Thanks for all your entries! I just have two pairs of shoes with me for our trip (one pair of black sandals and a pair of red chucks) so I loved the vicarious shoe love from your comments. A million different kinds and no credit card bill or sore toes = a total win.

Indeed, it’s time for this week’s giveaway! This week, one commenter will win a gift pack of Tim Holtz scrapbooking and crafting supplies. (Please note, the prize is for the supplies not the finished sample in the picture. Perfect for making a masterpiece all your own!)

To enter:, leave a comment on this post describing a favourite pair of shoes. (Oh, now I’m curious as to whether we’re a bunch that are evenly split amongst those who prefer something simple to those who wish they had the shoe wardrobe of Carrie Bradshaw!)

Have a great weekend – in your favourite shoes!

One new thing I’m excited to bring you for 2011 is a weekly giveaway here at shimelle.com! Something new each week, and all you have to do to enter is leave a comment, then check back to see if you’re the winner!

Our first giveaway is from Everyday Keepsakes, the beautiful handmade jewelry collection from the lovely and talented Meredith. Two lucky readers will win $50(USD) gift certificates to Everyday Keepsakes to choose personalized, handmade keepsake jewelry just for you! Great for yourself or as a gift to someone special, every piece is made by hand by Meredith Fenwick, owner and designer at Everyday Keepsakes.

_Meredith says…
I started making jewelry in September of 2008 and opened my Etsy shop selling handmade jewelry pieces in January of 2009… Originally, I mostly made and sold gemstone and crystal jewelry. As the business grew, I wanted to work more with custom and personalized pieces. Also a graphic designer, I began designing and making my own fine silver charms and selling those through my Etsy shop. Combining two of my favorite things – cool design and sparkly stuff, this was finally the thing that I had been looking for as a business. In October of 2010, Everyday Keepsakes opened its virtual doors and the new adventure began._

My personal favourite from Meredith’s collection has to be the Sweethearts design – initials carved on a tree trunk? Cute! And actually nicer as a necklace than an actual tree, of course. I like this style with the layered tags a great deal too – although there are so many lovely designs it’s hard to pick.

To enter this giveaway, leave a comment on this post mentioning one thing you want to do at some point this year — absolutely anything, big or little. Entries close at 11:59pm UK time, Sunday night, and the winner will be posted on Monday. Don’t forget to check back to see if you’re a winner!

This giveaway has now closed. Winners have been posted, so check to see if you won!
