The winner has been announced.
Thank you to everyone for participating! Please visit the Giveaways Galore page for my current giveaways.  You can also subscribe to my blog for future updates. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Santa arrived early at my house this year! Guess what he brought me in this nice little white box right here?

[Copyright Midday Escapades 2009]

If you guessed a Sterling Silver Bracelet with 8 personalized charms, then you are right, my friends!

[Copyright Midday Escapades 2009]

Gosh, I haven't had a charm bracelet since I was a little girl. Now thanks to the Charm Factory, I can feel like a Princess all over again. Not only is my bracelet and all the charms Sterling Silver (my favorite), but they are very well made, the clasp is easy to adjust to fit my smaller wrist and it came fully assembled. It's also so pretty and shiny that it's hard to stop looking at it while I'm writing this review.  AND, don't even get me started on my lovely personalized charms.



Well, okay, let me tell you about those! Charm Factory generously offered me the choice of up to 8 charms for my beautiful bracelet. Here are some pics of a couple of the ones I chose that have special meaning to me:







I also picked the Cowboy Boot (yeah, Texas), Eiffel Tower (Paris here I come!), Cup of Coffee (my other love next to chocolate) and the Red Enamel Heart (to remind me that love is what matters) charms. Can I just tell you that I love my new Charm Factory bracelet and all 8 of my charms?  I do! I do!


GET IT!
