HOLY COW!!!That's what you say when you receive an email saying you've won the Artbeads.com 10th Anniversary $1,000 Shopping Spree Sweepstakes!!!
At least that's what I said. Then, being the skeptic I am, I contacted Artbeads Customer Support to find out if the person who emailed me was legit.
She was. (Customer Support responded very quickly!)
And I did!!! I won!!! I can still hardly believe it.
I spent yesterday afternoon grinning from ear to ear. Truth be told, I've been grinning today, too. Now I just have to decide what I want. Let's see... what could I get?
BEADS!!! Because I love beads. Can't have enough of 'em. :-)
And even though my name's not Earl, I'm thinking there might be something to this karma thing... so I'm going to be doing some giveaways on my blog and to my Facebook fans for the remainder of the month. Not a Facebook fan yet? Click here to visit my page.
So let's start the karmic ball rolling with a giveaway, right here on this blog! For your chance to win a time2cre8 $25 Gift Certificate, do one or all of the following (the more you do, the more chances you have to win):
1. Leave a comment here telling me what you would buy with a $25 gift certificate to my shop (don't worry - I won't hold you to that choice!).
2. Blog about this giveaway and leave a comment with a link to your blog post.
3. Tweet about this giveaway, and include @time2cre8 in your Tweet. Leave a comment here letting me know you tweeted.
4. Link to this post on Facebook. Leave a comment here with a link to your Facebook link.
If you do all four of those things, you'll leave four comments here on my blog and have four chances to win! (All comments must be made on my blog, not on my Facebook page.)
Be sure I have a way to contact you: leave your email address, Etsy shop name, Artfire shop name, or something in your comment(s).
Entries/comments must be made by midnight (EST) on Tuesday, March 9. Early on Wednesday (after I've had my latte, of course), I'll use a random number generator to choose the winner. It'll be announced here later on Wednesday.
Good luck! And stay tuned for more giveaways this month ($25 goes even farther this month, since I'm having a 28% off sale on everything in my shop!).

I just blogged about your give-away on HigginsDesignStudio.blogspot.com
...and it aut-fed to Facebook where I posted it on my wall. You can find me as Cindy Earl Higgins there... And I also became a fan of your Facebook page!
If I won - I would have to give my certificate to my sister Cindy (Higgins Design Studios) and let her pick out anything SHE wanted - it'd be the only way to keep peace in the family! :-)

Count me in on your giveaway. I'd choose patterns...can't say which ones cause I'd have to eenee, meeenie.

Firstly, congratulations! (*jealous here!*) Secondly, I found it very hard to choose just one lovely from your shop, I think the Angel Feather cuff was my favourite though! :)
Grats on the bead winning jackpot!!
If I won I don't know what I would choose, I love it all!
I'm sure you will not be surprised that I would love to get this one!

I'll get busy posting about your give-away! Congrats on your win!Cheers.
Well, MaryLou, one thing I would buy in your shop is the new Poppies cuff pattern!! I love it! That's what happens when you disappear for 5 days, all kinds of new things appear!!
That is just so dang cool MaryLou. Big congratulations to you, have fun shopping!
I'd put it towards this: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41407524
It seems so simple, yet so intricate :D Love it!
Congratulations on winning the $1000 and for sharing your winnings with some lucky person. If I won your $25 give away, I would buy one of the canvas on wood pendents because the subject matter is close to home (California beach and ocean scense). Or, I might buy some Rivoli crystals to use in a Ubete bracelet design I just learned.

Congrats on the Win MaryLou!!! =D I would Love to buy your Fabulous Coppery Cubes and Curls - Oglala Bracelet in Copper and Silver (3105.
I'm posting this on my FB too: http://www.facebook.com/MixesJewelry?ref=profile.
Enjoy the Spree! =)) Mx
Congrats on your win and the generosity to share with others of your prize. If I won your giveaway, I might buy Rivoli cyrstals to make an Ubete bracelet, or buy a canvas on wood pendant because the subject matter of the paintings are close to me (the ocean and beach), or buy more Lilipilly shell pendents, or Swarovski bicones...okay, there's too much to choose from.

How incredibly cool that you won the artbeads contest! Wow, wow and wow!

Whoops, in my excitement for you, I neglected to say what I would do with the credit if I win.
That's an easy one! I will buy probably over $25.00 worth of your awesome patterns, that's what I'd do! :)
