Roseworks is Hosting My Giveaway

I love entering giveaways and figured it's about time I do one myself. So hop on over to Roseworks Jewelry blog for a chance (actually, there are 5) to win my Janet Handbag.

Slugs Come Home

A little while back I won a gift certificate to the Etsy shop MissusD. As usual, I got a few "extras" before I checked out. I couldn't resist her slugs - I got one for me & one for my son. And now that my hair is long, the yo-yo flower pony holders had to come home to me also. There was even a surprise inside...cool button earrings!!!


This is the end journey for these slugs....

I hope I didn't scare them off. Guess I should have opened the box further away from the big scary sewing machine :P

You can see some of their friends' adventures on her blog....like the Siamese twins planning a holiday or heading out on that holiday.

One World One Heart

****Giveaway is closed...thanks to all who entered****

I tagged along to last year's One World One Heart event and had a blast - met some great people, found some great blogs and won some cool goodies. And now it's time for another round. So I got my ticket and am ready to ride...

Quick info for those that have no idea what I am talking about. Lisa from A Whimsical Bohemian blog hosts this event. It started in 2207 with roughly 85-90 participants - 2008 tripled that and last year had 911 participants from 28 countries!!!

I like how she puts it, "The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way." So while yes, there are prizes to be won, that is not the point. Opening your blog "house" and meeting others is. So come on in. The journey ends Feb 15th...but you are welcome back anytime. Like she says, "it's not meant for ... self promotion. Meaning that the mission of this event is to meet new people and them meet you, rather than be a commercial for each persons specific endeavors."

Have a look around - say hi & don't forget to leave a note saying you stopped in. (that is your "ticket"...no hoops, no red tape, just leave a comment to win...remember, you're here to mingle, not 'shop'). If you are having this event at your blog house, leave us a link so we can visit too. Oh, and since there is a prize...don't forget to leave some contact info if there is none in your profile....e-mail or shop is fine.

Anything else? Oh yeah - the winning ticket from this blog will get a $25 gift certificate from either one of my shops - Etsy or Artfire. I couldn't decide on just one bag since everyone has such different tastes. Heck, if you make the same stuff I do & would rather grab some goodies from my destash shop - that works too.

Thanks for stopping in!

A Few More Days For My Giveaway

....CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED...
The winner: Just Jingle

The prize is a flying pig feltie/stuffie...whatever you like to call them. He (or she) is about 6 inches tall, minus the wings. There is a tab for hanging the little guy so he can truly soar..well, float there in the air while dangling on a string.



The contest is done in conjunction with Pigatopia - where Shannon, the artist behind the pigs, helps out Noahs Ark. It's nice to know that such a great gal is out there helping all our little furry friends who can't help themselves.

One World One Heart Giveaway

I have been wanting to do a giveaway for a while now and have just found the perfect way to go about it...with a ton of other bloggers! Lisa from A Whimsical Bohemian who is hosting this event on One World One Heart is the mastermind behind this event. Read what she has to say:

"The whole idea behind doing this and trying to get as many as possible to join in, was and is to meet new and wonderful people. Bloggers come from all walks of life, all socioeconomic backgrounds, all areas of the world, female, male...we all have stories to tell... we can be inspired or inspire others by finding a blog and taking the time to read...a spark happens...an understanding and shared passions in life"

"We are not solving the worlds problems nor are we curing anything nor are we changing the world. We are merely generating a closer community between humans through blogging."

I am going to have TWO PRIZES to giveaway. You don't have any hoops to jump through - no other sites to go check out first - nor do you have to already be a part of any online selling venue. You just need to leave me a note here before February 11th midnight EST. Be sure to give me a way to be able to contact you. I will be choosing the winners on February 12th using a random number generator at random.org.

Prize #1

Prize #2

Don't forget to check out everyone else that is participating!

And PLEASE - don't forget to leave me a way to contact you...leave your blog link or if you have a shop - leave that & I can message you there...heck, if you have a shop, leave it anyway so we all can go and have a peek :)

EtsyMom Super Giveaway

The Etsymom Street Team is prepping for the holidays by taking the time-honored tradition of gift-giving to another level! Riding the wave of unity, harmony and excitement inspired by the Etsymom Trunk Show in September, our team tossed around a few ideas about our next team event. A little idea of having a giveaway, where Moms would donate an item to be given away each day of November on our blog has morphed into a SUPER GIVEAWAY!! When the call for volunteers went out we had an overwhelming response of over 60 shops willing to donate a $10.00 in value item to this cause. Two winners will be randomly chosen everyday to receive one of over 50 prizes.. Donations will range from an assortment of hand embroidery, vintage finds, hair clippies, baby accessories, paper crafts, earthenware pottery and more. Perfect for gift-giving! There is a little bit of everything, so whether you like trendy, shabby chic, traditional or retro styles, you're sure to find something! Don't miss this ONLINE EXTRAVAGANZA. Visit us here beginning November 1st for giveaway rules and deadlines!
