the (very beautiful) legacy bracelet give-away

by Rachel Marie Martin
**giveaway now closed**

{my legacy bracelet in bella}

This is one of the hardest give-away posts I’ve ever written. I think I’ve got such emotional attachment to this extraordinary piece of jewelry that I’m nervous my words won’t do enough justice.

Each bracelet is custom made. With your photos. Of those dear to you. See my Samuel on my arm? That could be your photo. Your children. Your love. Your memories. Your story.

Births, Anniversaries, Mother’s Day, Remembrance, Family. Personalized.

I’ve already been stopped by individuals asking about it. And it gets me talking. Remembering. About my kids. About Samuel. And Celiac Disease. And hope. Joy.

The winner of this giveaway will receive one Legacy Bracelet in the Bella Design. You’ll simply choose your favorite photos and send them to Legacy Bracelets. You could also choose a saying or a Bible verse if your kiddos don’t fill up the band – like my seven kids did. 😉

It’s one of a kind. It’s personal.

And Legacy Bracelets is incredibly dear to my heart — Amy {the same Amy I write about, the one who sat next to me in the hospital with Samuel, and my dear dear friend}– is one of the owners of Legacy Bracelets. And I can tell you, can guarantee you, that each piece is created not only to perfection but with intense care and love. Her passion and zest for life is reflected in the quality and beauty of the work.

I am honored to give one away.

Would love one of your own? Here’s how to win your own Bella Bracelet (a $60 value)…

Mandatory Entry 
~Tell me who the bracelet would be for.
You? Your mother? A daughter? Friend?

~Facebook, tweet, or blog this giveaway {extra entry for each one you do}
~Follow finding joy {and if you do just let me know}
Make sure to leave a separate comment for each entry!

 This is to make sure that all your comments count, and to help my tired brain tally.  Giveaway runs from today (the 6th) and ends on the 12th, CST. Winner will be announced on the 13th!
 And who knows? It could be you. 🙂

{ legal stuff — this giveaway is for a bracelet donated by legacy bracelets valued at $64.20 USD.
I did not receive any additional compensation for doing this giveaway.}

Goodness, the bracelets are beautiful. I think I like the Avery the best, but if I ordered one, I would probably order the Evelynn. I tend to wear more neutral colors, and not sue the Avery would go with what I wear. 🙂

The comment above is mine too. :S Oops.

It would be for my daughter. Shes only 7 but family has always been most important to her. She made herself a little ‘book’ that is titled ‘family’ and has all the photos of, you guessed it, her family. She takes it to every sleepover and has taken it to school for show and tell. I’m writing this because just the other day she lost her Grandma and in a sudden car accident. She is still young but I know she would treasure this dearly.

Cheers,
Danielle

I would love a bracelet like this, but really I would want one for my sister. She had a bone marrow transplant in October and has had a very rough recovery. She has not been able to see her children (8,5,4) very much because of her recovery and the amount of sickness in the air this year. We are taking care of her children while she is recovering and sometimes I wish there was something more I could do for her while she is fighting to return to “normal”. These are beautiful bracelets, and a neat way to keep those close to your heart, well…close to your heart. 🙂
