Today we are Hosting a FRIEND DAY GIVEAWAY... (PRIZES CLAIMED)


Glitzy Glass Stars is Giving Away:
One Pendant to One winner;
One Glass Star to Another Winner;
FOUR Colored Glass Pendants to Another Winner (this winner gets to keep one pendant for herself and give the other pendants to three of her friends)

My next door neighbor Rhonda is an amazing friend. Why? Because she is fun to talk to, she loves my children (and all six of her own), she invited me to appear in an Infomercial with her (perhaps one day I will show it to you ;), she made beautiful and delicious desserts for a large family gathering I was hosting, and last summer when my daughter got a comb wound in her hair so tightly that it wouldn’t budge, Rhonda was the first person I called. She came over with her pick comb, motioned to the couch, and basically said, “Let’s get to work.” When a person spends two hours helping you to untangle a comb from your daughter’s hair, you know she's a good friend.

So when it was time to find Rhonda a gift for her birthday this past spring, I wanted to give her something that I knew she would love. One afternoon she stopped by for a visit and I was wearing a tee shirt with Audrey Hepburn's picture on it. She commented that she loves Audrey Hepburn and she loves pearls. The light bulb turned on. Earlier that week I had happened upon this beautiful Audrey Hepburn pendant necklace from Glitzy Glass Stars. And guess what? You can choose to have it hang from pearls. It is so unique and I knew it was the perfect gift for my friend:
And that’s not all. This pendant necklace is actually two necklaces in one. On one side I had Glitzy Glass Stars place Audrey Hepburn’s image and on the other I had them place the letter “R” for Rhonda (yeah, I know the letter below is a "P" so just imagine it's an "R" or if your name is Miranda imagine it's an "M", if you're a Jane imagine a "J", you get the picture).

I was able to give this lovely gift to Rhonda during her birthday party. The following day I received emails from some of the party guests wondering where I had found such an exquisite gift. One guest loved that you could wear the pendant on a strand of pearls or on a silver chain. Another guest commented that she could not believe how nice but inexpensive the pendants are (similar pendants are sold for twice as much at our local boutique). And a third guest wanted to purchase a pendant for a neighbor whose sweet daughter had passed away. She thought it would be wonderful to place a picture of her friend’s daughter on the pendant (Glitzy Glass Stars can custom create a pendant for you in .75" X .75" dimensions).

These comments from the party guests are just a few of the reasons I have been so excited to tell you about Glitzy Glass Stars. Another reason? Glitzy Glass Stars is giving away some very chic and elegant items to you today--and just so you know, I hope you win!

One lucky winner will be able to choose the pendant of his or her choice (I know what you are thinking "his" choice? But I say, if you have a honey, encourage him to enter to win today and everyday, because if he wins that means YOU win-- if you get my drift)
Another lucky winner will be able to choose a gorgeous glass star from Glitzy Glass Stars. I really want to get one of these glass stars for my in-laws. I know they would love it. By the way, that's Jen, the cute owner of Glitzy Glass Stars, with the stunning stars she has created in the photo below.
Glitzy Glass Stars also offers other items such as this:

And these:

And don't forget these very lovely and unique bracelets (they also have necklaces similar to these):
Now I would like to show you a favorite piece of jewelry that I own from Glitzy Glass Stars. And you can own one too--for FREE. Glitzy Glass Stars is offering the first five Give Away Today readers who make a purchase from them a FREE colored glass pendant (in the color of your choice). I own blue and let me tell you, it POPS! If you are one of the first five people to email Jen at glitzyglassstars@gmail.com with your order and mention Give Away Today, she will send you a FREE colored glass pendant--an $8.00 value.

And because today is our FRIEND DAY GIVEAWAY you have a chance to win FOUR of these stylish pendants (they will all be the same color and you get to decide which color that will be). If you are our winner, you get to keep one for yourself and give the others to three of your friends. How fun is that? You can enter to win the pendant or star of your choice from Glitzy Glass Stars up to FOUR times today.

For one entry, leave your first and last name in a comment.
Example: Jane Doe

For second entry, visit Glitzy Glass Star’s site here to look at their wide selection of products. Then return to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment, tell us what item you would love to own from Glitzy Glass Stars.
Example: Jane Doe: I would love a purple antique "E" with a mirror back pendant on a pearl necklace

For a third entry, in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name, the color of the glassy pendant you would want, and the three friends you would give the glassy pendants to if you are our FRIEND DAY GIVEAWAY winner.
Example: Jane Doe: Blue. Since I already own one, I would give them to my mom and my sisters Lisa, Kris, and Traci. I can't forget my sister-in-law Amy, so I would order one for her too. I think it would be fun if all six of us had the same pendant.

For a fourth entry, think of at least three of your friends. Now call, email, text, or send a Facebook message to those friends and tell them about today's giveaway on Give Away Today. Do you know what will happen? If they end up winning the FRIEND DAY GIVEAWAY they will give you one of the glassy pendants. So the more friends you tell, the more chances you have of winning a unique glassy pendant. After you have alerted your friends, in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and the first names of the friends you told.
Example: Jane Doe: Cathy, Kerry, GiGi, Sherrill, Jenny, and Rhonda (you know I can never stop at just three. These pendants are beautiful and I want my friends to share in the joy)

The winners of the lovely products from Glitzy Glass Stars will be announced Friday, July 17th. Please visit us then to see if you are our winner and to discover our new giveaways for the day. Thanks and have a great day!
