***Welcome to March!  We’re ringing in the new month lion-style with a bunch of fun giveaways!  I’ll be featuring some of my favorite artist and crafters that make amazing products with a sweet (but not edible) twist.  I mean come on, it’s gonna be bathing suit season soon.  Time to cut the calories and slim down, right.  No, just me?  AHEM.  Never mind.  Let’s meet our first artist….

stOOpidgErL ♥ Handmade Resin Jewelry, Prints, & more 

I ran across Kim’s flickr page over a year ago, and I was instantly smitten with her whimsical photography and fantastic resin jewelry.  These are actual, real sprinkles used in her creations, and I love the sweet and playful vibe of these handmade pieces.  Kim’s shop announcement pretty much says it all:

“If you love rainbows, sweets, carnivals, clowns, candy sprinkles, glitter, and good times- then you’ve come to the right place! You’ll feel like a kid in a candy shop!”

Imagine being able to wear a little bit of sugar on you all of the time, (that’s not in the form of cellulite.)  Sounds good, right?  I’m so into it.  And this is just the tip of the candy-mountain, you really must check out Kim’s Etsy shop to see all of the charming goods she has to offer.  And while you’re there, be sure to make a note of your favorite things because I’m giving away a $50 shopping spree to one luck winner! 

TO ENTER:  Just leave a comment in this post and answer the question: “What are your very favorite kinds of sprinkles to use on cookies and cupcakes?”.  I will choose one random winner this Friday, March 5th.  *This giveaway is open to US shipping destinations only.  Thank you, and good luck!

PS.  Stay tuned for more giveaways, at least one per week, through the end of March.
