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.

    HAND IT TO ME

    Inspired by you guys and my Pinterest cousins I decided to launch my crafty self this holiday season. I successfully spelled out the word TRUST with string/nails on the wall, penned a favorite quote on top of an over-sized acrylic print, (spray) painted a variety of plastic toy animals and candle holders, folded a paper globe, planted a tree made of dead branches indoors, scooped up some candy cane sugar cookies, mixed up a wreath-shaped pomegranate cheesecake and frosted snow-topped cupcakes. I also failed at making string ornaments and mason jar snow globes but am none the worse for wear. Happy holidays!

    HAND IT TO ME!!!–and my Christmas Lasagna! My ex’s family always made a Christmas Lasagna and I loved the idea–make it the day before and on Christmas Day just throw it in the oven. No spending all day in the kitchen while everyone else is busy visiting and enjoying family.

    The only things I’ve really made as of late were a bunch of burned cookies (I’m going to blame the oven older than me in our new house). I do plan on makin quite a few items in the coming weeks since my husband bought me a sewing machine for Christmas!!

    Hand it to me ;)
    This year’s a-little-something gift was loofah soap slices, a favorite from my forays into handmade bath item baskets a couple of years back. Currently crocheting a scrabble-themed baby blanket which should be amazing–hopefully enough so that it will be worth not having it together in time for the shower this week!

    This Christmas I made a new tree skirt, crafted some simple ornaments with the kids, and knit two scarves.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    Hand it to me! I made a roast dinner on Christmas and raspberry pie! I am due in 4 weeks but was able to pull it altogether without help.

    Hand it to me! We make puppy chow every Christmas (sometimes known as “muddy buddies”) to go with the 1/2 pounds of Starbucks coffee we hand out thanks to my handsome barista of a husband. :) What an awesome giveaway!

    HAND IT TO ME!! I didn’t physically make it with my hands, but my husband and I welcome our first beautiful baby girl a week ago, and technically we made her together! :). I must say, we are pretty talented!

    An easier question would be what haven’t I made lately? I just finished stenciled tees for my kids – Batman & Robin, Maveric tee, Weenie dog and lined paper tee.

    HAND IT TO ME!

    I made my sister a recipe book full of my favorites, as well as some family favorites. I included different suggestions for each recipe (do this, don’t do that, substitute this, be sure you do that) and some background on each recipe, also (Mom’s recipe we ate growing up, Great-grandma’s fudge recipe that used to be done by hand, etc.). It was fun to do, although it took me quite awhile to put together. It will be fun to build on through the years, also, as she is still in college and at the stage where she is wanting to live on more than ramen noodles and cereal!

    I have made a few things recently! I have made a snowman pillow, an apron, and am in the process if making some yarn wrapped letters for my bare walls!

    (hint hint: bare walls… totally could use this giveaway to fix that problem!! lol)

    Hand it to me! Please?

    I ruined everything I made for Christmas Day. But we survived and still had a good day. We just ate other people’s food.

    I just made the floating shelves that Ana White hacked for you. They aren’t perfect, but they were my first diy carpentry project. I love them!
