Contest ~ BumbleBeeBead

I have joined forces with the lovely Mrs Jonua Besnard to host a giveaway.

Here's the idea straight from her blog:

Contest Encore!

I said I would post on the November contest, but I have turned it into a NOW contest!

It will run through the end of August. Basically it is very simple.

The point of the game is to see how many people you can get to fan mine, and Katie Wiseman's Facebook fan page. You must tell people, when they LIKE thetwo pages to leave a comment that you sent them, so we will know once we count them at the end of August. The winner with the most referrals wins!

Again, the good part. The prize. Katie Wiseman will be giving away one of her handmade reversible tote bags. It is simply gorgeous. Katie does very thorough and intricate work. I will be giving away a $30 gift card to my store,J. Rachel Besnard Designs.

We will announce the winner on September 1st. Good luck!!!

Jonua's BIO:

Me. I am from West Virginia in the United States. I grew up in a very small town and went to the same school as Katie. After graduation I started college and left halfway through. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I ended up moving around a bit and had the chance to live in NYC for six months! After I moved back I settled into a job and a year later I went back to school to finish my degree. I ended up with a degree in Geography. I did a short study abroad and met my husband Florian. We had been penpals for five years, and immediately after meeting we were dating, and in less than one year we were married! I moved to Paris and started to learn a whole new language and culture. It was scary at first because I did not know what I would do for work, so I started playing around with jewelry. Over one year later here I am starting a new business and feeling more passionate about this than any other job I have ever done in my life!
