Shepherd's Daughter GIVEAWAY!

*EDIT* Rachel would like to keep the shipping for this giveaway U.S. based, sorry!

Hey guys! Guess what I have for you today? Oh yeah, you probably *cough* saw the title of this uh, post... Anywho, today you have a chance to win this pair of earrings:

This giveaway is to celebrate having 400 posts! Wowza! Anyway, the talented Rachel from Shepherd's Daughter (who is also having a giveaway on her blog!!) has crafted these earrings for one of you! Exciting right? Here's a little bit about Rachel:

My name is Rachel, I blog over at Shepherd's Daughter about growing up in the Philippines, living in California, and pursuing my dreams of saving the world. Well, my way. ;) I also babble about my day-to-day passions and creative inspirations for my little jewelry shop. 

I started selling hand-made jewelry on Ebay in 2007 after I signed up for sponsoring a World-Vision child. I had my heart set on this beautiful 7-year old Filipina, but didn't have the funds to support her. Today, profit from the shop go to  an impoverished town called Guimaras where young children are in constant need of daily amenities. Come by and hang out for a while. I love making new friends!

Rachel was such a pleasure to work with and is super sweet, as you can probably tell from her short bio :)

So go ahead and start entering this awesome giveaway!

Saturday. Saturday I become responsible. Saturday I am a woman. (*wink*) Saturday I'm going to my great aunt's to spend a week there! I can't wait!! (Does a responsible woman jump up and down and do a happy dance when they're excited about something?;)
One whole week of peace and quiet. Where I'm going (I am not going to tell you where for privacy reasons!) is the most peaceful place on earth. It is the most beautiful place on earth. It's where I would want to live if I was an adult.
Like I said, I won't be blogging for a week but its totally worth it :)
I have two amazing cousins there (ages 15 and 9) who are truly the sweetest people on earth.
I am so excited and I think my great aunt is too :)
Ok to change the subject, there is this guy riding around and around the block on a bright blue motorcycle thing. It's quite amusing ;)
