It’s Friday the 13th. Do superstitious days like this bother you? I always feel like there is an air of creepy in the air. I think it’s because I watched too much Dateline as a child. Anywho, I think we should start this Friday the 13th off right……with a fun giveaway!
Have you seen the rings over at Blue Soul Designs?
Sarah (the lovely lady behind the great designs) contacted me about hosting a giveaway. Yes, please! How cute are these rings?

Sarah is recovering from a mold illness and Lyme disease. She needed an outlet and a way to help offset some medical costs so she opened her Etsy shop. Sarah’s designs reflect her love of the beach and nature. Many of her designs use natural stones. I was shocked at how affordable her rings are. Kind of seems like highway robbery!
Sarah is also offering free shipping for all Décor and the Dog readers. Just enter FREESHIP when you check out!
Would you like a chance to win one of Sarah’s beautiful creations?
- PRIZE: One ring of your choice from Blue Soul Designs
- TO ENTER (required): Visit Blue Soul Designs and pick your favorite ring. If you have some extra time you can also tell me about a New Year’s resolution that you made. Have you kept it or is it already a distant memory? Your comments keep me entertained at work. (Oops.)
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: January 15, 2011 at 11:59 PM CST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- OTHER STUFF: The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on January 16th. Check back to see if you are the lucky winner!
***I was in no way compensated for this post. I just think Sarah is a pretty talented lady and I thought you all would think so too ! Do you have an Etsy shop you’d like to promote? E-mail me!***
Also, I would like everyone single one of you to click here and vote for Kelly’s Upholstered Platform Bed. Do it. Now. Is the peer pressure getting to you? Actually I just really like Kelly…and her bed…and I think you should vote for her. If you want to. Love, the bossy blogger.
I love the Black Sardonyx Semiprecious stone ring! I feel like it's an eye!
ReplyDeleteMy New Year's resolution was to keep the kitchen clean (I know, not that exciting). My hubby and I are really into cooking and doing crazy things so the kitchen only gets cleaned right before we trash it again. So far I am holding to my resolution!
Absolutely love the Amethyst Wire Wrapped Ring!
ReplyDeleteThe Blue Agate is different and I love it!
ReplyDeleteLove the Swarvoski Crystal Wire Wrapped Ring!
ReplyDeletei love the amazonite wire wrapped ring!! gorg!
ReplyDeleteOur new year's resolution was to find a house. we have failed so far. whomp-whomp.
My fav is the orange and light jade colored ring. SO gorgeous! My sort-of resolution is to lose 10 lbs before a trip to California in February (like that's gonna happen.... ha!).
ReplyDeleteI love the Natural Turquoise wrapped in silver wire :)
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm, New Years Resolution - to be more organized (Xmas gifts got mailed late this year). Since I have a birthday card getting mailed today for a birthday tomorrow, I'd say I'm not doing so well...................
I love the Purple & Earth colored ring.
ReplyDeleteOne of my New Year's Resolutions is to get organized and do more crafts...I love them but don't have time because I'm not organized!
I love the swarovski crystal wire wrapped ring! I have some earring that would match perfectly:)
ReplyDeleteIt's not much for a resolution, but I'm a big reader and I have always wanted to keep track of my books. I joined goodreads.com and am now keeping track of my books for 2012!
First favorite, ocean colored glass bead. Second favorite, amazonite. Third favorite, purple sodalite... The more I look at them, the more they all become my favorites! I can't believe these prices!!!
ReplyDeletewell... I went ahead and bought my first favorite, just in case. and then pinned about 8 others. Great giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the Black Sardonyx and the Blue Jasper. As for New Year's resolutions, mine is to take better care of myself.
ReplyDeleteAgreed on the creepiness of today, for me it stems from too much Unsolved Mysteries as a child. I digress.....
ReplyDeleteVoted for the bed, so cute!
Love the Amazonite wrapped ring. I am magnetically drawn to anything turquoise! All of the rings are gorgeous, and the prices are great!
I have set a resolution for each month, as we are redoing our house room by room. So a room every month or two..... Going well so far!
Whoa, that really is highway robbery. Those are gorgeous rings! I think my favorite is the snowflake obsidian. I think. I might change my mind in 10 minutes because they're all so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI actually really like the Natural Pearl Wire Wrapped Ring you featured up top! Simple and pretty.
ReplyDeleteMy new years resolution is pretty easy to keep -- I told myself I wouldn't let my clean laundry sit unfolded in the basket for more than a day.
I like the Earth colored wire wrapped ring! Thanks for the giveaway. :) My resolution was to make my lunch the night before for each work day. (There's nothing worse than being late because my tuna fish sandwich took too long to make.) So far, so good!
ReplyDeleteI like the Wire Wrapped Ring, Silver colored bead because it's small and simple.
ReplyDeleteIn 2012, I'm not going to waste my unpaid lunch hour anymore. It only takes me 10 minutes to eat, so this year I'm going to read for the the rest of the time instead of heading back to my desk early or frittering away 50 minutes I'm not being paid for on chatter I don't enjoy. It's only January 13th, but I'm already through 2 thousand page books and onto a third.
I love the natural pearl wire wrapped ring!
ReplyDeleteI can't accomplish my resolutions until I am cleared to start running again. Which reminds me, BTW, I think we should run a race together. For realz. I promise you'll like it, or I'll never make you do it again.
I really love quite a few of the rings, but the one that caught my eye first is the 10mm Blue Jasper Semiprecious Stone, wire wrapped ring I love blue and silver and it tends to go with everything I wear!
ReplyDelete2012 I would like to read a few more books as well as cook more but so far I've really only done the reading aspect!
Love the Wire Wrapped Ring in natural. So pretty. I don't make resolutions but do try to make each year better.
ReplyDeleteI like so many, but really like the sea glass and amethyst.
ReplyDeleteThese are so affordable! Love them all but my favorite is the Amazonite Wire Wrapped Ring.
ReplyDeleteLove the amozonite wire wrapped ring. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAs for resolutions... I posted mine at http://mom2will.blogspot.com/2012/01/our-contract.html
Not too funny to laught at while you work. But the amount of baby weight and fat I have makes me laugh at times... then cry. ha ha (oh and my "baby" is 3 now- um- so I guess I have to find a new excuse, right?)
Have a good weekend!
I like the amazonite
ReplyDeleteI don't make resolutions...I always end up breaking them
Wow, what a great shop. They are all beautiful but I think the amazonite is my fav.
ReplyDeleteMmmm. I'm enjoying the looks of that blue agate coin ring. But they are all pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteI like the Purple & Earth colored. Fun shop!
ReplyDeleteMy New Year's resolution is to be more healthy. I hope that losing weight will come as a result of that, but eating more organic/less processed and being more active are the top priority. So far, so good!
I love the Wire Wrapped Ring, Silver colored bead because it reminds me of a ball of yarn. My New Year's resolution was to unsubscribe from unwanted email lists. It has been pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI love the Amazonite Wire Wrapped Ring! So cute!
ReplyDeleteThe orange and light jade ring is my favorite, by far! New Year's Resolution? Continue eating organically as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteI love the Wire Wrapped Ring, Carnelian Semi-precious stone, it is gorgeous and so unusual! Love the color!
ReplyDeleteThe turquoise ring is delicious!
ReplyDeleteI heart the bossy blogger. THANK YOU my friend!!
ReplyDeleteThese rings are beautiful. I love the
Amethyst Wire Wrapped Ring. I'd wear it every day and think of that time you used peer pressure to help me get votes. :)
Oooooh - pretty! I think I like the Blus Jasper the best. As for new years resolutions, I'm another 2 lbs down, woop woop! I'm beginning to feel like it's going to be harder and harder to lose though... It's nice to be close to your goal, but shouldn't that mean it gets easier, not harder?? ;)
ReplyDeleteLike the crystal wire wrapped ring!hope I win!
ReplyDeletej.wallace
I went to her site, and I was like, "I like that one, no that one, no definitely that one!" What talent!
ReplyDeleteI finally chose the 10mm Blue Jasper Semiprecious Stone, wire wrapped ring.
As for my new years resolution...I don't think I really made one, but I have made the bed every day since the first. Does that count? :)
I use to like you, Michelle. Then you had to go and make me decide on my favorite ring from a selection where each one is as beautiful as the one before. I simply can't do it. I would love to win any one of the rings.
ReplyDeleteBTW, my New Year's resolution was to be more decisive. Guess I blew that one.
I would choose the breast cancer awareness ring.
ReplyDeleteNew Years resolution? I can't take the failure so I don't do them.
I like the pearl/silver, but as the others have said they are all beautiful! I just tend to wear neutral things.
ReplyDeleteI should get the lyme disease ring since my name is Sarah and I also have lyme.
Love her rings. My favorite is the amazonite. Gorgeous colors.
ReplyDeleteI love the earth colored one.
ReplyDeleteMy resolution was to walk every day, alternating which dog I take with me. (because there is NO way I'm walking both of the little monsters at the same time)
Progress: total fail. No more details, I don't want to embarrass myself with how badly I fail at my resolution.
I'd go with the amazonite wrapped ring. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI resolved to do 20 push ups a day. So far, so good. Last year, I did 10 push ups a day.
I'm having a really hard time picking one, but I love the Lyme Disease Awareness ring. The green is awesome.
ReplyDeleteAs far as a New Year's Resolution... I didn't really make one, so I guess I've been totally successful at not changing anything. Go me!
I like the natural pearl wire wrapped. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love the amazonite wire wrapped! Gorgeous! One of my new year's resolutions is to be brave and start my own blog! You are helping me in that endeavor! Thanks for the giveaway:0)
ReplyDeleteThe Lyme Disease ring is my fav. I can't pass up the green.
ReplyDeleteI didn't make a New Year's Resolution as much as I did goals for the new year (is it the same thing?). One was to have a no computer/TV Sunday so that we focus on doing stuff as a family. I can't remember if we've kept this goal, but I'm reminded to try it this weekend. We'll see if we can do it.
I love the amethyst ring!
ReplyDeleteI love the lyme disease awareness ring!
ReplyDeleteI love the wire wrapped natural pearl wring. It is simply classic and can be worn with anything.
ReplyDeleteNicki
My favorite is the Back sardonyx ring. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMy NY resolution was to buy a treadmill as part of my "no more excuses" plan. I did. Next year my resolution may be to use it regularly. ;-)
My favorite is the Wire Wrapped Ring, Carnelian Semi-precious stone...so pretty, and thank god, we can ask for a different size!
ReplyDeletemy new year's resolution? to be more organized...especially that i have a coming baby!
katch05 at gmail dot com

ReplyDeletemy resolution this year was to work on the gift of hospitality. i threw my first little party on friday, and it was a success! i can't wait to do it again or to host a friend's baby shower :)
jane
fabulous giveaway!! my favorite item in her shop is the Amazonite Wire Wrapped Ring
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome giveaway (and a great Etsy site - I've already bookmarked it for future birthday gift shopping!)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the Blue Agate Coin Stone Ring.
I don't do New Year's resolutions, but this year I am trying to make more of an effort to send handwritten cards/notes to people in my life "just because" as a way to let them know how grateful I am that they ARE in my life.
Thanks again for hosting this awesome freebie, and keep up the great work on the blog - I love it!
Kim
I love the Wire Wrapped Natural Turquoise and Filigree Ring! The moment I saw it I knew it was the one I wanted! Oooooo I hope I get it!
ReplyDeleteMy new years prayer is that I will be diligent and accomplish what I am inspired to do. Interior decorating!
Natural pearl wire wrapped ring ... Gorgeous!
