCopter gadget I’ve got down below, there are a few ways to enter, giving you up to 11 entries! Enter anytime starting now, and the giveaway ends on Friday, February 3rd at midnight EST.
This gives you time to decide what piece out of February’s collection will be your first purchase for only $14.99…because you used the code SF89. Hint, hint…it earns you 5 bonus points for this giveaway!
I know there are other 50% off codes out there…but they don’t help me out. So…help a girl out!
SF89 is specific to me!
Good luck and I can’t wait to read your entries!! And always, always feel free to ask me any questions you might have about JewelMint!

{Giveaway} Merry Christmas from me! …and Rollip.com!
Oh my…5 days and counting until Santa’s here! I still have a few gifts to find, many to wrap (as soon as Santa aka the UPS man aka my father-in-law delivers them!) and many to give! Giving is the best part, I think! So as a gift to you (and me!) the generous folks over at Rollip.com are offering a select number of my readers a chance at testing out their website – yippee! Well, what is Rollip.com? Glad you asked – it’s a professional online photo editing website that lets you add a filter to your photo in one easy step. They have 40 filters to choose from (do the cropping and such before you upload your photo) that will give your photo an interesting effect. The various filters include 10 categories with 4 filters in each category; Classics, Vintage (my favorite!), Added Character, B&W/Sepia, Styled Lenses, Glows, B/W Added Character, Extreme Stylized, Bold Tones and Drawing Styles.

Here is what I did with some of my photos…


Yeah, that yellow Kodak date is why you want to do the editing and cropping before you upload to Rollip…
We were on vacation in Costa Rica for this pic.


And of course I played with some of my favorite pics of my baby girl!
Aawww…I love that one.
Anyway, here is the lowdown! Rollip.com is giving the first 15 of you to sign up the chance to test out their website for FREE! What you do is click over to the link below, sign up for an account (really simple – just an e-mail address and password and you can get started), and you get to edit 30 photos because they’re giving you 30 credits for free! That’s a value of $5.98 – at Rollip.com you pay per credit, not per month or per year like some photo editing sites. I think that’s great because you only need to pay for what you need and you’re not wasting time if you don’t use the service!
Okay, get to clicking because it’s first come, first serve with only 15 Pro Accounts with credits available! Enjoy! And Merry Christmas! Oh, and if you do take advantage, please let me know what you think here on the blog – we’d love to hear your feedback for this new site. Thanks!

Read MoreHe Says/She Says Poll Results
Good morning, everyone! How was your weekend? Mine was great! Just too short…I cleaned my office (aahhh – that is a big sigh of relief), made a few Christmas cards and helped Glenn build the frame around a box that is protecting our septic tank in the backyard. Gross. Well, the box isn’t gross, just the thought of a big tank of poo that is right underneath our feet in our backyard.
It’s just weird. The tank isn’t buried very deep – the top of it is actually level with the ground, so we have these big plastic lids that stick up on the lawn, so we’re building a box to protect it from the sun. You really don’t want those plastic lids getting sunbaked and brittle!! A few weeks ago, Glenn dug some holes, poured some concrete in and set some posts. And yesterday he started on the frame…and I helped. Anyway, more on that later!
Next up is the results of the “He Says/She Says” bedroom paint dilemma poll I posted last Friday. So far it’s 53% for painting the trim, chair rail and ceiling brown…41% say leave it how it is…and 6% (1 vote) says Other, but I don’t know what Other means! Anyway, to let you in on who is who…I am the one who wants to paint. Surprise, surprise, right? I feel like at the very least the orange and white needs to be broken up (by painting the chair rail). And I saw a photo online SOMEWHERE of a bedroom with a chocolate brown ceiling and I LOVED it. But I can’t find it anywhere now…let me know if you have seen it or know where I can find it…please! Glenn wants to paint the trim around the windows the same color as the lower wall and be done with it. And he is seriously fighting me on it…straight up says ‘no! Do not paint it!’ It must be nice to have such amazing psychic powers and knowing how ugly my idea must turn out. ::Grrrr…::
I’d even consider doing a tan ceiling instead if chocolate brown is that scary for a ceiling. I still think the chair rail would be best in chocolate, though. But I could always paint that tan as well and if I don’t like it I can paint it darker. Whatever, Glenn, ha!
Thank you all for your votes – I win, I win!! But we’ll see if it ever gets done…I’m still waiting for Glenn to fill all the nail holes in the new trim so that we can get those painted. We’ll also paint the bathroom ceiling (back to white) when we paint the trim. It’s VERY dark in there…you can still do your makeup, but I think we just need a little more white to balance out all of the brown. It keeps it looking crisp. And I need to get new towels and finish sewing my new shower curtain…
And speaking of paint colors, I recently finished an e-decorating Paint Consultation project for a client. I chose colors for the ENTIRE house and I hear through the grapevine (aka Facebook) that their painters are done and they LOVE their colors. Can’t wait to share those photos with you all!! After I see them, of course…
Edit: My brain and my fingers aren’t working together…I thought I left the contest open until TODAY (Monday, 11/9) but I originally was holding the giveaway open until Monday 11/16. So I’m going to keep it open for another week, so if you want to enter you still have time! Sorry, Trisha…maybe you’ll still win!
Head back to the post to enter. And last, but not least – the winner of last week’s Rosebud Cards giveaway!! The winner is Trisha!! Congrats, Trisha!! Enjoy your free cards!! Here are her favorites:
And a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE ‘Thank You’ to Rosemary of Rosebud Cards for offering this very generous giveaway to Likely Design readers! Your card idea is absolutely adorable, and Trisha is a very lucky winner. I am so appreciative that someone would contact me because of my blog and offer to give something away for free that you worked so hard on. Thank you so much to everyone who entered – you guys rock!
It’s still open: enter the giveaway here!
And another exciting thing coming up – I submitted a guest post to Michelle over at the blog “When I Grow Up” about my path to becoming a creative professional. How exciting, right?!?! I’ll let you know when my guest post is up!! See you all tomorrow and have a great Monday…. xo, L.
