…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
This is my biggest giveaway yet on My Crazy Adoption! On Valentine’s Day, I’m giving away 1 stunning “What’s in My Heart” necklace and 2 charms. (I know… I’m sooo excited too!) This is a value of $150 and includes the heart pendant, chain and 2 charms. These beautiful pendants allow you to insert a variety of charms to make a fully customized necklace.
The necklace and heart are both made of genuine Sterling Silver and the heart is approximately 1″ by 1″ and has a clear backing. Charms vary in size but are generally around 1/4″ (approx. 6-8 charms will fit in the heart). Hearts and chains are finished with rhodium to prevent tarnishing. It was even featured in People Magazine.
For goodness sakes, how do I win this crazy necklace?
You have a few ways to earn entries….

- 1 entry- share with me “what’s in your heart?” You can be mushy, gushy or silly. (I can’t wait to read these!)Â If you are too shy to share- then I want to know what your favorite candy is to eat on Valentine’s Day.
OK- all I need you to do is leave the number of entries you earn in 1 comment. (not one at a time, but all in 1 comment) You can earn up to 4 entries for this giveaway. Please don’t forget to add your first name and email. 1 winner will be randomly selected after my Valentine’s Day date with hubby. Winner will be announced at 8:00 PM right here at this post.

In my heart are my hubby & 2 precious boys I can squeeze every day AND a longing for my precious one who is waiting in India. In my heart is the confidence that God will bring him home at just the perfect time. Sprinkle in an intense love for helping people realize their dream to adopt, and that's a full heart. Of course there's also room for chocolate milk, coca-cola classic, and running. 🙂

My grandchildren are what's in my heart. I had my children when I was very young and I feel that I missed out on some of the best stuff by not realizing how wonderful those times really were. I am now blessed with four beautiful grandchildren and I watch them on the weekends because both parents work and even though it is A LOT of work I love being able to share these early years with them.
I read about a mother who is losing her child to cancer and it puts all of the little things that the kids do that get under my skin. I am so very grateful that they are all healthy wonderful children.
Thanks so much for the wonderful giveaway.
I voted for you.
