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.

I made felt ornaments (25) for my closest friends.
I recycled burned out lightbulbs by wrapping them in jute and glueing a short twig on top — they look like pears.
I made a crazy good queso blanco.

HAND IT TO ME! My mom and I made our Simple Sesame cookies that we make every year. I also tackled my first batch of doggie biscuits, packed them all up and shipped them 2300 miles away to my guy and his family. Mom didn’t read the card first and ate a dog biscuit “they’re good!” lol.

This Chrismas I did my annual handmade Christmas Card.
This year it was of an old time tricycle with the big tire on the front. Tires were made from paper rosettes and the flag attached said Happy Holidays Y’all! Can you tell I am from Alabama! :-) I also made some little treasure bags from rescused antique quilts and attached ribbons and flowers and all kinds of stuff to them. They are cute hanging on the tree & later just hang them up to put a tiny treasure in.
Oh, and I have to tell you I made the ornaments you made with the glass balls & feathers… sent one to my sister in law on a pretty ribbon to hang it and she didn’t know what it was!!! That was so funny & next time I will send directions. Open gift, hang on tree! Enjoy!!
Thanks for all the happiness you share with us & wishes for a fabulous 2012!
