My First Giveaway!

"The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, 

but because he loves what is behind him." 

— G.K. Chesterton

In honor of Veteran's Day this year, I'm super excited to be hosting my first giveaway on this blog! Jill's Bracelets and More in Fort Campbell, KY has generously agreed to make a custom bracelet for the lucky winner! These are made from 550 paracord (for those of you who are non-military readers, 550 means the cord can hold 550 pounds without breaking!)- it has lots of purposes, but this is my favorite. I first saw these 550 bracelets (also called survival bracelets) when my husband and brother came home from Afghanistan wearing them, and wanted one for myself. They are perfect for guys, girls, or kids, and would be great for someone in a military family, to honor a veteran, or just worn because they're cute! How often do you get a chance to win a piece of jewelry made just for you, the way you want?
