Creative girlfriend gift lessons – from you girlfriends! (and new contest prizes!)
Carole loves to make napkin rings from rope and wine corks. (And she’ll show us how in a future blog.) Jane loves the afghan her friend crocheted for her. Dana loves to knit scarfs and other wonderful accessories for her girlfriends. (And I know, because I’ve been the lucky recipient!) And last month’s grand prize winner was Veronica who told us about her girlfriend Gloria and the creative way that she helped her friend through tough times.
For the March Girlfriendology Contest we asked YOU for YOUR favorite creative, even ‘crafty,’ girlfriend gifts to give or receive. You shared some wonderful stories which we featured in our new podcast. Listen in for girlfriend inspiration!
One talented designer wrote in to tell us about how her girlfriends have inspired her to create jewelry. Personalities, favorite colors, personal style – Kristy Lee uses all these and her own creativity to come up with necklaces like the one you see here. Check out her web site to see her Girlfriend necklaces. And, thanks Kristy Lee for sharing!
The April Girlfriendology contest ‘goes green.’ Earth Day is coming up and we’re asking you to do a little ‘recycling!’ This month’s contest asks YOU for YOUR stories of girlfriends who have made an impact on you in the past – perhaps school friends or girls you knew growing up, maybe it is women you’ve worked with or neighbors you’ve known for a long time. Just share your story and you could win a prize.
Actually, you have a very good chance of winning a prize! Not only will we give out the five Starbucks gift cards and the Girlfriendology Journal, but we’ll also give away five NEW books from a future podcast guest. Send in your contest entry and be in the drawing for NOVEL DESTINATIONS: Literary Landmarks From Jane Austen’s Bath to Ernest Hemingway’s Key West by Shannon McKenna Schmidt and Joni Rendon. Who we’ll talk to on an upcoming podcast! So send in your ‘recycled’ girlfriend stories TODAY!
