Giveaway Day!

You didn't come here to take part in a philosophical debate on the joys of blogging, did you? (If by chance you did, try yesterday's post).

No, you came for the giveaway to celebrate 100 Struggling postings! Well I'm happy you're here. So let's talk a) swag and b) rules. But after you've entered, please do join Julia and her guests at the Friday party at Hooked on Houses.

Swag!

Two winners will each receive some jewelry, hand-made by Struggler, and a set of notecards, not-hand-made-by-me. Choose from 2 themes and leave a comment if you've a preference which. Sorry that my photography skills stink!

"Playful": 3 dinky bracelets in reds and blues, featuring dolphin/shell/ladybug charms; bright blue notecards. These items have a cute, fun look. The bracelets will best fit a medium-large wrist.


"Thoughtful": a necklace and little bracelet in purples and teals, dragonfly charm; creamy notecards. These are more traditional in their look and the bracelet will fit a small-medium wrist.



Rules!
  1. This giveaway is open until Friday July 10th.

  2. I will ship worldwide, but if you win, you must let me know your address within 2 weeks.

  3. You'll get one entry for each of these:
    • Following this blog (existing followers, you'll get this entry automatically; new followers extremely welcome!).
    • Linking back to this post - tell me you've linked in a comment and I'll come over to sticky-beak.
  4. Randomizer.org will pick the two winners.


Finally, if by chance you're planning a giveaway at your blog, I found this article helpful.

I didn't know yo make jewellery!?
They are all beautiful but with thin wrists and a liking for dragonflies purple and teal the second lot - "Thoughtful" - is the one for me.

I will obviously go off to do linky thing to BOTH my blogs! Right now!

Pretty! I'd like to enter for the "thoughtful" set.

DesignTies said...

I love dragonflies and I love purple, so you know which set I'm choosing!!

I just tried to sign up to follow your blog, but I got an error message :-( I'll try again a bit later. And I'll add a link to your giveaway to the sidebar on our blog. I'll do that this afternoon -- right now, I need to shop!! :-)

You make jewelry? I had no idea. The closure on the one in the bottom left-hand photo is so pretty. It took me a while to realize it was a closure. That's what it is, right? I wanted to go for "Playful" because I tend to root for the underdog, but I don't think medium-large bracelets would work for me, so I'm jumping on the "Thoughtful" train. Sorry, ladybug.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today. I can't use the jewelry, a little too girly for me but then again, I not a girl. Best wishes and congratulations on 100 posts.

Congratulations for 100 posts!

PS.Admittedly I'm not a photographer, but I've seen enough here and there to say that your photos look great. Love the macro detail you gave of your wonderful jewelry.

FrumpyGibbon said...

I linked back to you :)

I don't really have a preference, but if my name is randomised, I guess the "playful" set would be better, as I have biggish wrists.

Congratulations on hitting 100. I'm meandering at a mere almost-60, atm.

Love it ! said...

I would be thrilled to win either as they are both so pretty. :)
Congratulations on "100".

By waiting, this is a strategic entry ;) Maybe that's why I like the "thoughtful" package...

Thanks for dropping by every day.

I'm so glad you're all interested in a bit of wrist or neck adornment.

Welcome especially to new 'followers' - Beloved Husband waggled his eyebrows at me and sighed when I told him my latest joiner is a dog ;)

Tomorrow is the last day for folks to hop on board with this and I'll do the randomizing on Saturday... look for a winner post on Saturday or Sunday.

They are lovely necklaces and bracelets. I'm thinking I'm more a 'thoughtful' type. I've just recently found your blog and have been going back and reading some of the previous posts.

cheers,
