It's the holiday season and I want to give you a gift. I'm having a de-stash giveaway here at the blog and you are invited. Just post a comment here on the blog (any post, read away!) and on the the 14th I'll pick a winner. On the 15th I'll notify them and the rest of the beady world.
What's in my stash? Well, this photo is just the beginning. The REAL de-stash gift will include fibers from my personal Jars Of Ribbon (I'll post a picture one day this week), beads from my Way Over Stocked beady bins (again, I promise photos!), and maybe even an unpublished tutorial or project instruction for you to play with! It will all fit in a Priority Mail box and I'll mail it to you, free.
International address? No problem. I'll send you a gift, from me to you!
Are you local? Great, then I won't even have to seal up your box; you can come pick it up at the shop and I'll make you a cup of tea!
Doesn't this sound like a great idea? It is...it's so great the all the bloggers listed below are participating. Go see them and comment on their posts, too.

I totally should have gotten in on this. I have more beads than I know what to do with! But of course, that doesn't stop me from wanting more, and raiding your stash would make me happy indeed! Enjoy the day!

ReplyDeleteSounds awesome. I would love to win some Cynthia goodies.
ReplyDeleteCindy & I just left your store an hour ago after making the new earring tutorial Flower Fireworks on your blog. Quick and fun way for us to connect with eachother and the Ornamentea Muses. They sparkle so prettily in the sunlight and on the elevator I had a compliment already. I am curious to know what you are doing with the table you were carting in though just now...
ReplyDeleteSmiles, Jennifer Braley
