The prize Debbie has donated for this month’s Give Away is the drop dead gorgeous rosary pictured above. In her own words she describes it as a traditional Catholic, five-decade rosary. It is comprised of semi-precious 6mm Chrysocolla for the Avé beads and wire wrapped 8mm Lapis Lazuli with small copper accents for the Pater beads. Construction is sterling silver Argentium wire with brass chain and a base metal St. Benedict center and Pardon crucifix. These are both double sided.
This rosary is a $65.00 value, so please don’t miss out on a chance to win. This month's Give Away contest will end on Sunday, August 15 at 12:00 midnight. Hurry! Don't delay.
Okay…here’s the scoop! The Etsy Rosary Guild is a group of artisans who make beautiful, hand crafted rosaries and jewelry. We are dedicated to using our art as a witness to our faith as well as using it to help support ourselves and our families. Naturally, we want to let the world in on what we are doing, so we have decided to have a monthly Give Away Contest as a means of advertising our creations. We started doing this in June and so far, our Give Aways have been enormously successful. We are hoping that you would like to get in on the action.
You can enter as many times as you wish…no purchase necessary. However, if you find that you would like to buy something, we won’t stop you! :)
Here's what you need to do. We hope it doesn’t end up being information overload. We’ve tried to make it as simple and as painless as possible.
To enter, first visit Debbie's shop and take a look at all the beautiful items she has created. Find your favorite item and come back here and tell us about it in a comment on this blog. That's it! You're done...if you want to be. :)
Please be sure leave your email address on each comment that you make in the form of JaneDoe (at) anywhere.com. That way we will be able to contact you if you are the lucky winner.
If you would like to make more entries after visiting Debbie’s shop, here’s how you can do it.
- Enter one (or more) of the Guild Members' shops listed in the side bar on the right, find something you like and come back here and tell us about it in a comment on the blog.

Oh yes, this goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway. Guild members are not eligible to win. While this bums most of us out completely, it means y’all get more chances to win. :)
Thanks so much for taking the time to give us a look-see and thank you for entering.

Looking through Debbie's shop, I have to agree, she has so many beautiful items it's so hard to pick one favorite.
But I had to choose the "Lepidolite and Sterling Silver Fleur de Lis Catholic Rosary". Following stone meanings, Lepidolite is a very relaxing stone, helping to relieve stress and draw in positive energy and repel the negative. Also if used with rose quartz it becomes a stone of reconciliation of love, which can be a powerful combination.
And also in general the craftsman ship of the piece is stunning!
