Giveaway: Mighty Summit Necklace and Print

Business, Events, Gifts and Objects, Go Mighty

Today’s giveaway is a little more symbolic. First up is the Quintet Necklace, by one of my favorite etsy jewelers Lemonade Handmade:

Gold Rings Necklace — the Quintet by Lemonade Handmade

I’ve mentioned this necklace before, we gave one to each of the attendees to symbolize the five Life List goals they hoped to accomplish in the coming year. (Nicole did a lovely write up about it.) I love the necklace for its simplicity, and I like the idea of five golden rings being little commitments to yourself. I’ve been wearing mine every day since the Summit. Lovely.

Every year, we have an artist make limited edition prints to commemorate the weekend. This year Alma and Mike Loveland of Ollibird.com did block prints of the vintage blankets we lug onsite to keep everyone warm.

Alma, whose yellow sweater you may remember from a previous post, did the illustrations.

Mike hand painted the blankets for a little pop of color.

Mike and Alma teach all kinds of art and computer classes and they live in the Salt Lake City area. In fact, they’re hosting an art weekend in Salt Lake at this very moment, so head over if you’re in town.

The finished prints each featured a different color, but yours will be plum.

To enter, please tell us about your proudest accomplishment in comments. And the drawings are still open for our the Mighty Summit Giftbag and the Summit Necklace and Brooch giveaway, so throw your hat in there too.

Fine print: Please only leave one comment for each giveaway, because it’s the nice thing to do, and also because multiple entries will be disqualified. I’ll use random.org to select the winner, and I’ll announce who won at the top of this post and in a separate post next Thursday.

  1. My proudest accomplishment is that even when things are tough, I’ve learned to keep my positive outlook and stay kind to those I love.

  2. Besides giving birth to two fantastically interesting kids, one of my greatest accomplishments has been becoming debt free. What a great feeling.

  4. Taking what was meant to be a year to travel on a strict budget, and making my money last 15 months so that 13 countries later I’m still able to get around.

  7. I have a personal proudest accomplishment that is maybe a little too personal to share on the internet, so I will say that completing my PhD was one of the proudest moments of my life

  10. Dragging myself out of school loan and bad decisions relating to misspent youth debt! That and being a good role model for my-count ’em!-5 younger siblings!

  13. Not that I didn’t accomplish this without the help of pretty much everyone who knows me but applying for, being accepted and experiencing a year of Drama School in London is my proudest accomplishment. I worked on my craft every day, even when I was relaxing. I met people who are close friends to this day (went to my first ever Roller Derby bout with one of them this weekend). I emptied my bank account and took out loans and lived on credit cards but still managed to understand that to worry about money instead of traveling, going to shows, eating good food and fully engaging in the year would be to dishonor the experience.

    I think I need to set my sights on a new accomplishment; integrating the importance of experience over worry into my current life. Not to mention working steadily and fully on my craft.

  15. College graduation, when the provost had to stop and take a deep breath before reading out my name and honors. I worked hard, dang it! And had just been admitted to two graduate programs outside of my major.

  16. This is an odd thing, but I am secretly so proud of myself for getting out of a pretty unhappy and lonesome seven-year relationship. I traded security for… the unknown!

  19. I am proudest of marrying the right person: someone who is helping me to accomplish my (at times totally implausible and ridiculous) dreams.

  22. My proudest accomplishment is just since this last week actually. I started an Etsy shop where I sell my knit and crocheted items and it really took off last week. It is so mind blowing and a real honor that people actually want to buy something that I personally created!

    That necklace is really lovely!

  25. This was a hard one, Maggie! I guess I’m proud that I’m willing to take risks still, even though I might have to have my husband talk me into them! I’m proud of the crazy old decrepit historical-registry home we bought & all the work we’ve (ok, mostly he’s) done on it. I’m proud he and I followed our dreams and spent 6 months overseas, looking for work. I’m proud of my two wonderful daughters. I’m also proud that I consider myself to be always learning and growing and not-done. 🙂

  28. I was so proud of myself when I finally graduated college (after it taking me 6 years) with honors, and knowing that I paid for every dime of it myself!

  29. Backpacking through Europe alone at age 21. It was a lot harder to plan, fund, and survive than I thought it would be and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I don’t know that I would have the courage now, in my late twenties, to travel that far and long all alone so having done it brings a smile to my face.

  31. i took a week-long trip to London by myself when I was 21. it was the first time i had traveled alone, i did it somewhat defiantly because my potential travel companions all flaked out, and i had a superbly awesome time all by myself.
