There's a plethora of blog owner giveaways. New ones are popping up everyday. I've entered quite a few myself and being a loser most of the time, I surprised myself and actually won a giveaway one time too!
I wonder if there are blogs out there that just blog announcements for the newest blog giveaways, which send readers scurrying over to the giveaway blog to enter.
I want to be on that annoucement list because ......
I'm having a GIVEAWAY!
Yes, indeed, you wonderful bloggers and blog readers deserve something free from me. Afterall, you've been reading my crapliterary works from a genius blog posts for months since the last giveaway. Y'all certainly deserve a chance at something that I've made.
So the giveway is this wool candle mat ... a version of my newest pattern "Stockings of Joy" that I just started selling. No, I'm not giving the pattern away, I'm giving the real handmade candle mat that is MADE from the pattern!
It's all handstitched and 100% wool. Even the backing is wool. It measures about 12 1/2" across. It looks really nice with a dark red candle in the center
If you're turning your nose up at the candle mat picture, stop it! It actually looks much better than that picture. Everyone should know by now that my camera has a hatred for greens. It never gives me the real green color, so please, look at the picture again and imagine a darker shade of green stocking instead of the neon glowing green that you see. There! Now you want to win this, don't you?
Yeah, I thought so. :)
Ok, so all you have to do to enter is COMMENT IN THIS POST.
All you have to do is comment to get one entry to win this. I'd love it if you announced the giveaway in your own blog but you don't have to.
I know there are dozens of readers who don't have blogs ... that's ok. You can enter for a chance too, if you wish. Just comment in this post as ANONYMOUS and give me some way to contact you .. either give your email address or some other indentifying info... like your full name . Or comment with your first name and then email me with your contact info.
The giveway will end on Wednesday, November 18th at 10pm est. My hubby will draw the winning name and I'll announce the winner on Thursday morning.
Good luck!
Happy Day everyone!
