Free Give Away - Fused Glass Pendant

 
Let's try another give away, I am so excited about my new fused glass projects that I want to share my excitement! My first one didn't go so well as I only had a few people enter - so hopefully this one works out a bit better.





You win your choice of one of the above three pendants. They are all fused glass tiles with silver plated bails.

- One entry for leaving a comment
- One entry for mentioning the give away on your blog (just be sure to leave me a comment letting me know you did that)
- One entry for following my blog
- I will do the drawing on Monday, August 17th (hopefully it will cheer up someone's Monday)
 
 

Give-Away

So apparently Give-Aways are not the way to draw people to your blog =) - but it was an interesting experiment. I only had three people enter so they each get something - I am delivering the prizes via Capricious - congrats and thanks for entering!

In Chase news - the kiddo can finally consistently count to 10 and to my surprise he knows about half of his ABCs. The bad Chase news is that he is in another "No" phase, everything is "No Daddy" or "No Mommy", there is a lot of sass going around our house lately. We have even had a few tantrums because I said no and meant it and Chase wasn't pleased with the decision. Unfortunately Chase got stubbornness from both of his parents...

As mentioned in my previous blog entry, Philigry is doing a give-away. I decided that sounded like a lot of fun so I'm going to do one too (again not sure if enough people check out my blog but I thought I would give it a whirl).


- One entry for leaving a comment.
- An additional entry for each new person that leaves a comment saying that they heard about my blog from you (the new person and you will both get an entry).
- One entry for mentioning the give away on your blog (just be sure to leave me a comment letting me know you did that).
- One entry for checking out my Etsy shop (www.beyondimagination.etsy.com) - leave me a comment letting me know you did this too.
- I will do the drawing on May 8th.


I decided to go with jewelry since most of the people I know either knit, scrapbook, crochet, or sew so I figured anything I would give away in those areas people could make for themselves.


Also, I actually have 3 "prizes"... no winning more than once so there will be 3 winners.


Give-Away 1 - Two Scrabble Tile Pendants


Give-Away 2 - Book Thong



Give-Away 3 - Glass Tile pendant

Give-Away!

One of the blogs that I follow (Philigry) is doing a free give-away! The fabric samples that she is giving away are really great - how exciting. It makes me think to myself that I should do one, then again I am not sure that I have a big enough of a blog following to make it worth it.

In other news, my life recently has been consumed by 1) a bummer of a flare in my illness - which I am blaming on the weather and 2) trying to decide what to do about our house. Do we buy an existing house, build a new house, or try to stay where we are and fix up the house? So many choices!!! It makes my brain hurt. Hopefully in the new week or two we will make a decision.

Lastly a Chase update. Chase has been adorable lately - that kid says the cutest things. He is starting to get better at sentences, today he said "I love you Mommy" - so sweet! His favorite book right now is "Katy No Pocket" and he is starting to become afraid of things. He is currently terrified of the picture of a T-Rex in one of his books.
