It’s been a VERY long time since I’ve done a giveaway. (In case you’re curious, I did one at the beginning of June of 2009, another in the middle of June 2009, one at the beginning of July 2009, one in the middle of July 2009, one in July 2010, one in August of 2010 and one in September 2010).
//EDIT// I posted this giveaway and realized that today is also Giveaway Day on Sew Mama Sew. I’m featured on the handcrafted items page.
Last time I did one, I had a trivia question. But I’m going to make this one really easy.
First — the prize?
A teeny tiny wallet of your choice — one of these two:
What do you have to do to win, you ask? Simple. Just comment on this post with which one of these you prefer if you win. Make sure your e-mail address is correct when you fill out the comment box or I will have no way of contacting you if you win. Want another entry? Tweet or facebook about the contest, and leave a comment on this post with a link to the tweet or post. Want yet ANOTHER entry? Follow me on Networked Blogs (check out the sidebar over here on the right).
Contest ends on Memorial Day (Monday, May 30). I will randomly choose a winner by using random.org’s generator. Good luck!
I’ve not been creating anything fabulous and new lately. And that’s because my etsy store has been pretty well stocked and I don’t have room for anything else in my apartment.
SO … I’m having a January Blowout Sale!
For my retail shop (www.chimes.etsy.com) use the code JANUARYBLOWOUT to receive 30% off any item in the store.
I have a couple of things listed at 50% off in my wholesale shop — my little birdies bowls and little birdies plates. Both are normally priced $35 for 5 bowls or plates (one bowl/plate is $10 on its own) but they’re $17 for 5 now.
Spread the word! And happy etsy-ing!
Well this is lame.
I’ve done giveaways before and people have gone nuts, but this is kind of lame. One comment.
Sooo the winner of the camera case by default is … ADRIA!
And since she was my one and only comment, I’m going to allow her to choose which camera case she wants. 
Don’t worry. If you missed it, I’ll be doing another giveaway soon.
wow. I don’t remember the last time I did a giveaway, but I think it’s high time I do another.
What am I giving away? Well, how about a camera case (which can also be used for phones and iPods)?
Gotta love the cute little birdies fabric. One of my favorites!
How do you win, you say? Well … it’s easy. Sort of anyway. 
It really is just the luck of the draw.
TO ENTER:
Thanks for playing, and I will announce a winner on August 1 by using the random integer generator.
Everything is fair game this month.
Both my stores, chimes design and toDIYfor, are having a 20% off special this month. To participate, convo me on etsy with the item you’d like to apply the sale to and I’ll adjust the price and reserve it for you.
An extra 5% off if you blog or tweet about my sale and include the link to your blog post/tweet in your convo.
Easy peasy.
As per usual, I’m offering free shipping to Des Moines and Ames as long as we can arrange a drop off/pick up.
Hey all!
I’m doing another giveaway. I’m loving this. I promise I’ll craft something up for the next one, but in the meantime, I found these awesome pens that I thought would make a good giveaway.
They’re fine point permanent markers in several different colors. Good for sketching, journaling, scrapbooking or whatever you fancy.
All you have to do to win is comment on this post with your name and what you would do with them if you win. I’ll pick a winner on July 31 with random.org’s random number generator.
Good luck!!
Today is the 15th and the day I promised to pick a winner for the giveaway. I’ll be a little late to work today b/c I totally forgot about it until just now, but I would probably have been late anyway. It happens when you live a block away. You think the walk to work takes 0 mins when it really takes about 5-8.
Anyway…. THE WINNER IS:
CAROL!
Which is exciting because she really wanted it.
I exempted myself from comments and Aik because she was just commenting to add to her giveaways blog.

I’m cooking up another giveaway. I have something of the more arts and crafts related genre ready to be given away.
Time for another giveaway!
This is the 3rd one I’ve done, and I’m loving it! I gave away a Birdies Plate and a Mermaid Bag.
Up for grabs this time is a Manifesto Poster from Lululemon Athletica in blue. I acquired this from my co-worker when she left last week to embark an a new life adventure, and I don’t have any room for it in my cube! It’s a really cool design, and it’s got a lot of great pieces of inspirational text.
Here’s a picture of the poster:
To participate, just leave a comment (of any sort) on this post. I’ll use random.org to pick a winner on July 15.
Good luck!
