Charm Factory | Charm Bracelet | Review and Giveaway
September 3, 2009 by admin - Jennifer
Filed under Giveaways
I recently got the wonderful opportunity to review a bracelet designed by me (well I picked the charms) and I made this one a special bracelet. I made it so it kind of told my life story. And being that I love jewelry I was so excited that I got this opportunity!
Charms I added are:
- LMAO – Because I like to laugh and I use it everyday.
- Cell Phone – I love my new Blackberry!
- Dancer – I love to dance and it is a big part of my life.
- Florida – It’s where my roots are after more than 25 years here.
- Scales – Because I am a Libra!
- Baby Footprints – I love my children, they are my world!
- Handbag – They are my passion and the one thing I would blow the lottery on
- Letter J – Because I am Jennifer of course!
Of course these are just 8 charms from the hundreds that you can choose from. I had a tough time putting one together and after several designs decided to find things that defined me, in a small way of course, but I have received tons of compliments on how pretty it is and when I tell someone what each one stands for they say that it is a very nice bracelet.
I am excited that I am able to host a giveaway from the Charm Factory too. One lucky Dirty Shirt reader will win a bracelet and 8 charms of their choice. See rules below to enter to win today…
