Have you heard of Origami Owl Living Lockets? I hadn’t, but one of my readers, Carrie Rogers, is a distributor and clued me in to the fabulousness that is Living Lockets. As soon as I saw pictures I knew that a Living Locket giveaway was something that I wanted to give my readers the opportunity to enter! These lockets are so dang cute, and I love that you can make them truly *you* and one-of-a-kind! So cool. I usually make big, elaborate beaded necklaces for my jewelry business, Bombshell Bling, so this is veering in a different jewelry direction for me. And I like it! Let me tell you a bit more about these fun lockets.
Origami Owl Living Lockets™ is a unique customizable piece of jewelry. Each locket is custom designed by YOU! You choose the charms that tell the story of your life and represents what matters the most to you. Each locket is held closed by four strong magnets, making them secure enough to hold your favorite charms yet easy enough to change them as your life changes.
I went to Carrie’s branch of the Origami Owl website and browsed around and dreamed up a locket of my own. I think I would get the Large Silver Locket with Crystals, and I think I would stick with my signature red and black when I was filling it up. Here are the charms that jumped out as “me,” along with the reasons why I would choose them.
* “Mom” charm, for obvious reasons.
* A blingy “S,” which is my initial.
* A wedding ring to represent my marriage and that I am a jewelry maker who loves bling.
* A soda bottle to represent my Dr. Pepper addiction.
* Red lipstick because I am SOO a red lipstick girl!
* A treble clef because I love to sing and perform. In fact, my husband and I met serving as performing missionaries for our church, and we have done quite a bit of community theater and summer theater together since then.
* A red high heel. It’s just me. I even wore red t-strap heels under my wedding dress!
* A “Love to Read” book. I have always loved to read, although I can’t find quite as much time to do it these days as I would like.
* “In Memory Of” to represent my sweet mama and what a big part of my life she was and is.
* A cameo charm to represent my love of genealogy/family history work.
* A computer charm to represent this little blog ‘o mine.
So fun, right?! Go dream up your own locket, because Carrie will be giving one of my readers a Medium Silver Living Locket, along with one Ball Station Chain!** LUCKY!!!
The locket is composed of solid jewelry-grade stainless steel, and it is hypoallergenic and will not rust or tarnish. Measuring in at 25mm in diameter, this locket will hold approximately 4-7 charms (depending on charm size). The chain is 18 inches in length and is beautifully plated in 925 sterling silver.
To get started dreaming up your own locket visit the website for step by step instructions. I think they would make the best gifts! Mother’s Day, grandmother gifts, bridesmaid gifts….anything! Check out some of the awesome lockets that you can build:
And here is some great news: Craft Quickies fans will receive a FREE charm with the purchase of any Living Locket™!
To claim your FREE charm you need to send Carrie a message via her Facebook business page with your completed order number, choice of free charm, and let her know that Craft Quickies sent you! Please do not place the charm in your cart when checking out.

April 1, 2013 at 9:37 pmSo if we win, do we have to buy our own charms? Or is that included?
sarah says
April 2, 2013 at 12:12 amYou buy your own charms, Kelsey. The most expensive part of these lockets are the lockets themselves, so this will be the cheap part. 🙂

April 1, 2013 at 11:47 pmThe lockets are wonderful! I’d make one for my sister-in-law who put herself through nursing school. I’d start with the RN charm, then add the dog because she has 3, and I’d finish with the family heart because she’s the one that holds the whole family together.
Jenn/Rook No. 17 says
April 1, 2013 at 11:56 pmJust wanted to let you know that I had some trouble finding Carrie’s Facebook page. A link didn’t show up on the Rafflecopter widget. I tried the link in the post where there’s mention of the free charm promo, but the link gave me a 404 error. I went back to Carrie’s Origami Owl page and visited the Facebook link from there, but I think it’s just for company’s page, not her independent consultant page. I liked that page, but would still love to like Carrie’s. Whew, that was a bit of a tongue twister!
