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!).
Back with the worst Arnold impression ever. But back, nonetheless.
My last post here was waaaaaaaaaay back in August, and it's been a busy few months. I'm finally getting back into the swing of things after having moved 700 miles across country. Now I have to get back into the swing of keeping this blog updated with cool stuff!!
I can't possibly record everything that went on since August (packing, moving, driving, unpacking, getting our house ready to sell, driving some more, unpacking some more...), so I'm just going to start with some new news. (New news? Is that right?)
I have FINALLY begun listing some of my original peyote cuff patterns on Etsy!!! Yahoooooo!!! It took me months to get my act together, but I have six patterns done so far and a whole bunch more on the list to be done. You can check them out here.
And now that I'm done with all that moving stuff, I'm back to playing with my beads. I still have to take pictures of a bunch of pieces, but here are the newest listings in my Etsy shop:
See? Told you I'd been busy!
By the way, the Coppery Cubes and Curls is my BAO Item of the Week for this week, so if you purchase and pay for it before midnight on November 12, you'll get a free surprise gift!!
I have lots more beadweaving finished, and lots more underway, so my blog is going to be filling up with pictures. :-)
And... I have a whole new line of bracelets I'm going to be introducing next week. Stay tuned.
CONTEST Announcement!!! There are some really nice and talented people selling their handmade wares on Etsy, and zero (whose real name is Aija) is one of them. She purchased a bunch of my little recycled atlas envelopes and uses them when she ships out her creations. Aija makes the coolest little knitting stitch counters using all kinds of things -- freshwater pearls, natural gemstones, paper beads, and other stuff.But the thing that really draws my attention is Aija's blog, sockpr0n, where she posts photos of the incredible things she knits.And now... Aija's having a CONTEST! She's awarding gift certificates from a variety of Etsy shops, mine included. The contest ends on March 20, so be sure to check it out and enter!!!Here's the link to the blog: http://www.sockpr0n.blogspot.com/You can check out her shop here: http://zero.etsy.com/
HOLY COW!!!
