Fab Freebie: Bada-Bing, Bada-Bloom

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

Random.org has helped us select the winner of this craft-tastic giveaway as… Sarah Spitser (who loves the Spring weather, even though in Texas it only lasts about 3 weeks). Congrats!

Last winter we had a blast at the Richmond Craft Mafia’s Handmade Holiday fair (and later gave away some of our favorite finds). And when we caught wind of their Spring Bada-Bing event happening this Sunday we were all sorts of excited. So we worked with them to put together another craft-tastic, wholly-handmade, reeking-of-Richmond prize pack featuring some of the Craft Mafia’s most active members – and it totals over $350 in value! So even if you’re not in RVA this weekend, you can still enjoy some of the crafty talent that brews here in the River City. Here’s a snapshot of all of the prizes with description and links below:

Spring Bada Bing Prizes2

  • An eco-friendly flower pillow with your choice of flower color from Nicole Lee Design
  • A custom-made Birdie Mini-Bowl from Tasha McKelvey
  • One Oilcloth Party Banner and one Chalk Cloth Party Banner from Modern June
  • A pair of clover earrings from KShonk Designs (whose house we’ve crashed!)
  • A custom colored headband for adult or child with any wisdom card  from Silver Tree Art
  • Any hand-painted scarf (up to $62) by Crystal J. Silk, like this “bacon” silk scarf (yum!)
  • Any art print (hand-drawn and screen printed!) from Itty Bitty Press
  • A dangerous animal notebook set from Monkey Dog Studio
  • A baby yak in a custom fur color from Phil Barbato
  • Any ring of your choice from Twist Style

Hope to see some of you locals there on Sunday!

  • PRIZE: Over $350 worth of prizes (see above) from Richmond Craft Mafia members.
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “SPRING ME!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …what part of Spring have you been enjoying most so far? The warmer weather? The flowers and greenery? A Spring Break trip? The pollen? Wait, scratch that last one. Unless, of course, you’re into that sort of thing.
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, April 11th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • DISCOUNT: Get 15% off any purchase in the above mentioned vendors with code YHL15 (good through April 30) <– Please contact specific vendors if there are discount code issues since we can’t fix that, thanks!
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The United States (although we try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
  • 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 the Richmond Craft Mafia members.

    SPRING ME!

    I love everything about Spring, but the GREEN. Spring green is my all-time favorite color. It gives me hope for beautiful days ahead. Rebirth of all those trees in VA…it just makes me HAPPY! I have also been able to spend some wonderful days with my three littles outside this week. Some of my favorite days ever, I think!

    SPRING ME!!!

    Since my husband and I are expecting our first baby in May I have been in high nesting mode getting the house and nursery ready! But what I have also been enjoying is the little family of blue birds in the birdhouse outside my back porch. Every time the mama bird brings a tasty morsel to the babies they chirp with excitement! It is adorable and reminds me how exciting it’s going to be to have my new spring baby in our nest!

    SPRING ME!!!!!!

    I live in the Portland area so I am not sure what spring is yet. While the rest of the country is getting beautiful weather the northwest has just been wet wet wet. I am pretty excited about spring getting her soon. We follow your blog closely since we just bought a new house that needs lots of updating. We should be closing today. My fingers are crossed. Thank you for all you wonderful ideas!!!

    My favorite part of Spring so far has been the 10 days of spring break I had with my 5-year-old Miles. Having him, his 3-year-old brother, and 8-month-old sister all with me all those days gave me a preview of the summer fun ahead and also made me count my blessings that I have been able to stay home with them up until now:)
    P.S. Love your blog. My husband and I joke you two are our dopplegangers. Bizarro Katie and Matt is another name for you around here;)
