Let's have some fun
This Giveaway is Over.
Mother's Day is just round the corner and I am feeling generous.
Mother's Day is just round the corner and I am feeling generous.
Let's have some fun with a giveaway.
Remember this Primrose Path doily from the previous post? That's right, I am putting this up as a giveaway.
Add to that, a book too, woo whoooo!
Celtic Tatting Knots and Patterns by Rozella Linden.
Now what good is a book of tatting patterns if you don't have any thread. So, in goes two balls of Olympus 40.
And when you are done playing with the patterns in the book, have a go at using plastic cabone rings with your tatting.
I think that should be enough to stir some excitement.
Now for the rules of the giveaway .... nothing complicated.
Indicate your interest by leaving a comment on this post and this post only. I will be putting up information about this giveaway in some groups and forum but commentors or posts made in the groups/forum will not be included in the drawing list.
Please leave a method that I can contact you with. I was reminded that putting up an actual e-mail address may be open to risks, so you may want to disguise it in some way. Or, you can send me an e-mail with your contactable e-mail address to jonyusoff @ yahoo.com (remove the spaces before and after @). It would be much better if you have a blog and I can leave a comment on your blog if you are a winner.
One comment will earn only one entry per commentor in the drawing. Mentioning this giveaway in your blog or other sites will not earn additional inclusion in the drawing, but if you do mention it, I appreciate it very much. I will go through each comment and will decide whether it can be accepted or not. I have been receiving some spam comments lately and have been watchful of them.
The giveaway is open from today Friday, April 30th until midnight of Saturday, May 8th determined by the time zone GMT+8. The drawing will be by that random generator thingy and the result will be announced on Sunday May 9th.
I have not decided if I want to go along the way of Jane E's giveaway and not post the comments. I'll see later how I feel about it.
Wow! What a fantastic giveaway! I've been wishing to have that book for a long time, and the doily is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what email addy shows up as ID when I post, but I'm thinking it wouldn't be good for you to post comments with email addresses visible, due to the spam bit. You might want to edit posts to remove the addresses before you allow them to be posted, in order to protect us. My "public" address is roadrunnr@hotmail.com - different than the one you usually see for me. Thanks for the fun!
I am amazed at your willingness to share all your talents! Please sign me up in your drawing! Your doily is very lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness that is some giveaway. I know the doily had to have taken a lot of time to tat and it is beautiful. I will certainly put my name in.

ReplyDeleteThis give away is fantastic! The doily is choice and the colors are my favorites. The book on Celtic tatting is to live for. The Olympus thread is a very nice thread, have used it before and like it. As for the cabon rings, can always use those. Great for the centers of snowflakes, also tat around them then put a piece of cross stitch in the hole or even a picture of a favorite pet or person.Great give away! !

Jon, I wanted to say that I've actually been following your blog for some time now. An older lady friend of mine taught me to tat about 8 months ago, and now I'm hopelessly addicted. I love your blog because you obviously love this wonderful art, but also because you're so willing to share your own creations. I have tried several of your snowflakes, including the off-white one on the left side of your header picture. Done in size 80 varigated blue it looks wonderfully chilly and delicate.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience, and creativity.
And I would love to be included in your give-away.
