So Lo and I looooved reading everyones entries...love that we received answered questions from 2 year olds...up to ladies in there 40 and 50's sharing everything they love about their mamas. Thank you to all who participated in our first ever contest...and I think we'll have to do one every Mother's Day...just 'cause it gives us warm fuzzies all the way around:)

Here's Jennie's entry...and we promise...its not why she was picked...but we do believe in karma...we Pinky Swear.

"I do have little ones, and I have heard their answers to such questions before, and they're hysterical. But I'm going to tell you why my own mom deserves this Mother's Day prize more than I do!

Back December my mom hurt her foot--she wasn't sure how, but it got
all black and blue. She went to the doctor and had an MRI.
Nothing. He put her in a boot. Then a cortisone shot. No real relief. Back she went. It was tendonitis. She put the boot back on. Frustrated, she started going for acupuncture treatments, trying
to relieve the pain. She thought perhaps it was helping a little.
Then my parents went on vacation and they had to walk a lot. Her foot was killing her the whole time. When she got back she went back to the doctor, begging him to re-examine her foot. It was, in fact, broken. My mom had been walking around on a broken foot for four months! You can't imagine how little she complained. She also didn't bow out of any of her duties. She still put on Christmas dinner, babysat my kids, and fulfilled all her daily obligations. She just had surgery to repair the break, which was by now very large, and is in a huge cast and on crutches for 6 weeks. She is an active person so this will no doubt be quite challenging for her. Still, she isn't complaining and is just looking forward to having her foot back too normal again.

My mom truly deserves a beautiful Mother's Day gift, and your jewelry IS beautiful!

Thanks for reading,

Jennie Ellis"

We'll contact you ladies via email...and again thanks to all and Happy Mother's Day!!
