UPDATED w/WINNERS: Congratulations to Stephanie from Musings of a Modern Day Mom and SamnHal of The Married Couple (y’all email me, k?) The rest of you go buy yourself something nice at La Bella Jewels. You deserve it.


Sometimes you don’t need words to describe something beautiful.
La Bella Jewels speak for themselves.
La Bella has been a long-time sponsor of my blog and she has fallen in love with the life-changing blog of Kisses From Katie. She created this gorgeous necklace, specifically for the amazing ministry that feeds, clothes, covers and even provides chickens for poverty-ridden orphans: Amazima (translated to mean truth).
And she’s sending Katie one!
This sterling silver dainty necklace is gorgeous, $30
She is generously donating HALF of the proceeds from this necklace to Amazima!!
Would you consider supporting Amazima by purchasing this beautiful necklace too, so others will know the truth?
Please leave a comment as your entry. This giveaway will close Thursday.





























These are beautiful pieces and love that she is paying it forward.

I love "kisses from kate" –what an amazing ministry! What an amazing woman!
Beautiful, lovely, & for a good cause! Thank you!
Wow! The glitter of the jewelry caught my eye, but when I went to Katie's blog, she captured my heart. I got married just after I turned 21, and many people said I was too young. Marriage is a piece of cake compared to what Katie is doing!
Wow! Those are beautiful!
How AWESOME is that!?! Would love one!
Great project, great idea!

I would love to sponsor a child too! My family just cannot afford it right now.
We have had a rough 2 years financially.
Soon, we will be back on our feet and able to do what our heart longs to do in the world of giving!
Those are beautiful!
We will be moms soon, and can't wait to have jewlery with our baby's name on it!
I love it and I love Kisses for Katie!
It never ceases to amaze me how blogging can reach so many with a message. I had never heard of this organization. What a great cause.
Beautiful pieces..and congrats on Kenya…what an amazing opportunity!

I don't know if I'm doing this right. However, I know you love this line and that one of your favorites comes from this designer. I would have my precious angels names out on it. I always look at her collection. But never have extra for me.. Always kids stuff! I would love and cherish is forever! Whoever wins… Congrats to YOU!
Those are just beautiful!
I have been wanting one of these and hope to get one for Valentine's Day!
Beautiful! Very personal!

Thanks for your great encouragement with a heart for orphans. I would love to win one of these.
Beautiful jewelry and so sweet for donating to such a wonderful cause
Gorgeous jewels and I'm sure Katie will greatly appreciate the giving hearts behind this latest design. Her blog has been such an inspiration to me this past year, as has yours.

What beautiful jewelry!
I like the hand-made look and uniqueness. I have an old bracelet that was my great aunt's that has names on separate pieces of silver. It is probably from the 1920's.
I've been wanting to purchase jewelry from Bella for a long time to remember my baby, Elisabeth, who was stillborn just over a year ago. I'd be grateful to win the gift certificate. Just beautiful. Thank you.
her creations are gorgeous!! I love that she is donating her proceeds to such a worthy charity!
She has beautiful pieces.
Beautiful jewelry!

These are just beautiful!
Beautiful! I love all the kids' names!

Kisses from Katie is such an inspiration. What a beautiful way to show support.
Fantastic jewelry AND cause! I might buy a piece from her for my soon to be sister-in-law!
I loved all your thoughts about starting out.
Work from home India
love it!
I tried to comment earlier in the week but (I don't think) it went through!
This necklace is a beautiful tribute to a beautiful cause! I am so glad she's sending Katie one!
I can't believe how beautiful they are! What an amazing chance.
Thank You!

Beautiful jewelry for a great cause
I was hoping to look at some of her pieces but the links to her site are no longer active–was it a temporary thing?
