200921Jul

by Grace

** This giveaway is now closed. Thank you very much for all your entries! **

** Giveaway winner and survey result will be in another post. Watch out for that!**

*****

** If you’re a reader of my blog, you can still take the quick survey even if don’t want to join the giveaway/contest at the end! **

I have put together a reader demographics survey so I can find out more about my wonderful readers. Yes, you!

survey

Why a survey, you ask. I had been blogging for two and a half years now and your answers will help me plan things ahead with regards to this blog’s direction and improvement so I request you to take this quick survey. The questions are easy and there’s no right or wrong answers. I promise you wont ever have to think about your moody Chemistry teacher back in highschool when you do the short survey.

All true – survey is short and I had an unpredictable Chemistry teacher in highschool who taught me the meaning of insomnia at a young age. Anyway…

*drum rolling*

TWO survey participants will walk away with a personalized My Heart is For You, My dear necklace from Simag Jewelry.

my-heart-is-for-you-my-dear

But I know with prize or not you’re still willing to take my survey, right? Right. Now that we’re clear, here’s a  little about the sponsor:

Simag Jewelry logo

Sima Gilady, the talented lady behind Simag Jewelry is a mother of four beautiful kids. She opened her Etsy shop to feature her handcrafted personalized jewelry in Hebrew and English. Sima handstamps her metals creating a special piece just for you.

Quoting Sima:

I create every piece with love, one letter at a time – it’s the ultimate personal experience for me. This isn’t just a job for me, it’s a great passion and blessing, to be able to be a part of a family’s story – even if just in that short moment of time.

Feel free to browse all her creations, I am sure you’ll find something you like! I have found this item beautiful and special:
