    I am entering the contest although random.org despises me. Oh well. It is worth a shot at seeing my beautiful wife smile (when she opens it, of course).

  2. Susan on March 2nd, 2010 7:26 am

    What a beautiful bracelet, and I love the clasp. While Andrew is a nice guy for trying to win this for his wife, sure hope it’s me instead! :)

  3. Leah on March 2nd, 2010 7:28 am

    Wow, that is pretty! It would be too big for me though. Oh well. It’s still so pretty to look at! :)

  4. The Cotton Wife on March 2nd, 2010 7:45 am

    Apple cake!

  5. Holly the Knitter on March 2nd, 2010 7:58 am

  6. steve (owen meany) on March 2nd, 2010 8:09 am

    this looks lovely!

  7. Doris D. on March 2nd, 2010 8:16 am

    I love this bracelet. So colorful. My favorite meal is broiled crabcakes with a salad and baked potato.

  8. Carl H Martens on March 2nd, 2010 8:18 am

    Etsy is quite possibly the greatest site on the net. I just recently rediscovered it and this time I bookmarked it. I’ll soon be purchasing some record album coasters as soon as I find the band/album I want.

  9. Katy on March 2nd, 2010 8:20 am

    Well you asked for meal, so I have to say in the past week I’ve made the potatoe soup you posted 3 times (and I’m making it today). I do add a tiny splash of milk and garlic, but it’s darn right delish! So, there you go. I hope I win! I never do, but hey, there’s always a first.

  10. chocolatechic on March 2nd, 2010 8:38 am

    Mossy Mauve. I love it.

    If I win, I’ll give it to my girl for Easter…since she can not eat candy.

  11. Nellie Haulk on March 2nd, 2010 8:51 am

    That is very pretty. Me and my mom both love this kind of jewelry. It would make her a beatiful gift. Her birthday is in April. I hope that I win it for her.

  12. Julie at Elisharose on March 2nd, 2010 8:52 am

    Pretty. I love the clasp.

    One, because there are so many, of my favorite meals is tacos and guacamole.

  13. kerry on March 2nd, 2010 8:53 am

    oh, that is really pretty.

  14. Laurie on March 2nd, 2010 9:07 am

  15. warren on March 2nd, 2010 9:15 am

    Lacy, you know I love my jewelry, and that is beautiful. One of my favorite meals is Snapper Vera Cruz. Snapper fillet cooked in a spicy chunky tomato sauce served over rice or pasta. Mmmmm good!

  22. Auntie Katydid on March 2nd, 2010 11:19 am

    I’m commenting to comment, mind you. Not to win. (I never win when I’m actually TRYING to win. It’s my karma.) Anyway, my fantasy food today is some of that squash and carrot curry soup with feta and a nice crisp salad (maybe something with pecans and corn kernals?) with crusty bread spread with real butter — that cheesey french butter I’ve heard Anthony Bourdain mooning about. Mmmmmm.

  23. Amanda Mumm on March 2nd, 2010 11:43 am

    that is so pretty, and love the clasp.

  24. Dianne on March 2nd, 2010 11:59 am

    What a sweet, wonderful thing for you to do, Lacy! I’d have to say my favorite meal is my sister Gerry’s scrumptious roast beef, mashed potatoes and all those Southern vegetables to go with it! Oh and her awesome cornbread muffins!

  25. vicki pyburn on March 2nd, 2010 12:27 pm

    loaded nachos

  26. Shannon Clark on March 2nd, 2010 12:29 pm

    Love the bracelet! Love Mexican food too!

  28. Amy on March 2nd, 2010 12:48 pm

    You don’t have to enter me into the drawing, just wanted to leave a comment:) I can vouch for this jewelry, my jewelry box is full of Kathy’s handmade productions! She is my neighbor and best friend, so I’m a “lucky one”! I really do love her stuff, she custom designs for me. Kathy makes each piece with love, and I feel like I ‘m wearing her blessings:) She is a wonderful, caring friend, who is very creative and puts a lot of thought and time into her work. I have a post on my blog about her last jewelry party she held at her house, check it out. Thanks from a friend for featuring her, she is thrilled!:)

  29. MJ on March 2nd, 2010 1:02 pm

    Glad to visit your site. Kathy, my dear friend, makes awesome jewelry – thanks for featuring her!

  30. Laura on March 2nd, 2010 1:03 pm

    That is the prettiest bracelet I have seen in a while.
    I have too many favorites to just name one, but I will tell you what I’m craving…your hot chicken salad. I haven’t had that in a while. OOO, or your shoe peg corn salad…or beef stroganoff and spaetzel. See, I can’t even name just one meal that I’m craving.

  31. Maureen on March 2nd, 2010 1:21 pm

    I might be Irish but I have an Italian stomach. I love Spinach Rotolo in a marinara sauce. then to have a tiramisu as a sweet after dinner. YUM

  32. mollie bryan on March 2nd, 2010 1:24 pm

    Gorgeous bracelet.

  33. nfmgirl on March 2nd, 2010 1:38 pm

    Hmmmm. If I won this, I would find myself in a conundrum: Do I keep it for myself, or give it to my mother?

  34. Tina on March 2nd, 2010 1:43 pm

    oooh what a pretty bracelet. nice muted colors means it would go with anything. it is very pretty.thanks so much for the chance to win.

  48. Karen on March 3rd, 2010 3:20 am

    I am fortunate enough to live near Kathy and went to her last jewelry show and bought some awesome pieces (intended some for gifts but kept them all for myself!) I always love to have more of her beautiful things. Love! the bracelet!

  52. Vickie Fears on March 3rd, 2010 12:51 pm

    Beautiful bracelet! Stick my name in the pot please!
    My favorite meal is a heaping plate of pasta with homemade spaghetti sauce – hot Italian sausage, a little ground beef, spices and even some meatballs, with a big Caesar salad and homemade garlic bread! Wonderful!

  53. Sheila on March 3rd, 2010 2:07 pm
