Here are some more images of the bracelet:
First of all, let me say that I LOVE this charm bracelet, Stephanie! It is very beautiful, and it perfectly captures the spirit of the "Angel of Music" with all its charms, especially with the wings. However, I also love that you incorporated other elements of "The Phantom of the Opera" into as well like the "5" for Box 5, the piano and music notes charms to represent the music and the rose and all the hearts to represent the love that Erik had for Christine.
ReplyDeleteOh my, just thinking of Erik being my valentine makes me grin like a silly schoolgirl and gives me goosebumps! Haha. He will most definitely be my date for Valentine's Day night either way since I plan on curling up on the couch with a fine glass of Pinot Grigio and watching one of my "Phantom of the Opera" films. (I'll probably watch the 2004 one since it's my favorite and how I discovered POTO to begin with.)
What better valentine than Erik, the creator of the music of the night? (=^_^=)

ReplyDeleteThank you Stephanie for giving everyone a Chance to win a beautiful bracelet!
Why should Erik be my valentine? Well,I picture him having lonely Valentine's Day. Him watching those levers arm in arm as they sure are pa they share passionate kisses.I would be his valentine because I want to show him that, even someone as different as him could have someone that will except him for who he is.show him the little things that he's been ejected his entire life. I think those little things will make him the happiest man on the earth just having someone that loves him by his side.even though I'm not one for the day ,but I will do it just for him just to make him happy.
Thank you so much for entering, Carlene!
DeleteI think that Erik should be my valentine because he and I both know what it feels like to be cast aside and rejected. When I was in school, I was always bullied, especially when I began my love for the Phantom of the Opera. My 'practice baby' even had a cape and a mask attached to it's face. I got made fun of a lot because of how I looked (and still do till this day), so I really understand where he is coming from. I love the music from the show because it reaches deep into my heart and makes me feel a little less alone. That is why I believe that Erik should be my valentine, and that I hope to win this gorgeous bracelet. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting, Jennifer!
DeleteOoooh that's so neat...I'm must say if Erik was my Valentine I'd be driving the poor man up the wall with all my mannerisms lol poor man would know what to do with my but I would spoil and treat him with the utmost respect and love with small things such as a hug a shy kiss a smile :) I would drive him crazy though and have fun doing so and enjoy trying to get him out of his comfort zone trying everything I can to make him smile maybe even laugh :) give him a rose for a change :) if Erik was my Valentine I would make sure the day is about him more than me :*
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting, Denise!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the opportunity I'm so excited!
DeleteI'm excited, too. There will be 3 or 4 judges. The winner will be announced on the 15th!
ReplyDeleteJust as Erik lost the love of his life when he lost Christine I too lost the love of my life when my Dan'l passed away. I think we could lift each others spirits and who knows what might happen? Could a person actually have two soul mates?
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting and entering. I'll need you to email me your name and address in case you win.
DeleteWhat a fun contest!
ReplyDeleteI'm withdrawing myself from this challenge, because a few people above deserve this bracelet more than I, but I love the question, so I'm going to answer anyway.
First of all, I am not into the book Erik (I have just reread the novel and he is too egotistical and crazy for my taste, I also don't think I can live with someone who smells of death), but I love ALW version of Phantom. I always felt he was infatuated with Christine and that if they did end up together they would drive each other crazy.
Phantom deserves someone who can stand with him on a creative and intellectual level. He's an artist, I'm an artist. He likes teaching people to sing, as a soprano I can use a few lessons. He strives for perfection, so do I. He wants to share his work with the world, probably travel and experience life -- ditto. He's considered odd, I've always been odd. He's single, I'm single. Need I go on? ��
