De-stashing Giveaways!

Posted by admin on November 19, 2008

Between reassessing all my craft stash supplies and narrowing down my focus on what I’ll be crafting for the next six months or so, I’m going to start going through all my craft supplies and clearing house. Rather than list all of it on Etsy, trash it, or drop it off at the Goodwill, I thought I’d do a few giveaways.

So on the following dates (November 24, December 1, December 8, and December 15) I’ll be posting a craft giveaway over at my personal blog, Craftivist. Each week will be a mix of scrapbook supplies, yarns and more, and will be enough to fill one priority flat rate box. The goal is to ship them all out so you can have them by the holidays, but that last giveaway might be an “after Christmas” package.

At any rate, be ready, because each giveaway will be a randomly selected comment from the post featuring the week’s giveaway – and each week you’ll have to answer a different question to be entered to win! Nothing difficult, but just enough to get your brains working, along with a short time-frame for entering (no more than 24 hours). So be on the lookout next Monday!

Indie Fixx Contest Winners!

Posted by admin on

We won, people! We won!

Remember when I posted about the Indie Fixx huge holiday giveaway, and all you had to do was go over and comment on it and you could be a winner? It seems that one of Craft and Found’s readers (Laura – comment #157) was the winner! And because of that, I won a huge giveaway as well! So congratulations to Laura, who got tons of amazing things!

And once I get my giveaway, and pore through it hugging and petting everything, I might just have a few things to hand out to all you wonderful readers as well. Just sayin’.
