Okay, this is it for our Etsy giveaways. Next week is the big finale and we’ll have prizes from Shade Clothing, Creative Labs, and Spanx so you won’t want to miss out on that. On to today’s prizes!
1. $35 Gift Certificate at Christine Kangas Jewelry Design
More beautiful jewelry, but this stuff is unique and original in its own way (just like all our other jewelry artists…amazing women!) Christine’s jewelry is refined and whimsical at the same time. She uses lots of glass and wood in her pieces, and mixes metal with beads, wire with fabric. She uses basic materials in very creative ways – you’ll have to take a look at her shop to see what I’m talking about. It’s wonderful!
I don’t know if you can tell from these pictures, but these jewelry pieces are made with fabric. All her jewelry is beautiful, but her fabric covered stuff is totally fresh and fun. Her designs range from classy to zany, and I love how she incorporates textiles into her pieces. I’ve never seen this before, so I’m totally impressed. I can’t put all my favorites here, you’ll just have to check out her store.
Best of all, Christine Kangas Jewelry Design is offering a 20% discount to Vanilla Joy readers, so find something you like and get it on sale. Thanks, Christine!
2. Shopping List Notepad from Jot it Down
Lately I have been spending waaay too long at the grocery store because I’m not very strategic about my list making. I go through the recipes I’ll be using during the week and write down things we need as I go. This means I end up with cream cheese right above pasta and below toothpaste (not for dinner, for the bathroom…). I wander around the store and almost always forget something. It’s so frustrating!
So when I saw the adorable Original Shopping List notepad by Jot it Down, I knew it could really help me out. I know I could make a list like this on my own, but it would definitely not be so cute and colorful. Besides, I love any product that increases my organization! With a son who does not like to shop, saving time is key, and this list will definitely help me get in and out much faster.
This is my favorite product from Jot it Down and is the prize for this giveaway, but she has other great list making helps as well like a menu planning chart, party menu, packing list for travel, and babysitter checklist. These would make great Christmas gifts for all your sisters and sisters-in-law. For $6-9 dollars each, you can afford to get one for everyone!
Thanks, Jot it Down!

Oh Ive always loved her shop – great earrings! And Im a sucker for making lists – count me in on this one!!

Wow I love those lists. Especially the Around the House list. I definitely added it to the favorites. As far as the jewelry they did not blow me away.

I like the Original Babysitter and Original FHE planner. I also like the Melony earrings!
Oh I love that Shopping List Notepad. I have the same problem; I make a list and then I am always running all over the store because everything is so jumbled on my list. I am a sucker for anything cute like that that helps me get better organized. :)
Love the “MORNING GLORY-Earrings” from Christine Kangas Jewelry Design. And love the vibrant color on the Jot it Down list.
What gorgeous jewelry. And the shopping list. Maybe that will help me stop wandering down aisle 3 in the grocery store 9 times.
I think the plum wine bracelet is really pretty. And i like the shopping notepad, great idea!
I love the shopping list! I need that to better organize myself!
Cute jewelry! I love the SEA-Turquoise Jasper-Necklace. That’s got to be my favorite!!
WOW!! The Vintage textile necklace is very pretty and the grocery shopping list would be very handy. Thanks!
Maybe I would be more apt to make a list if it was so DARN CUTE!!! And what woman doesn’t like JEWELRY! Especially the ribbon earrings.
I can’t pick a favorite from Christine-but all of her earrings are just beautiful…so that would be my favorite I guess. I really need those travel packing lists—they would be incredibly handy, since I have to organize and pack everything for my family, or they’d go with one shoe, five toys and no changes of underwear!
I love Kangas Conservatory/Fabric/wood/crystal bracelet. Gorgeous!
And Jot it Down’s Original This Week planner. Very nice and could really use one of these.
Thanks so much for the chance!
Wow, I LOVE the jewelry. My favorite is the morning glory earrings. Just beautiful!

That notepad from Jot it down is awesome

I have an unnatural attatchement to lists of all kinds so of course… I LOVE THAT NOTEPAD!
Wow so much to choose from, this is going to be hard! I think I like the textile hoops the best from Kangas! and as far as jotitdown goes I can use anything in the way of organization but I do love the original menu planner!
I love her ELSA earrings! Gorgeous!!
I love the Elsa earrings! Christine has beautiful jewelry!
I’m also an organizing freak and love my lists! I would love to win the shopping list!
I love the Plum Wine bracelet & Earrings from Christine’s shop, and I love the grocery list you have pictured, for sure. Also the Menu Planner might be really helpful at our house! I love all the colors of those lists!
Here’s hoping!

From jotitdown I really like the original shopping list. I try and separate, but that would be fantastic.

Fab-o stuff!! I love Jot it Down’s packing list. I always have to make one out when I get ready to go somewhere. And if I can only pick one favorite thing from Christine Kangas’ it would be the Budding Fabric Earrings. if I could pick another, it would be the Olive Branch Earrings :)
Okay…..it is always so hard t pick ONE….but I loved the Mosaic Necklace from Kanga’s and jot it down I loved the this week notebook! These are 2 great sites. Thanks!
I love lists! Jot It Down is wonderful – thanks for introducing it to me! My favorite is the packing list, because I am famous for forgetting important things like deoderant, phone chargers, a camera and even underwear!

Love the shopping list and although I love all of the jewelry, the fabric/olive jade bracelet and earing set is to die for!
The packing list would be really helpful.
Wow, that Kimono necklace is something else! And I love the shopping list — I always have to write my list twice so that it’s categorized, like this (I know, a little OCD).
FRAMED -AQUA Glass-Bracelet – LOVE it!
The Morning Glory earrings are beautiful! So stylish and chic! I also love the babysitter notes from Jot it down.
My favorites are the – SWEET CLOVER-Earrings and the menu planners. Thanks!
Great stuff! I love the FRAMED -AQUA Glass-Bracelet. The shopping list is a great idea, but I could really benefit from the meal planner.
I’m really loving all the jewelry designers you are showcasing! I never would have found these on my own. I love the fabric beads.
The turquoise and jasper necklace is beautiful. Turquoise reminds me of my grandmother who is Native American and beautiful :) The menu planner lists are a great idea as I can always use any kind of organization help with two toddlers.
I love lists! I might just have to order some of those great lists from Jot it Down. I love the Original This Week list.
I can’t believe that jewelry is made of fabric. So unique. I like the “budding” earrings and the “thistle” ones, too. They look like tiny flower buds.
Love the jewelry. My favorite is THISTLE-Metallic Fabric- Earrings. So unique and tasteful.
Love the Melony Bracelet and the Shopping List from jot it down.
top left set of earrings by Christine Kangas are to die for…….how very delicate…..of course…they are all pretty…but those were calling out….

I like the CECILY-Fabric/Glass/Porcelain-Bracelet from Christine Kangas and the Menu planner from Jot-itdown!
I love the This Week Pad from Jot It Down. With having two boys this would be perfect to help a busy mom organize.
And I love the POMEGRANATE-Textile/Quartz/Vintage metal-Bracelet and Earring Set from Christine Kangas jewelry. That color is so rich and they set has such a vintage feel I love.
I like the Original Shopping List too and my favorite jewelry is the Turquoise Jasper Necklace.
I like the Cecily bracelet – beautiful!
As for Jot It Down, I like the Shopping List. It would be so helpful if I could make my list in sections like that! Maybe then I wouldn’t walk all over the store a couple times every shopping trip!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I like the Sea Turquoise Jasper Necklace.

Cannot help but comment on the fantastic jewelry. Love it all. My special favorites are earrings and the store is going to be my favorite for them I can tell. I use anything, literally, to make notes and sometimes I even go around w/sticky notes on my clothes! So, the notepad is meant for me.
All the best to you and all Vanilla Joy bloggers in this Holiday season.
Sincerely
Marjorie
Awesome..really wonderful design.Thanks to share with us.
