Little bit of blogging first and then I'll get to the free stuff. :)
I haven't managed a day off from work..............yet. But it's coming!!!
Etsy shop is closed down now and I *was* going to wait until this weekend to shut the web store down but I rethought it and now that will be closed sometime tomorrow too. Three weeks without a day off and an annoying bout of dizziness the last couple days have me waving the white flag. I need time to regroup; physically, mentally and just about any other 'ally you can think of. lol
(Also: need to finish cleaning my house and Xmas decorating. The tree is up - with lights but no ornaments on it. *sad*)
I did manage to put together some stuff for a holiday giveaway though!
A little bit of everything - so something stitchy for stitchy peeps and something beady for beady peeps, etc.
The stitchy stuff is a brand-new Blackbird Designs stocking pattern (I overbought but my whoopsie is your gain!) and I made a handy-dandy fabric thread catcher to match. The fabrics on the thread catcher aren't OVERTLY Christmasy though if you want to use it year-round. (I can't promise a couple beads won't work their way into this offering too though. Heh.)
For the beady stuff I did up four different hatted snowmen and wired them up with Swarovski crystals and put them on coordinating lobster claw lariats. Perfect to put on a pair of scissors, your cell phone, etc. - or take it off the lariat and put it on a chain for a necklace! (I went with snowmen because they can work as a trinket all winter long vs. just a few weeks in December.)
So FIVE separate things to giveaway! :)
Here is how you can get them:
1. To enter all you have to do is
email me. ( I will ship it anywhere in the world so everyone is welcome to enter.)
2. If you have no preference on what you'd like to win, no message is needed on your email. If you'd prefer one thing (stitchy) vs the other (beady) then feel free to put that in your message.
3. If you are a follower of this blog, let me know and I will
enter your name in twice. I do so appreciate my followers and the
comments I get here so of course you guys get extra special attention.
:)
(If you are not a follower but want to be, just click the 'follow' link on the right side bar. Everybody has a Google account at this point................right?)
4. I will draw the winners names next Tuesday, December 18th using the random number generator. and contact the winners by email for their mailing addresses.
And that's it. Easy-peasy, right? :)
GOOD LUCK!
