Spider Winners!

The random generator has picked two numbers...and here are winners and their comments for the two spiders offered in the Give-a-Way this week.   Tammi Martinez: "Oh my what beautiful spiders!! I have a wall dedicated to breast cancer, on the wall she would go!!"
Sandy Arthur: These are so nice. I would give this as a gift to a friend who has a spider fetish - after I enjoy it for a few days first.
PLUS... I was so touched by one of the comments...and they did not get picked by the RG...so, I decided to gift a third spider (from my two pieces that I have squirrled back for personal use)...to:   Susie W: "OMG girl .... I know EXACTLY what I will do with that spider. She will reside "front and center" on my PINK Christmas Tree Skirt. I will stitch a Kreinik very fine braid pink spider web for her (to make her feel right at home). You must admit it is destiny for me to win a "pink" spider (made by the originator of CQJP) to place as the finishing touch of my "pink CQJP" project!! hehehe".   So, another lesson learned...leave a comment from the heart. And, it just might get you a second chance on winning!  

Give-A-Way Time!

Look what I found last week hiding in my bead stash! I had tucked these two back for some reason...and forgot about them. So, let's draw and give them to two lucky winners!   The 2 Rules for winning are simple...   1) Leave a comment that answers this question: "What would you do with a four-inch pink beaded spider?"   2) Make sure your comment includes an email address or link to your Blogger profile with email...so I can contact you for a mailing address. No email...and you are disqualified...as I simply do not have the time to "hunt you down".   That's it...just leave a comment..and make sure I can email you if your comment is randomly selected.  The time frame for the give-a-way will be until this Saturday, . So you have until midnight...CST (my time)...Friday, 5 April 2013 to leave your comment. Comments will not appear right away...as I'm still moderating. But, if you leave one...I WILL get it.  Make sure I can contact you easily! I'll select two winners at random. Let you know by email if you win...and post the winners on the blog Saturday morning (once you respond to my email asking for your mailing address). Good Luck!   So, who wants a spider?

Give-A-Way!!

We have not done a Give-A-Way in a little while...so, let's celebrate the beginning of spring (even with snow still on the ground in some parts of the country...and other countries!)  Here are THREE silk ribbon pendants...a large gold, a large silver, and a small gold. These are not precious metals...just plated. But, each is hand-stitched with loads of love! And, they are very pretty...and, they can be mailed anywhere that accepts US Standard First Class mail! So, all of my international followers can participate too! How to win? Easy...   FIRST: Just leave a comment on THIS POST...and tell me WHICH of these three you'd most like. SECOND: Make sure that you also have your Blogger Profile set to include your email so that you can be contacted...or put your email address within your comment. If I can't email you...you will be dis-qualified.   That's it...how easy is that! Using the random generator...I'll select three numbers...and these will folks will be contacted for shipping addresses...and advised of which pendant they have won. The drawing will take place on April 1st...so you have until midnight CST on the 31st of March to enter the drawing.    Good Luck!   4/1/2013 - Edited to add: This give-a-way is closed...winners have been selected.

Followers: Give-a-Way Time!

If you purchase a book...and find that you already own it...does that mean that you have too many books? No, I didn't think so. I prefer to think that it means that the book was so good you just could not pass it up...again!So, here I am...with two copies of Sabine Lippert's Beaded Fantasies...and it is seriously stupendous.Just jam packed with beautiful projects. Her beading style is very ornate, and she uses loads of crystals and seed beads. So the supplies are easily found here in the states, although she is from Germany. Just search on her name, and you'll find tons of examples of her work! Gorgeous projects!

 So, one of my followers will be winning this book soon.Want it to be you? Just leave a comment letting me know that you follow the blog, and it could be!I'll randomly select a winner on Sunday afternoon! 

 I need to be able to contact you to let you know you have won...so check to see that your Blogger Profile is up to date and includes your email address. Or just leave that into within your comment. After the winner has been selected, I'll be deleting all of the comments to this post...Hugs! UPDATE: 29 July, 12:56...Yeah, we have a winner...she will be getting an email shortly, and will have 24 hours to respond with a mailing address.But...she is one lucky lady, because she was the 2nd random pick.The first random pick...did not have an updated profile...and I could not get an email address to contact her. She has a blog...but no email there either. Not naming any names...but...check your profile.Make sure to click the "show my email address" or it is useless for you to enter any contests that require the host to contact you. Just saying...someone missed out today!But, Marianne got lucky as the final winner!

Birthday Celebration!

And we're going to have a Give-A-Way to Celebrate It! All make it pretty simple...cause I'm just too old (and too full of turkey!) to make it very complicated! But, let's make it fun too!

To keep the postage costs down...the prize will be soft...as in embroidery threads, lace, silk ribbon, silk threads...etc. The twist is that there will be FIFTY SIX items!! So, celebrate my birthday with me by posting a comment...and you could be the winner!!

The rules: (1) Comment must include a way for me to contact you...so make sure your profile (or the comment itself) has a good email or I'll just move to the next winning entry! (2) Include in your comment a birthday wish rhyme. Yep, ya have to work for it a little...so put your thinking cap on!! (3) Everyone only gets one chance...so repeats won't be counted.

Good Luck!

 

Congratulations to Cathy K. as the winner of the birthday give-a-way. Thanks to all the folks who left comments, they were funny and I enjoyed reading them...and some of you are very clever. The winner was selected using a random generator number.
