  29. I visited Pumpkin Pie Designs and love so many things, it is hard to narrow it down. I might ask her to do something special for an old college friend…maybe with the name of the college and the year we first became friends. She would love that!
    Thanks to both of you for the drawing!

  31. I visited Pumpkin Pie and she has so many pretty things. I especially like the square necklace with the xoxo—-the shape is great and it is clean and simple.

  49. If I was the lucky winner I would order the grandma necklace with all my precious grands names on it and a heart too!
    I could wear them close to my heart!

    Love that idea!

    Thank you so much,
    Dolly

  171. It's hard not to pick out something for myself but I would purchase the Wedding Necklace for my soon-to-be wonderful sister-in-law and the Teach necklace for the great teachers my kids have this year!!

  173. Yes I agree, that is an awesome name…..to go along with an awesome talent judging by the pieces seen here! I'm going to pop right over to her site and find myself some lovelies! Thanks for the tip!

  185. Love this giveaway.

    How fun is the "love" necklace? This is what I would order if I win.

    I am now a follower of the DeRoos!!

  186. I love the personalized (very simple) necklace and the man's brown id bracelet. This type of jewelry suits my life perfectly. I have 3 boys and I own nothing this is uber girly. Love this stuff. I see a purchase for my oldest teenager coming soon. 🙂

  190. I have been to the Etsy shop, even ordered several things…..how could I not??? So many beautiful items. I did save a couple….for one the "carry on" necklace, Love it. So if I should be so lucky I would get it and also the necklace with two discs to put my grandchildren's names on!! Thanks for the opportunity MMM.

    Thanks for the referral to her blog, too!
    Hope I win!!

  225. There is so much I would order from pumpkin pie! I have had my eye on the tiny hearts necklace and the itty bitty necklace for quite awhile! I would choose between one of those if I won!

  228. I just visited her site! How adorable! I lover her things that use so many different metals but my favorite is the F=family tree one. It's so precious!

  234. Marian,
    I'd love the personalized baby spoon. I am a new, first-time grandma…how fun it would be to havea spoon with my sweet granddaughter's name on it.
    Karen

  238. I visited Pumpkin Pie designs and would probably choose the Keep Calm and Snap on necklace or the Established necklace. It is so hard to narrow them down! Love them all!

  240. I went to Pumpkin Pie Designs and I love the Family Tree Necklace and the Locket Necklace – sooooo many to select from!

    I am now a follower of Kalen's.

    Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  243. After visiting Pumpkin Pie site I would have a hard time choosing from all those pretties but I think I would choose the border necklace or the anniversary one.

  247. I do like the love necklace a lot. But, I think what I'd actually do, if I won, would be to save the gift certificate until I finally got pregnant, buy the due date necklace, wear it, and wait to see who notices. That would be fun. 🙂

  267. If I won I would actually give it to my sister. She is amazing and my dearest friend and she has been wanting some "mommy jewelry" for a while so this would be perfect for her!

  269. Good Witch Bad Witch Necklace. My kids are always teasing me about being a witch and friends tell me I am the good witch so that would be so super cute.

  272. My daughter is getting married in Sept, and THE CURLY TREES are her theme.. so I have to have one of the trees (I'll tell her to go to Pumpkin pie too)

  275. I love all the necklaces that can be personalized. I would get a necklace with 3 circles, one for each of my kids' names!!
