It's My Party and I'll Give If I Want To!

It's my birthday today and my shop is reopen for sales! Getting finished with the face-lift of website was a great birthday present to myself and I am celebrating by giving away one of my new adult bracelets. 
Multi Bead Bracelet with Smaller Beads (click the title to view the bracelet in my shop)

It's my first giveaway ever, but I think that now I have a bigger selection of merchandise, I'll be having more of these little give-aways in the future. I'm thinking a baby Jude (my bun in the oven) giveaway with a St. Jude Chaplet, St. Andrew Chaplet giveaway for the advent season...if you are not already a follower or have this page bookmarked, you might want to do that for the awesome gifts coming your way!

For a chance to win the Multi-Bead bracelet, you must visit my website and pick your favorite item. Then come back here and leave a comment with what your favorite item is.  I will pick a random winner on Friday, August 6.  I will be emailing the winner, so if you choose to leave an anonymous comment, you have to either email me your email address or leave it in the comment box so I will have a way to reach you.

Lastly, I want to brief you on the upgrades I have made to rosaries. My previous rosaries were strung using fish-line. While they were strong (and didn't come apart like regular chain-linked rosaries) my new rosaries are upgraded with state of the art, Accu-Flex® Professional Quality Beading Wire. This wire consists of 49 individual strands of stainless steel wire that is nylon coated. This creates a rosary that is durable, beautiful and has a natural drape. As always, the rosaries and chaplets come with a lifetime durability guarantee.  If anything should happen to your rosary, I will fix it and restring it at no charge. 

You will notice a price difference in the new rosaries for a couple reasons- one being the upgrade described above and two being a more fair price for all the bead work involved. Remember, I don't just go to the store and buy beads.  I make each and every one- which is very time consuming and skill oriented.  

Now's your chance to win a handmade clay bead bracelet! Go to www.clayrosaries.com and pick your favorite item.  Then, then come back here to leave a comment and tell me what it is.

Good Luck!

P.S. if you notice any glitches on my website or if it runs really slow, please email me: sarahs_rosaries@yahoo.com.  You won't get an extra chance to win the bracelet, but you will earn lots of brownie points!

It's hard to pick just one favorite item from you website. The Multi-Bead Rosary with Crucifix and Silver Seed Beads is one of my favorites. The detail on the beads is amazing. Even after seeing some of your step by step pictures of how you design your beads I still can't figure out how you do it.

Boy what a hard task to choose just 1 favourite, you know me, I love all your work, but I guess if I really had to be nailed down to 1 I think it would have to be the Pro Life Rosary,..or the Red Rose Rosary, hmm I really do like the Immaculate heart Rosary too...Oh & the Rose Mosaic Bracelet & all the necklaces wow...but no you asked for 1 sooo.... I guess it really is the Pro Life Rosary...all those little feet...way toooo cute.
Have a great day Sarah & thanks for the generous give away.

Have a blessed birthday! St. Eusebius of Vercelli, St. Alphonsus Mary de Liguori, St. Stephen I, Our Lady of the Angels - Orate pro nobis.

I adore your St. Andrew Chaplet because of the rich and vibrant colors and the profound meaning behind the prayer/chaplet. I also really like the oxidized medal attached to the large round 'Star of Bethlehem' clay bead. The combination adds a certain rustic texture to the piece. Might I add that my dear friend, for whom you initially designed this chaplet, is now 30 weeks along. She had suffered several miscarriages prior to this, and she has had your St. Andrew Chaplet blesed by our priest. St. Andrew and the rest of us have been praying her through this pregnancy. Thank you Sarah for creating this magnificant chaplet which has brought hope to a young woman awaiting her baby's birth. Pax Christi.

Dear Sarah,
Have a blessed and happy birthday.
You have so many beautiful pieces that it is so hard to choice.
I love the Multi-Clay Bead Rosary with Crucifix and the Rose Mosaic Bracelet.
It is so hard.
I like the new look too.
God Bless

k-lin said...

Sarah--wow, you're so amazingly talented! The perfection and detail of the images in each bead is just amazing. Happy *late* birthday! After seeing you wear the chunky bead Immaculate Heart bracelet in LA, I'd have to say it's my fav. How did you set up the online store? I've been thinking about doing the same thing with Max cards at some point. Keep up the beautiful work!

Karen said...

Happy birthday! welcome to the homeschooling group, I look forward to seeing you and your little ones!

Mandy said...

Seriously, I LOVE the Pro-life rosary! Those feet are adorable!

OK...I also LOVE the Immaculate Heart bracelet.

Joanne said...

What a wonderful display of art that you have! My favorite is the Multi-Bead Rosary with Crucifix and Silver Seed Beads. I normally like gold, but there is something about the look of silver, I could really see myself meditating while praying with that rosary.
