  1. What a great necklace! My fave girly treat is a bubble bath – along with glass of wine, some Enya, candles, and a good book, of course!

  2. My favorite girly thing to do is play dress up with my 3 year old and have tea parties or eat one of her imaginary soups – currently she makes doodle berry soup and it is the best soup EVER! 🙂

  3. Since I do nails I would say my biggest girlie treat is a great new book or magazine and a bowl of ice cream. I have a 7 month old baby girl so it’s hard to find the time for myself so I steal minutes away when I can to recharge the batteries.
    I LOVE your blog and you are an inspiration to look at life through new eyes!

  4. Oh goodness, probably smores outside on a summer night just chatting with my girls, being loud silly and getting to eat devilishly good snacks.

  5. My favorite girly treat is to watch a sappy movie on a rainy afternoon. While eating chocolate and sipping a Diet Coke. Ahh… bliss. Your jewelry is gorgeous!

  6. oops!

    I forgot to add my favorite girly treat!

    I LOVE to look really nice with my hair curled, sit at Starbucks, and have some Godiva chocolate!

  7. Been looking at your online shop and loving the jewellery. Then popped over to your blog which is just fab! If I don’t win I will be buying one, if I do win I will be buying one as a pressie :o)

    A girlie treat for me is making cupcakes with my niece then watching a chick flick. xx

  8. Hello Lisa and greetings from a very icy cold Germany!

    Just stumbled across your blog and love it – you are so inspiring and have a fabulous family!
    Favourite girlie treat for me is definitely a night in with my two sisters, lots of yummy snacks (no calorie counting!), good wine and lots of laughs.

  9. My favorite girlie treat is getting to eat edy’s girl scout thin mint ice cream after all my boys have gone to bed! Ok so it’s not a huge girlie treat but it’s my alone time every night that I look forward too!

  10. Oh, I love so many girly treats! Eating Oreo balls(or anything really yummy and chocolaty!)while watching chick flicks with great girl friends. Talking to those same great girl friends late into the night about anything and everything. Jewelry. Fancy hairstyles. Picking up a baby and cuddling just because I CAN. Thinking up tons of wonderful names for my own little babies when I have them. Lots lots wonderful things!! ♥

  11. Hi, not sure I left a post, I tried to see if I did, not trying to cheat. Anyway, my favorite girly thing is a pedicure with a stimulating leg massage. I have neuropathy and it relieves the pain in my legs, unfortunately I can’t afford a ped as much as I like. Would love, love, love, to win the chandelier pendant with my beloved grandson’s name on it, he is the light in my life (besides my sweetie, husband Dan. Thanks, your work is GREAT! From a fellow artisan – artful commotion -Blanca

  16. My fave girlie treat is just time with my bff WITHOUT the hubby and kids! We rarely get this in the evening, so when we can somehow manage it, we enjoy a glass of wine or a cup of tea, and just sit on the couch or outside where we can see the stars…this is when we can really unwind and re group!

  17. Seeing the faces of my grandkids, a new one was born this week and another one is due to be here on Tuesday! Life is Good!

  18. Treats-going out for a bagel and latte. That is luxury for me. Loved your site, thinking of a Mother’s Day gift for my daughter in law. Have to pick just the right one.

  22. Hi there! My favorite girlie treat is taking a drive with my sister Amy- no destination- listening to music, rocking out, being silly, then quiet, so comfortable, taking pictures, maybe shopping or stopping at a winery or sitting on the beach and then going out to dinner- without having to worry about what is happening at home with the hubbys and kids. Ahhh….

  23. My favorite girlie treat is…my hubby of 18 years Mark! Love it when we get the very rare date-night.

  29. My favorite girlie treat is simply to spend a quiet hour with my sister over a cup of tea. We both work with special needs children and she also is the parent of a special needs child. So there is always so much to discuss, but so little time… I guess that makes it that much more precious to us.

  30. my favorite girly thing is to go with my 20 year old daughter for the day–we have lunch, shop and end up getting pedicures side by side. We talk, look at trashy magazines and compare scadalous stories. the best girly day ever!

  36. My favorite girlie treat is a handmade card/gift from my 3 boys! They don’t like to scrap with Mom but they will sneak some arts & crafts time in with Dad and surprise me with something pretty! It makes me feel loved and so girlie (since it has a heavy boy design included) LoL

    I love your jewlery!

  46. My favourite treat is tea and cake with my best friend somewhere quiet and pretty so we can catch up on ‘news’ !!
    Your necklaces are gorgeous and I am sending my DH to this site when my birthday rolls around, lol, so don’t go away! Thanks for offering such a generous giveaway.

  47. SCRAPBOOKING WITH MY BEST FRIEND. WE COULD SPEND HOURS JUST SITTING SIDE BY SIDE DOING OWN OUR STUFF AND TALKING. I HAVE GREAT MEMORIES FROM THESE MOMENTS.

  48. Getting together with my high school or sorority girlfriends – doesn’t really matter where we go or what we do, we just enjoy each other’s company, laughter & support. Almost like we just picked right up where we left off the last time we got together even though we all live many miles apart. I love your jewelry & the new design – thanks for the giveaway!!

  50. Hi Lisa!
    oh dear…my favortie girlie treat??!!! It must be the latest copy of Somerset Living Magazine while soaking in a bubble bath…
    L O V E the new necklace!!!!
    xoShari from Idaho

  51. I hope I’m not to late to enter the giveaway! I love the new necklace! My favorite girlie treat is antique shopping and splurging on vintage jewelry!

  52. A day with my daughter at Sephora and The Cheesecake Factory. It’s a little “feel good” ritual we do about 4 times a year now that my daughter is grown. We have the best day!

  53. Since my girlfriends live alittle too far to get together very often, I would say getting together with them, to (take you pick), go on a trip, shopping, scrapbooking, or just lunch together. Life is full, but more fun with friends!

  54. My fav would be lunch with my friends!!! Nothing better then girl talk. So glad Heidi introduced me to your site. Love it.!!!

  55. My favorite girlie treat is window shopping…I can have anything I want, see all the new trends, dream of how much fun it would be to own them…and then go home without having spent a dime.

  56. I really have to choose one? Okay, I think that a QUIET bubble bath with a good book. I have 2 small boys and it is the ONLY time I get some peace (for at least 15 minutes)

  57. Favorite girly treat…to really take the time to go for it and get away with some friends…the extended time away, like a weekend or part of a week really allows you to let your hair down, relax, have time for fun activities that take awhile, like scrapbooking or a long board game….but most importantly, to get real and transparent with each other like you can when you are out of your usual routine.

  58. My favorite treat is champagne and dancing with my girlfriends. It happens very seldom, but when it does, we all have smiles on our faces that just can’t be replicated any other way. The best is when it’s at one of our weddings!

    I think this new design is my new favorite Lisa Leonard Designs treat!

  59. The best girlie treat is lunch and a mani/pedi with my girlfriends….. well, and of course a delicious chocolate brownie never hurt anyone. 🙂

  60. I love, love, love the new design! My favorite girly treat is simply having alone time with a girlfriend. I am the only girl in a life full of boys! I have three sons and four big brothers, anything girly is good for me. {laughing}

    ~Misti

  61. I am one woman in a house of men and boys, so my favorite ‘girlie’ thing to do is spend a few hours with a favorite girlfriend. We talk, shop, enjoy a latte, and generally just get our ‘girl-fix’. By the end of the day, I am ready to come home to all my boys as a better mom and wife. It’s the best!

  62. The whole family home but not needing me, clean house, and me curled up on the couch with coffee and a good book. I love home the best!

  63. My favorite girlie treat is mini-vacations with my mom. Now that I’m older and we don’t get to see each other as much as we would like, there is nothing better than taking a weekend trip to go see a play or just to relax!

  64. my favorite girlie treat? hmmmmm…. a nice long bubble bath with a good book, or a fun day out with my girlfriends! It’s a toss up!!

  65. how wonderful! The joy of reading this is not just the chance to win, but also the chance to reflect. What illuminates me? Well, the joy of knowing Him. The privilege of being married to my best friend. The adventure of raising my four wonderful children. The abundance of precious friends!

    I have also tweeted (djbieb) and facebooked (donnagabelbieb) about it. 🙂

    My favorite girly treat? Facials and pedicures.Nothing makes me feel more girly than those! 🙂

  66. My favorite girlie treat is a manicure and pedicure! Then I love to go shopping for new shoes! Pretty toes need new shoes!

  70. Are you still taking entries? I don’t have one favorite treat…I love pedicures, getting my hair done, lunch or shopping with the girls… I’ll take it all!

  71. My favorite girlie treat would have to be mocha coffee while my dauhter has hot coco. I love our special time together. The new necklace is goregous.

  72. My guilty, girly pleasure is watching Gossip Girl on Monday nights. I feel way too old and out of style to watch, but enjoy the great clothes and entertaining scandles!

  73. Not much time for girlie getaways, but I have to say I enjoy myself the most when I’m reading a good book, while the TV is blasting in everyroom and my kids are running around the house like maniacs…

  74. I am also in the crowd in favor of a nice pedicure or some good girl time with my friends. Both happen so few and far between these days.

  75. My favorite girly treat is to eat jellybeans while doing absolutely nothing else. Savoring the flavor for 4 calories a piece…

  76. favorite indulgent girly treat: spa time. be it a facial, massage, pedi, mani. favorite cheapo girly treat: bubble baths with candles, a glass of wine, and a bathtub cleared of all bath toys.

  77. I love shopping, doesn’t matter for what. I’m a scratch and sniff kind of girl. What does the material feel like, is that paper double sided, our those not the cutest shoes! You get the idea.

  78. ACK! I should have this! I have this chandelier print in my bedroom curtains! : ) My fav girlie treat is to paint my toenails (polka dots) and have my hair highlighted…..just freshens things up a bit ; )

  82. My fav girlie thing is getting a pedicure. We have a very luxurious spot near my home where you can go, forget all your troubles, relax and feel pampered. They even have laptops at each pedicure chair! Love your designs!

  83. My favorite girlie treat is unexpected time alone; just me, a cup of coffee and lots of blogs to read! With two small children in the house, you know things can get a little crazy! Last night, my daughter (almost 5!) didn’t have dance because of the holiday, so my husband took both kiddos to a basketball game. I plopped down in the big leather chair, turned the tv OFF, grabbed a cup of joe, and sat down to hang out with some bloggers. Ahhhhh- the sound of no sound at all!!!!!!

  84. Illuminate–Oh my! your perfect. You declare The statements of Life & living ( or at least-thru my eyes & thoughts)
    I am very simple… I look for`at least’ few minutes every day– for that ~quiet ~ so I can step back when everyone is asleep….and I am able to have `quiet’ to allow `God & Nature’ to just ~BE~ so I never Lose any trace of the day that has just passed. I wan to be able to burn it in my memory & remember day-sounds & smells -look at everyone & everything & have time to just hear them all breathe.
    I lost my 1st child,son in his 1st yr, when I was just 21. That was all burnt in my memory- -the pain of every second-every movement. 30 yrs later I can recall it like it happened yesterday. The pain in my heart -takes my breath away and takes me to my knees in prayer. I learned, The Lord gave women Grace & strength=we did not know we had -we continue on-1foot in front of the other-day after .broken in heart-He holds us up & carry us thru our pain-He Illuminates his Love & gets us thru…we learn to see the Wonder & Beauty in all little things in our day to day life. Our child breathing.. the wind blowing..
    the clock ticking..the house~quiet~for a few minutes and maybe I can take a bath with out interruption..

    I adore your artistry..it is LIFE spoken simply…It looks like something that when worn would feel soft and silky and you;d ant to be touching it all the time, the extra little dangling jewels are so brillant…. I cant stop looking at your pages.. I am emailing your site to everyone I know…

  141. Absolute favorite girlie treat…is spending time with my girlies! They remind that there is nothing better than a pick me up from your girlie friends!

  155. Beautiful new necklace 🙂 My favorite girly treat is new underwear– just a six-pack of cotton ones from Target is fine!

  170. my fav girly treat is a girl party with my fav women and our new menu ideas and pretty drinks and hours of sitting around catching up on our lifes, loves and losses.

  171. My favorite girly treat is a mock slumber party with my daughter. We eat junk food, and watch silly movie in our pjs. Then she gets sent to bed in her own room. It’s a better soul lifter then anything money could buy me.

  172. My favorite girlie treat is a fresh baked CUPCAKE! I prefer vanilla over chocolate, with the real frosting none of that whipped stuff, and to top it all off – don’t forget to add the colorful sprinkles. Something about the taste, smell, and overall look just puts a smile on my face…

  178. Thanks for the giveaway! It’s gorgeous! Let’s see. . . girlie treat? Most definitely a candlelit bubble bath with some ice cold water on the ledge to sip and some chocolates to nibble.

  179. My favorite girlie treat is taking a bath in my very own tub at home. My husband draws the water, adds bubbles and sometimes, when time allows or life necessitates, comes and sits on the floor next to me for a heart to heart. This is how and where we have our very best conversations and make most of our biggest decisions. It’s definitely better than anything on TV!

  181. I LOVE products! I love going to the store and getting new makeup, new hair care products and trying out perfumes. I am such a girlie girl!

    My fav treat is a facial. I feel so “illuminated” after a fresh, clean facial!

    LOVE the new design. You are super!

  182. Probably a massage would be my treat. Although, having the time for a pedicure, even done by myself, would be great too. Beautiful necklace.

  184. My favorite girlie treat is getting all dolled up and having a date night with my husband! This necklace is lovely.

  185. fav girlie treat would involve a restaurant (no cooking for me) and some exotic menu. Have not seen your site before but your work is fabulous.

  186. my current favorite girlie treat is my once a month breakfast with my girlfriends. we dubbed it ‘the breakfast club’ b/c we’re all kids from the 80’s : ) the husbands all watch the kids so we can get away for bout 3/4 hours of breakfast, talk, coffee, talk, more food, laughs, talk….LOVE LOVE the breakfast club : )

  187. Got to go to Disneyland a couple times last year with girlfriends! That was pretty fun! 🙂 Lots of giggles!

    The necklace is beautiful! There is just something fun about chandeliers!

  188. Wow. Those cards are a great compliment to the beautiful necklace!

    My favorite girlie treat is getting my nails done. I go in every three weeks and it totally relaxes me and makes me feel so girlie and cute.

  189. my favorite girlie treat is spending time with my daughters– whether we’re attempting to create a culinary masterpiece or prepare a family meal, whether we’re watching our choice of chic flicks or reading books by our most loved authors, whether we’re trying to find our way through the latest crisis or simply sitting and enjoying a cup of our favorite tea while sharing our hopes and dreams for our future, it is time spent together with them that is my most treasured treat!

  190. My fave is hanging with my girlfriend who is my hair girl…getting my color, cut, style and brows done…then we eat lunch, ice coffees and shop!

  191. My favorite girlie treat is a candlelit bubble bath with a glass of my favorite wine and some mellow music in the background. Sooo relaxing!

  192. Getting my hair done…my salon gives fab head massage and other goodies while you are being coiffed. Love it!

  193. My favorite “girlie” treat is snuggling in bed with my daughters (7 and 9) to watch a “happy” movie! Just a little quiet time!

    Ashley

  194. A new haircut, my piggies after a fresh pedicure, or buying a new piece of funky jewelry! Even better, is doing all those things with girlfriends!

  195. My favorite treat is just going to the scrapbooking store by myself – no kids – and just taking my time checking everything out and browsing for as long as I feel like it without any whining or tugging at my sleeve to hurry up because “it’s so boring!”

  196. My favorite girlie treat is being with my girlfriends. I just got home from a wonderful girls weekend full of love,laughter, a few tears and best of all my girlfriends. Anything we do together is a wonderful treat! I feel refreshed,rich and revived! 🙂

  197. My favorite girlie treat is watching a good girlie movie with a bunch of girlfriends at one of our houses!! This is such a fabulous necklace, Lisa! 🙂

  199. My favorite treat is to spend time with the girls I love – anywhere, anytime – it just feels good to connect with my “tribe”.

  200. My fav girlie treat is overnight at my bff’s. We talk, we sing, we giggle, we enjoy being together, we pray, we create, we cook. We do just about anything, cause just being together is a treat and everything else is just a lovely bonus. 🙂

  201. My favorite girly treat is normally a pedicure and a good quality piece of chocolate. Though these days I think just an hour or two with no kids for my husband and I to get a cup of coffee would be an oh so grand treat.

  202. My favorite girly treat…. craft night with my girlfriends. We make tutus for our girls, hair bows, screen paintings… and are trying to come up with some more ideas. An evening with the girls crafting and sipping some wine is the best treat.

  204. Lisa….so beautiful. And I think today IS my lucky day! My favorite girlie treat is getting a pedicure. I always feel so beautiful when my toes look pretty and considering it is a rare treat for me it makes it that much more special.

  205. of course, i love all treats…massages, facials, manicures, pedicures. but what i really love most is a great haircut. i only get my hair cut once or twice a year (for a variety of reasons), but when i do it feel wonderful!

  206. My favorite girly treat is a nice long soak in the tubs – lots of bubbles and lighted candles! Love your jewelry.

  207. My favorite girly treat is a pedicure and also brownies whenever I want them! Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  208. besides all the treats above like manicures, etc. I love to curl up with a good book in a robe and slippers and give myself the luxury of time to just spend doing nothing……the best treat of all!!!!

  221. Beautiful necklace!

  228. My favorite girly treat is definitely a pedicure. They never used to be a big deal to me but now I LOVE them. I also like a good tabloid magazine. Put the two together and it is a real treat!

  229. Love the necklace! Very very pretty! My favorite girlie treat is a pedicure! I used to be all into the fake nail manicures…but I’ll trade them for a great spa pedicure ANYDAY!

  230. Fave Girlie Treat: A new piece of jewelry (cheap, antique, new or thrifted), new make-up and getting dresses up for a date with my husband! Date would be complete with dessert and wine.

  231. My favourite treat is going away to an art or scrapbook event with one of my girlfriends who lives far away. We get to spend time together doing our favourite things. Love the new necklace !

  232. Hm – fave girlie treat? A haircut, in which I can go in get a wash, cut, and style… and trust/let my hairdresser to just “do what would look good – I’m ready for a change!” Love coming out looking and feeling like a new woman! 🙂

  233. My favourite girly treat is Wednesday evenings alone at home. My darling husband visits his brother and best friend every Wednesday which allows me the night off to do my own thing, if the whim takes me to a bubble bath, or a girly movie on TV, or just catching up on my blogs – I cherish this time alone.
