CONTEST IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
Today is my blog’s third year bday celebration! Yup, three years. I can not believe I have been blogging that long. It is just shocking to me that I have managed to keep it up. It is all because of my faithful and fabulous foodie friends that I have managed to last this long. Thank you!
Video includes: new Wilton’s cake decorating supplies for me to product test and cool foodie projects from Think Geek!
To celebrate, I put together a video to say thank you to all of you (including you awesome lurkers out there), share what is coming up on my blog soon and what is going on with me personally. I am going to be taking a blogging hiatus until Tuesday April 10th and if you want to know why, watch the video.
GIVEAWAY!
This year I am giving away foodie pendants that I made myself! They are all very different styles so I need your help. I need to know which style you like the most!
My star anise pendant is very natural, made with a real star anise on a wooden disk. The “Never Full! skelly cupcake pendant is made with polyshrink, is spooky, Gothic, silly and fun. The banana necklace is made with resin and polymer clay, hand sculpted by me. Yes, this one is kid-like but I wonder what you think of the two mediums?
HOW TO ENTER
- Leave a comment on my blog telling me which pendant you like the most and why. You will be entered into a draw for that particular pendant.
- If you don’t already, please follow my blog. The more followers, the more giveaways!
- If you are on Etsy, I would love it is you “favourite” my store. I think Etsy is so much fun, let me know if you are on it too! I will favourite you back.
- Leave contact information so I can contact you directly.
- Contest is open to anyone, anywhere.
- Contest closes at the end of Monday April 9, 2012.
- Winners will be announced Tuesday April 10, 2012.
- UPDATE! For those of you with kids who would like a different pendant, let me know which one the child likes and which one you like and I will put both names in the draw. Don’t want to leave anyone out!
Some foodie jewelry treats for my online friends that I made with my own hands to say thank you. Without you, this blogging thing would be no fun at all. You have helped me keep sane, made me laugh at myself when I felt like crying and kept life delicious.
Thank you my foodie friends! Hope you come by and say happy bday and let me know which pendant you want to win.
All three pendants are unique in their own way, you’re getting better and better on making them! But I love the anise pendant because it’s a lovely plant with protective properties, always welcome – and I love its colors.
Kisses and crossing fingers& toes now! :o)
Happy Birthday… Although it is hard to pick just one of these pendants as each is wonderful… I would have to say that my favorite is the Anise pendant… I love the colours in it and anise is one of my favorite spices over the couple of years and I have learnt to use it in many different recipes.

I love the star anise (and LOVE the smell of anise!) pendant. I’m a bit of a ‘hippie’ with my style, so it’s a winner for this gal! Simplistic and beautiful. I thought that the circle with sprinkle underneath looked like a ginger spice cookie! Too adorable!
<3 Feel better soon Suzie. You’re an inspiration.

Happy Bloggie Birthday Suzie!!
We will get together soon, oui?
Happy blog birthday! YAY! I LOVE your jewelry! I’m hoping to have some time after the end of my job to do some jewelry – you’ve inspired me! I particularly like the star anise one. It’s one of my favorite flavors, and so pretty! 🙂
They’re all very cute! The anise is simple and rustic, the skeleton is very appropriate, and the bananas are neat. Since I’m a Monkey-child and I love the translucent bunch in the middle, I vote bananas!

Happy Blog Birthday!! 🙂
Happy Blog Birthday Suzie, and thanks for all your yummy inspiration over the years, I always look forward to reading up on your adventures each day. Glad to hear there will be more to come. Yes, take some time to recharge, play and get creative. Always sending positive and healing vibes your way.
As for the pendants, you are bang on about the bananas, my daughter squealed with delight when she saw them. She thought the two smaller bananas on the necklace would make awesome matching earrings. I quite like the sparkly resin and am amazed at your sculpted foodie creations. They are fun for adults too who enjoy that whimsical charm. So hard to choose as I also am attracted to the spooky, darker, paranormal stuff as well. I guess it really depends on the mood that day!
Happy Blogaversary Suzie! Hope the weather changes and you’re feeling better soon.
I like the star anise as well; I love food and herbs and spices, so that would be my cup of tea. I really like Skelly (although it’s not my style); he is very unique. And the bananas are a great idea for kiddies.
How about some floral jewellery? Either capturing violets in resin or forming little flowers.
Love all the comments and the feedback everyone! Ava, I was hoping your little one liked the banana one in particular, I just had a feeling. I will put her name in for the banana one (I can turn those little ones into earrings for her if she wins) and your name for the spooky one.
Sandy, I am definitely going to make floral jewellery too. I have to get some silica so I can dried them first. I tried to do it with a fresh one and it was a disaster!
Keep the comments coming, you are all making me so happy! 🙂
Happy Blog Bday Suzie!! So glad I got to come by and see your post before I go camping. The video was awesome and you’re looking great!
Tala and I both really like the star anise pendant but we also like the other two. She thought the banana’s were yummy looking. I of course love the “never full” one but I’m not much for square or rectangle pendants. Looks like the star anise one is a big winner with a lot of your viewers… I hope I can be a big winner too
:0)
You’re a sweetie Fran! 🙂 I will add Tala’s name to the banana list and put yours up for the anise pendant. Good luck and have a fabulous time camping!
Happy blog Birthday!!! I live your blog and appreciate all the work that you put into it.
I love all the pendants, but the star anise is my favorite. If I can only choose one though it would have to be the skeleton. I have a 10 year old boy foodie who would love it.
Have a fun foodie break!

jpmacmaster, I will put your name in for the star anise and put in a ballot for your little boy foodie who likes the skeleton!
Don’t want to leave anyone out so if you are in the same situation, let me know. I want to include everyone, even little foodies out there.
Thanks Suzie! That’s very sweet and why we love you!
Jacqueline and Logan
Aww… Shucks! You rock! 🙂
Happy Bloggiversary!
I like the star anise one as it’s so neat looking and as a foodie it tickles my senses!
Happy blog birthday Suzie!!!
Definitely the Star Anise pendant! I love it!
I thin they are all adorable but I would like to win the Star Anise pendant, it looks like it could be worn all the time with just about anything : )
And Happy Blog Birthday!! So cool : ) Have fun playing for a few days and see you when you get back.
Oh, Lucas loved the “Never Full” skelly pendant, of course! He loves skellies. ;o)
i like the banana resin necklace the most because it’s translucent , looks pretty , and I like the sparkle inside of it .

Happy blog birthday Suzie!
Love your blog and the necklaces. My quiet gentle side is really loving the star anise one, but there’s a little something in me that is going ape for the bananas! My daughter likes the skelly so I put all three in a hat and hauled out the star anise! Please enter my name for it!
Looking forward to the next year of your blog! Happy blogging!

Happy Foodie Blog Birthday, Suzie!!
I love being able to read your foodie adventures – though I always wish we lived closer so I could sample those yummies!! (Well, I totally wish we lived closer anyway) I love being able to hang out in your kitchen and see what you’re up to.
How awesome you bought yourself a blog birthday present! I totally hope you make a video for your fizzy experiment!
Congrats on all your creativity, your spirit, your sense of honesty, experimentation and rebellion! Congrats on this special day. I’m celebrating YOU!
Happy Bloggie Birthday! Love the glittery cupcakes! Hope you have a relaxing break!
I love all of your pendants because they each have their own unique charm. I had such a hard time deciding! I vote for Skelly #1,because he’s so colorful and fun and cute! I love the glittery resin in the banana pendant- I’m a big fan of glitter. The polymer clay bananas are nice also because they are so realistic,and I love the anise pendant because it’s natural and conservative.
Thanks for the giveaway, and your wonderful blog! You can contact me at [email protected]
I love the Skelly one! I am already am a follower. 😉
Happy Blog Birthday Suzie – I’m a lurker – I read you every day. Love your blog and actually try some of the recipes. Subway cookies two times this week alone! (I have to give the cookies away or I’ll eat all of them). Enjoy your weekend!
Happy birthday, Suzie!!! 😀 I hope you have a really great weekend off playing. You definitely deserve the break, and I hope you’re feeling more up soon.
I love all the pendants, but skelly and the star anise are my favourites. If I had to choose one, I’d choose skelly – I love the goth and the silly too. 🙂
I’m always here reading, even when I don’t comment. Love your blog!

Ok, this is difficult because they are all pretty dang cool… so I had to make the selection based on my own priorities… The winner is surely the Skeleton ” I’m Never Full”. Thanks for the opportunity!

I like the star anise pendant very much. We do not get star anise in Sri Lanka though I have heard much of this spice.

Happy blog birthday! I’m glad you are getting a few days off, too, although I miss reading you when I’m on break. (Lurker, for sure!)
I’m loving the star anise pendant. The color and texture are just perfect–I am a big-time lover of amber,and this complements that very nicely! My little monkey daughter is all about the bananas necklace, though. Good thing it wasn’t broccoli!
I saw the banana necklace when you posted it but I like the Never Full pendant because I’m never full and I like skeletons too lol. [email protected]
I added you to my circle on Etsy and hope you do the same for me.

I love Never Full, because I’m a cupcake junkie! Following!
Happy Blogversary, Suzie. I’m torn between the anise pendant and the banana necklace. Since I love Bananas..I have to go with that one.
