Musings on Monday...Begging & Pleading Edition

Greetings, my friends! It's a happy day here at the Bee and Rose! I have been blessed by Kristen over at La Dolce Vita as a Featured Reader this week!

La Dolce Vita

Many of you are familiar with Kristen, her blog and her FABULOUS Etsy shop! She is the amazing creator and designer of the most amazing hand-stamped jewelry! I'm always skulking around over there drooling all over the goodies....cyber drooling...no worries!

Here are a few of my favorite pieces....





I went crazy silly when I saw her "I love you more" necklace! My kids and I have a sweet ritual where we say this to each other all day long. And the "Good Witch" necklace is absolutely perfect to wear to all of my Black Crow Boutique events! I purchased one of her "dog tags" for my son who wears it all the time! Very cool!

Because Kristen is a very generous soul, she is giving me an opportunity to win one of her amazing necklaces! Every time one of you, my sweet bloggy friends, visits the Featured Reader post (about me) on her blog and leaves a comment, I get a vote! Woo Hoo!

(ON MY KNEES....BEGGING...PLEADING....for realz....)

You can vote for me (by commenting on that post at her blog) once a day for up to 7 days from the time the interview is posted! I need a minimum of 10 votes over a weeks time to be included in the contest. (Even one teensy vote is perfect!)

I would LOVE to win anything from Kristen! (This is the part where I start begging and pleading with even greater desperation...I'm not proud....I can beg with the best of them!)

So what can I do to bribe ya'll out of some votes? You want some eye candy??? Maid service? A professional chef for a month? How about some porn?

(I know...you've seen this over here before, but what can I tell ya? I love it when hot guys clean house!)

I really appreciate it!! If you haven't already become acquainted with Kristen, I hope you'll head on over! Her blog is fantastic! (and you might find a little treasure or two for yourself too!)

Wishing you the happiest of Mondays!

xoxo


ps...As many of you know, Blogger kidnapped me and removed me from all of the blogs I followed recently. If I followed your blog, I still do...a blogger fail (some dumb code issue) won't all me to re-join via Friend Connect.) I still can comment and hope to be back to regular commenting this week. We are preparing for an Irish dance competition and I haven't much blogging time. I hope to resume normal commenting after today! Thank you all for understanding!

Those are all so stinkin' cute! I'll go and vote for you right now! :0)
Congrats on being featured! Those necklaces are so wonderful. My mom and step-dad have been saying "I love you more" to each other for over 11 years now, and seeing that instantly reminded me of them and their wonderful relationship.


Thank you deeply for your caring comment, honey. I hope you're having an excellent week.

(Update! Comments are now closed for the Monster Giveaway! Thank you for participating!) Whooo's 100? I am! This is my 100th post! To say I am astonished and humbled by the incredible support of my blog from fellow bloggers, friends and family would be an ginormous understatement! I am truly, deeply grateful that ya’ll stop by and visit me! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! (I had this scheduled to post at midnight, but for some reason, it didn't! I got up to check it about 1:30 am and discovered blogger's mischief! Sorry if you came by then!) All righty then…do you have a cup of coffee, hot cocoa, tea, martini? How about a masseuse? You’re gonna need it! It’s my 100th post and by the time you are done reading it, you’ll probably feel as old and tired as Rip Van Winkle! You know me and my long winded rambley-ness! (....the giveaway is here..I promise!) So, this is what I’ve come to know about blogging in the last 100 days…. Blogging is like taking a vacation to a place you n

Tuesday's Tribute...Heartbeat..It's a Lovebeat

Yet Another Jay and Deb Production. I am paying my Tuesday's Tribute to Chilly. Today we celebrate our first Heartaversary. What is a Heartaversary, you ask? Well, settle in with a cuppa and let me weave a tale of wonder... One year ago today I was pacing the waiting room floor of University Medical Center in Tucson waiting for my husband’s surgeon to inform me if Chilly had survived his triple bypass. I’ll spare you the sordid details of how all this came about. I’ll just say that it was very fast and unexpected. The prospect of losing my spouse in my early 40’s wasn’t in my plan obviously. My plan was more of a “hanging with the kiddos, going to the Renaissance Faire, beating my son at Guitar Hero, driving my husband crazy for decades” kind of plan. But God always has a bigger plan for us. In this case, he was trying to keep Chilly on the planet for a while longer. As I have written before, Chilly has had two very challenging years. He has been a diabetic for a couple of decade

Tuesday's Tribute: Sharing the Love Giveaway!

As promised, I’m dedicating my Tuesday’s Tribute to all of you! Your kindness and support has meant the world to me! My life has been forever changed by all of the bloggy love I have received since Dec. 31, 2008. Thank you! My 100th post is coming next Monday. As I shared with you previously, I'm hosting a Monster Giveaway to say THANK YOU for your incredible support of my humble blog! There will be details in my 100th post on how to enter! I've gathered a HUGE amount of goodies for my giveaway! I am taking a poll over the next few days to help me determine if I should break it into several groups of goodies or offer one big lolla-pa-looza! (Just vote over on the left sidebar. I really appreciate your input!) I’ve had a few emails asking me how I chose the items for this extravaganza. I am sharing my favorite things with you! I am also throwing in a few things chosen by Tween Caveboy and Miss Kitty. Plus, I’m adding some fun items from my own shops, Black Crow Boutique and Mon
