Giveaway No 5
Free Giveaways!
I am participaing in the One World-One Heart event , organised by Lisa. It’s great fun, but the purpose behind it is to bring all the like-minded bloggers across the world together, by means of a reason to visit each others sites…a freebie giveaway! I love visiting other artists and craft people’s sites. It’s good to make connections and to learn new techniques, styles and find inspiration. The thing I’ve most noticed during my two days participation is that it appears to me that it is women who particpate – sorry guys…I may not have reached you yet, and that everyone has a lovely word for everyone else. Ok, so we would all like to be entered in the contests for the freebies, so we aren’t going to say…’oh and by the way, your blog isn’t very good’ are we? But it’s more than that. People are genuinely interested, and often take the time to email you separately afterwards to thank you. I am very impressed. At the risk of being bull-dozed flat, I have to say I still maintain the world would be a better place if run by females(for the most part anyway) ;(
Ok, I’m out of hiding now!
I have decided that because the response is so much better than I expected, I will offer some more freebies. Not having been prepared for this I am falling back on things already made, and I am going to have to make some more gift cards. What I am going to offer now is five prizes…as drawn from the proverbial hat. They will be :
1) The three cards you see below in the previous post
2) Another three gift cards, similar to the others, with earrings.
3) A set of three birthday cards…similar designs, but without the earrings
4) Two pairs of earrings made with semi-precious stones
5) A set of toppers, suitable for cards or tags.
As soon as I get a chance I will photograph them and post here, but for the moment, I have to get busy and start creating! I just thought that the more separate prizes, the more likelyhood that folk will win something somewhere. Everyone is so deserving!
DON’T FORGET…THE DRAW WILL TAKE PLACE ON VALENTINE’S DAY, FEB 14TH at MIDDAY, GMT ( as I am in UK).
Now, back to the design board. Catch you all later, and GOOD LUCK!.
Another update!
Giveaway no 3…
Three birthday cards, two in similar vein to the Gift cards, but I have also included another which is totally different. The cat is my own artwork by the way. The flower cards are left blank inside for your own message, and the Cat card reads, ‘Many Happy Returns’ inside.


Giveaway No.4
Here is a group of earrings for the earring prize (no.4). The winner of this prize can choose two pairs out of the six pairs illustrated. All the earrings are made with semi -precious gems and have either silver plate or gold plate findings. From top left clockwise..
Yellow, Carnelian (I think) , much more pale yellow than the photo suggests.
