I met Lisa Leonard at Blissdom.
Actually, I recognized her from across the room and raced over to introduce myself. She was so gracious and kind as I fluttered around and gushed about how much I loved her work.
Lisa makes beautiful jewelry with her very own hands. Each piece is a work of art that can be worn with your jeans or your little black dress.
The thing I love the most about Lisa is the reason that she started making her timeless jewelry...so that she could quit her job and be at home with her two boys. I think that makes each piece a little labor of love for her own family.
Because she is a mother, it comes as no surprise that she has created the mama necklace that actually brought tears to my eyes when I saw it. Every mama that I know (including this mama) would love to receive this necklace for Mother's Day. It's on May 10th, so there's time to order.
hand holder. dream soother. love giver. mama. Here come the waterworks again!
Lisa has generously offered to give one of my readers a $50 gift certificate to her shop. Take a look around her shop, Lisa Leonard Designs, and tell us what you love.

Kimba, Lisa's Jewlery is very unique and I love all the custom designs. My daugter is pregnant, due with her fourth! Wouldn't that Mama necklace be a perfect mother's day gift for her. I would love to be entered in the gift certificate giveaway! Thanks.
I love Lisa's jewelry! I have fallen for the "be still" necklace.
I love everything on her website. What a creative mom!

Simple is always my preference... I love the "cherish" necklace!
I have a friend who has a piece and it is beautiful!
I am a new mother, so I am partial to the "mama" necklace and the "family" necklace.
Those are simple and lovely. I am generally not a jewelry gal, but I would love to wear those pieces.

What a thoughtful and generous giveaway! Lisa's designs are all so lovely - it was hard to choose a favorite. Still, I think "the original necklace" is my top pick. So elegant, simple, and special. Thanks for the opportunity to win a gift certificate to Lisa's shop.
What an awesome giveaway! I also love her work! I bought my daughter-in-law-to-be one of her necklaces for Christmas. She loves it and practically wears it every day. She's such a talented designer! How neat to have had the opportunity to meet her. = )
Blessings,
Tracy
Ooooo I really like the little birdie necklace. They are all really beautiful and i would be happy to wear ANY of them :-)
Wow...such neat jewelry. I love the "Be Still" necklace as well as the Mama necklace, as this is my first Mother's Day as a mom!
Lisa's jewelry just takes my breath away. I love the mama necklace and the family tree. The softness of her designs is so pleasing. It would be a joy to wear any of the pieces. Thank you for sharing.
I really love the bird necklace, thanks for the chance to enter this giveaway, we all could use some spoiling for Mother's Day. :-)
Gorgeous! I love everything with the little birdies.
Hi, this is a wonderful giveaway. Thanks for offering it. I love all of her jewelry.

The courage necklace is my favorite- it brought tears to my eyes. After I lost my dad to cancer - that word became my word, and gave me courage to heal from the pain....
Pretty! I love the family or wish necklace and the lots of love necklace and the mama one. Oh heck they are all so nice. Hard to pick just one.
I love her creations! I love the mama necklace!
Thanks, Kimba for hosting this giveaway. I love, love, love Lisa's designs! I especially like the family tree and captured heart necklaces - to show how important family is to me.
I love Lisa's jewelry, and have ordered three pieces for gifts, but have yet to own one for myself. I love the double heart cuff!
LOVE IT ALL!!! So many beautiful pieces! My favorites are the Family Tree, the family cuff bracelet, the teeny initials necklace.... ha! I could go on and on! :) Thanks for an amazing giveaway!!
that be still necklace is gorgeous!
i want it and think that i must get it.
Oh, Lisa's stuff is amazing!!! I don't know if I can pick just one fave from her stash! I do love the tiny squares inital necklace.
I'm off to link your giveaway to my blog.
i <3 the sweet and simple birdie AND the sterling silver ring. Decisions, decisions. I love her stuff!!
Wow, I love those designs! I love nothing more than personalized items, specially ones for us moms to show off our babies!
I think I would pick the double heart cuff. I do love the courage one too though.... it could have several messages, my grandma through cancer, another family member with a addiction battle (not drugs).

The lovebird cuff would be my favorite if I had to pick, but really, all of the jewelry is beautiful. It is unique and charming without being flashy--somehow it is understated and bold at the same time! Very nice pieces.

What beautiful jewelry...I am smitten by the ring and lots of love necklace.
I LOVE Lisa's designs! My husband bought me a necklace for Valentine's day last year with our then almost-brand new baby's name on it. :) Now that "brand-new" baby is a 16-month old toddler that calls me "mama". I'd LOVE the "mama" necklace. :)
Thanks!
