Congrats OWOH Winners

These are the two custom bracelets I made for the winners of the One World, One Heart giveaway. 

The black one is headed to Dee Dee Quigley in Hazelton, PA, and the pink and purple one is on its way to Lynda Taylor in Australia.  Congrats to both of you!! :)

I won stuff too!
From Greenish Lady in Ireland I won one of these pretty decoupage bowls/vases:

and from the Dark Artists' Guild (The Studio at Crow Haven Farm) I won this nifty little dude:

Thanks so much, both to those who gave away so many awesome things (I actually managed to visit all 911 blogs!! and found some really cool people in the process), as well as those who came and entered my giveaway.  I had a great time finding new people, and the International aspect of it was really awesome -- I'm thrilled to be sending one of my prizes to an international winner, and to have won something from overseas, too. 

If you really wanted one of those bracelets, you can still have one, of course, just drop by You've Got Maille and let me know what colors you want, I'd be thrilled to make one for you.

Last Day for One World One Heart!

Red Zone Stretchy Chainmaille Bracelet - You could design yours like this!

Unless you spend the whole day I doubt you'll get through all of the 911 bloggers giving away goodies, but you can make a nice dent!  At least go to THIS POST on my blog and enter mine, if you haven't, to win colorful stretchy chainmaille bracelets like the one above, your choice of colors!  I'm already over 200 entrants so I will probably give away 2 bracelets!  :)

Then go to the One World, One Heart website and check out some of the other fabulous giveaways.  You have 911 chances to win and the most entrants I've seen on one item was 360 or so, so you have an excellent chance to win something!

My Etsy Valentine: Hearts, Chocolates and Flowers #9
A daily feature till Valentine's Day



Medieval Studded Heart Ring by 3 Rexes Jewelry

We're getting down to crunch time here.  If you haven't ordered something for your valentine, it'd better be good.  So now we're getting to the good stuff.  The crap honey I forgot but look how awesome this is stuff.

There's not much in 3 Rexes' shop that my hubby could buy for me that I wouldn't absolutely adore.  Tons of it is Valentine-perfect, too, go look.  I think I'll probably be asking for tools for the next gazillion holidays, though, and making my own stuff.  So I might have to buy my own 3 Rexes ;)

One World One Heart Giveaway

Just completed a giveaway via Bella Casa (Congrats to the winner, Chris) and YGM is now announcing participation in the One World, One Heart Giveaway. This thing is HUGE! It's currently over 800 people giving something away on their blog! Click on the logo above to go check it out! (after you enter mine!)

As for me, I am giving away a custom stretchy beaded chainmaille bracelet like one of these:

... except that you get to pick your colors. Here are the colors available for the rings:


And the glass beads are available in red, orange, amber, AB clear, AB black, blue-green, blue, purple, matte blue, and pink with swirls.

You choose your 1-2 ring colors (aluminum, top half of the picture, and rubber, bottom half), and your bead color, and I make your bracelet however you like it. There are more examples of these bracelets if you want to see more colors "in action" (I love making them!) on my Etsy site: http://youvegotmaille.etsy.com  Please note that there is a possibility that some colors may not be in stock and you'll have to wait a bit for me to get them back in, but I do try to carry all of those colors all the time.

This contest is available internationally.  Drawing will be February 12, 2009.  If there are enough entries I may give away two bracelets. 

Also be sure to visit the OWOH site and enter more giveaways. I mean, 800 plus! You're sure to win something.  Oh and do tweet the OWOH site if you're a Twitterer!

Blog Circle Giveaway

I have an idea kicking around in my head... I thought if we crafty bloggers could pool resources for a contest/giveaway, it might increase traffic for all of us by people who maybe don't normally frequent blogs.  Here's how it works:

I'll make a list of participating blogs.  Each of us will do a post on the same day advertising the giveaway.  Each blog will have an item they're giving away, which will be posted on the main page.  We'll let it run for a week or two, and for each blog they leave a comment on, the participants will have their name thrown into the hat once (so, the more blogs they visit, the more chances to win).  Also for each purchase from one of the bloggers they can have their name in the hat another time. 

If you're interested in participating leave a comment here with your blog URL and your email.  If there's enough interest I'll start setting it up.
