Envious Jewelry Giveaway

Jewelry lovers take note. I’ve run across another awesome giveaway that is sure to make your babble-loving heart sing. As someone who has lived around crafters, and is a crafter, I’m always on the lookout for new and exciting things. But the people out there who can make their own jewelry just amaze me. I’m sure if I put my mind to it, I could do it myself, but even on the few times I’ve tried it just never looked as cool as those made by others.

That’s why giveaways like this one get me all giddy. If you run over to Mint Green With Envy, you can get in on this cool jewelry giveaway. In conjunction with the owner/designer at Sweeter Than Me Designs, you can win not one, but two pieces from her collection. I had to go check out some of the yummies and realized that choosing just 2 might be a little tougher than I thought. There are a lot of options, and they’re all way cool. But, they’re all limited too, so what you see today may not be there come tomorrow. If you find something you just can’t wait to win, you’ll need to jump in and buy it asap, or contact the owner and talk to her about putting the piece on hold.

As I went through, I found this killer pair of earrings. Being of Irish descent, and a lover of ancient myths, the Tree of Life is one of my favorite symbols. Most ancient cultures believed in the Tree of Life, and this is a beautiful rendition. My other favorite product isn’t so much a piece of jewelry, but a bag of loose beads. Seems the owner of the site is in dire need to reduce her bead inventory and I’d be more than happy to help her out.

If you want to get in on this giveaway, get over to Mint Green With Envy and put in your entries. This contest will run through February 25th, and a winner will be chosen on the 26th. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go get my entries in before you do, as I’m gonna fight for this one. LOL

Fabric Jelly Roll Giveaway

Oh my stars and garters. I just found the giveaway of my dreams. Well, ok, maybe it’s just one of my dreams but who’s really paying attention. I’m a quilter and I have a strange addiction to fabrics. I walk through second-hand stores and garage sales looking for old clothes so I can cut them up and turn them into quilting material. That’s why this giveaway is right up my alley.

No, I’m not working toward a bunch of retro clothes, this giveaway is for a a jelly roll. Not the kind that you eat, sillies. This is for a fabric jelly roll. Within this jelly roll are 40 2-1/2″x44″ strips of material in vintage colors. I dig vintage stuff, and I think vintage materials make the coolest quilts. I’m not one of those fancy quilters with all the fancy machines. No, I cut out all my pieces by hand, pin them by hand, and sew them all up on an old 1970′s Singer machine.

If you’re a fabric addict, know that you are not alone. There’s no cure for our affliction, but with this giveaway being held at Audrey’s Give Aways and offered from Fabric Love, you can ease your fabric symptoms and get in on this giveaway. This giveaway through February 26th, and a winner will be drawn at 11pm Eastern time on the 26th.

Freebies And Giveaways

I finally have a line of focus for this site. Most people would take a personalized blog like this and make it their own, but I’ve just never been able to do that. However, I’ve found a whole new world on the Internet that I’m having a blast with. Well, that isn’t exactly true. I’ve dabbled in this strange little world before, but never on this site or with this much enthusiasm. No, I’m not talking about the occult. I’m talking about the wonderful world of the Blog Giveaways.

When I first really got started with blogging, I had a serious blog contest habit. I had a ball until I won a contest and never received my prize. I was pissed, to say the least. And it pretty much turned me off of blogging contests. But, the giveaways and contests I’ve been looking at for the past couple of weeks are a little different. These are put on by a circle of women (and a few men, I’m sure) who all have one major thing in common; they’re all Blogger Mommies!!!!!! Best of all, I are one too. LOLOLOLOL

Anyway, after really going through a few of these blogs, I’ve decided that this little site is the best place for me to start posting about some of the cool giveaways out there. And, because this blog is hooked up to my Facebook account, I’ll be able to pass them along to my minions, er, friends. LOL

I’m fortunate that I have the ability to stay home and do this kind of thing. Of course, I’m able to stay home because of my writing business, oh and that guy that lives here and pays all the bills. (I love you, honey ) But I still understand the meaning of saving money anywhere and everywhere I can, and if I can get in on some freebies in the process, right on. And being a mom, I have no problem passing this information on to my fellow mommies, and daddies.

So, if you happen to notice that this site goes from not having more than 2 posts a month, to having 3 or 4 a day, you’ll know why. If I come across something really cool, I’ll be more than happy to let everyone else know as well. Come on along, let’s see how much stuff we can all get, and how much of it we can get for free.

FREEBIES RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
