Blog Makeovers & Necklace Winners Announced!!!

Posted on 09:47 by Unknown
WOW, I am thrilled with all the incredible words, comments, and support for my new blog design, all thanks to my wonderful friend Maria @ Agape Love Designs.

None of this would be possible without her big kind heart offering to give my blog a complete makeover. Remember she refused to accept any money for this, so I showed her my appreciation another way. By offering 4 lucky winners either a mini blog makeover, or a beautiful bib necklace.

Before I announce the winners though, I wanted to share one more things about Maria, and her jewelry. 
Last week she did a post on her birds nest necklace (READ IT HERE). She held a giveaway and the winner of that necklace requested if Maria could somehow symbolize a baby she has in heaven without actually adding it to the nest, causing all kinds of confusion for someone when they ask about the third child. 

Maria is no stranger to losing a baby, she had two miscarriages of her own, and she knew exactly what to do. She placed a white pearl in the chain of the necklace, just like an angel looking over the nest. It was just perfect, and the winner of the necklace was left without words, she was so happy with her precious new gift. I just wanted to share this new necklace with all of you, and if you or someone you know has a heaven baby, maybe you would like to get one of these custom birds nest necklaces too.
While you are at there, make sure to read her entire post, it is really moving, and her video she took several years ago after going through her miscarriage is just raw, and from the heart. My heart just ached, and while I've never actually met Maria in person, I feel like she is a super sweet, great friend, and I just wanted to wrap my arms around her, and tell her everything was going to be ok. I really love this gal, and I am so blessed she is my friend. Head on over to her blog and say hi, tell her Bella sent you, and show her some love, will you?

Ok now it's time to announce the winners! I'm so excited, YAY!!
