Fab Freebie: Gotta Hand It To You
***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
Thanks to random.org, we’ve got a Merry (belated) Christmas prize going out to… Kristin Aune (who made t-shirts for both of her kids, ornaments, buckeyes and has been trying to perfect her fudge pie recipe). Congrats!
Wahoo. Hope you guys all had an awesome holiday weekend (you can see a sliver of ours here). As we mentioned on Friday, we’ll be stopping in with one quick post each day this week (amongst family hosting, feverish book-deadline writing, and priming & painting all of our kitchen cabinets). But we couldn’t wait to share today’s giveaway that we wrangled after seeing so much amazing stuff at our local Handmade Holiday craft fair. So this week’s lucky winner will get:
- An 8×10 letterpress print (any choice of quote & color), a set of blueprint notes (airplane, boat, golfcart, knots, wave, or lighthouse) and a leather blank book from Almanac Industries. These Baltimore-based bookbinders and letterpress gurus bring a wonderful worn and masculine vibe to these printed prizes.
- $50 towards Funnel Cloud Studio on Etsy. Obviously we love her Virginia-themed art, but she also has a bunch of cheerful patterned prints and cheeky illustrations to choose from too.
- A 26-letter ornament set and this green vase from Turnerbots. And we thought our J, S, C and B initial ornaments were cool. Someone’s about to get a whole alphabet full of candy colored ceramics, along with a V-A-S-E.
- $50 towards Zou Zou’s Basement on Etsy. We loved the bunny print that we bought, and this $50 is enough to snag two of her colorful prints.
- PRIZE: Everything mentioned above
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “HAND IT TO ME” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … what you’ve made with your own hands recently. Did you bake something for the holidays? Did you give a handmade gift this weekend? Or have you tackled a DIY or homemade art project recently?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, December 28th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
- DISCOUNT: 10% off any item in Turnerbots’ Etsy shop until January 15th, 2012 with the coupon code YOUNGHOUSE.
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…
Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Funnel Cloud Studio, Turnerbots, Almanac Industries and Zou Zou’s Basement.

HAND IT TO ME!
I decked out our house for Christmas this year with lots of handmade decorations- a felt banner, stockings, spray painted pine cones.. anything I could do to make it feel homey and save a few bucks at the same time!

My addiction to Pinterest has me creating a lot of things lately. The last thing I made would have to be a nice square Christmas wreath for my front door. I also busted out a pan of ever so addicting Cherry Bing Bars. I just got a sewing machine from my lovely hubby so I’m sure I’ll be rocking out plenty of things soon.
Hand it to me! I made Photo Canvas gifts for the family this year, felt poinsettia and rose pins for teacher gifts, and baked bread for our neighbors. I also cooked up a storm this weekend: jam cookies, sugar cookies, cinnamon rolls, enchiladas, and artichoke dip.
Hand it to me! No recent projects, but potential painting of the guest room is on tap for this week.
Hand it to me! I’ve been baking like crazy with the holidays around!

Love following your blog – thanks so much for a chance to win a great prize package.

I need a glitter intervention after this holiday. Pictures of cute little people made into ornaments with scrapbook paper and Glitter! Fun, non-breakable- memory ornaments for the tree. Kind of like Clara’s monthly pic – this will provide a yearly remembrance of special nephews.

I decided at noon on Christmas Eve that I wanted to bake treats for a group of friends that would be going to Christmas Eve church service. We weren’t able to go this year because my husband was on call for work, so I made treats and delivered them to their porches when I knew they would be at church! :)
