GIVEAWAY!!!!!

No school today in Middle Tennessee.  Some freezing rain and sleet fell this morning, but nothing treacherous.  It's just been a cold, dreary, drizzily day.  But I have good news...I am launching my first giveaway!

Today's Sweet Fringe Benefit are all of you...so many wonderful women (and a few men) that follow along, comment, text, email and encourage me on my journey to 50!  And as a thank you, I am giving away a beautifully spectacular Emaack Designs statement necklace.

My sister, Elizabeth Maack, designs and beads every piece of her jewelry herself.  She only uses  genuine stone, some semi-precious, sterling silver, swarovski crystals...top quality!  She's not a great marketer; she says she just likes to make the jewelry.  She's very modest about her talent, and I'm grateful that she's given me this spectacular piece to give away.  It's a three strand statement necklace, 17 1/2 inches long.  I am also including a 7 inch extender...as I love the option of wearing it both short and long.  It's made from sunstone, moonstone and mexican opal.  It would retail for $100, plus $15 for the extender.  This is a $115 giveaway.  Wooohooooo!  So, what do you need to do to win?

I've come up with three ways you can enter:

1.  Find your favorite Sweet Fringe Benefit post, and share it on Facebook! (Don't share this one...it's lame.)  When you "share" the post, be sure to tag me, Nanette Johnson, on Facebook. (Which means, enter my name in the comments about the blog post you are sharing, and my name should automatically pop up and be highlighted.)  There are social media icons below the post...click on the Facebook "F" and a box will pop up to share on facebook.  If you can't figure it out...ask one of your kids. 

2.  Give me a "shoutout" on Instagram.  Take a screenshot of the GIVEAWAY photo below, post it on your Instagram and hashtag #sweetfringebenefits and mention my blog address in the comments (sweetfringebenefits.blogspot.com) Simply state a Sweet Fringe Benefit in your life!

3.  You can also post a link to my blog within your own blog if you have one.  Just enter your blog address in the comments below so I will know you gave me that shoutout!


Every time you share a post, I will enter you in the Giveaway.  The contest will run from today through Sunday night, February 16th.  One entry per day. (Seriously...I don't think I'll have that problem...but I figure I'll say it anyway)

Self-indulgent?  Maybe.  But if this blog is going to go anywhere, I need to get my readership up. 

Outfit of the Day:  Ann Taylor navy/cream striped knit jacket, LOFT animal print blouse, A.N.A. pink cords from JC Penny, Hunter rain boots, Emaack Designs GIVEAWAY necklace (I didn't wear it all day...)  If you are wondering why I'm posting a selfie...then you need to read a few more of my blog posts...

Again, this GIVEAWAY is to thank all of you for encouraging me and indulging me in my quest to find the Sweet Fringe Benefits of my age...Goodluck!
