24 Merry Days #20 - Two Giveaways!- CLOSED

Thanks to the awesomeness that is 24 Merry Days, I have TWO giveaways to offer today! Two winners will be randomly chosen and there are a few ways to enter but first, a description of the prizes:

The first prize is the Lady Godiva Classic Robe ($92) by Eberjey. Made from super soft jersey with lace edging, this robe is as cozy as it is luxurious. I'm pretty sure I've never owned a robe this nice, but I'd sure like to. It's available in 6 colors-winner's choice. Eberjey makes some of the prettiest intimates around, don't you think?

The second prize comes to us from the super adorable gift/paper goods shop Pink Olive. This set includes a 'you are loved' mug, tote, art print, and stickers! That's right, everything pictured above in one sweet set. If you love paper goods and being surprised every month, you should definitely check out Pink Olive's subscription service, Olive Box.

Galaxy Ring

My dear friend and long time sponsor Beth Cyr is offering an incredible giveaway on her blog. A little about the galaxy ring:

I am giving away one custom ring in my new galaxy ring design. It is 5mm wide with stars and optional diamonds in my new palladium/silver alloy. The sample ring in the photos has one large star and 3 smaller stars and 3 2mm diamonds. Number of stars and diamonds is totally up to the winner (though, no more than 3 diamonds). ... It also include optional engraving. Value of the ring is $485.

A fun fact about Beth is that she made our wedding bands which I adore. She uses recycled metals and ethically sourced diamonds and if you're looking for someone to work with for an engagement ring or wedding bands, I definitely recommend her.

Check out the details on how to enter to win this ring right here. Hurry because the winner will be chosen tomorrow!

Giveaway: 8 Handmade Cards from Natty Michelle

I'm of the mindset that one can never have too many blank cards or packages of stationary.  I rarely buy cards at a store because I collect them and I enjoy having a constant selection in my drawer for every occasion, especially saying "thank you" which is my favorite type of card to give.

This weekend's giveaway is brought to us by southern artist and card designer Natty Michelle.  The winner gets to choose 8 cards from the shop; this can be 8 of the same or a variety.  

Thanks to Natalie, I've been able to give away a few of her unique cards for two birthdays and a 'thank you' and the recipients have been thrilled to receive these beauties.

How to Enter? (you know the drill, up to 3 entries)

1. Visit Natty Michelle and tell me your favorite card design.  This one's mandatory in order to be eligible to win.

2. If you're a regular reader/follower of D&OC you get a second entry. Just let me know how you follow.

3. Tweet, Facebook, or blog about this giveaway and let me know you did. 

*make sure to leave separate comments for each entry
