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.

  Handmade Giveaway 2

  • 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)

    Hand it to me :) I paint and draw and most recently did two pictures for my bedroom wall and made a family hand print owl picture. Didn’t have any time to paint ornaments for my family this year unfortunately.

    I made several family recipes with my Mom, aunt, and sister on “baking day” the 23rd! It’s an annual tradition.

    My most recent handmade item was a tree-topper inspired by Mrs. Brooklyn Limestone! I made an ‘R’ for a friend – paper mached and covered in tinsel glitter. Turned out beautiful! Now I need to make one for us! :)

    Thank you for the opportunity!

    HAND IT TO ME! Inspired by you guys, I have undertaken a sofa table painting project. It’s only in the primer stage this far, but by New Year’s I hope to have it painted and stenciled!

    Hand it to me! Please. I just love paper!

    I scored an “oh brother” sewing machine for Christmas and have made two headbands and shortened a dress I’ve been wanting to shorten since I purchased it two years ago.

    I am so excited about this question! I made lip balm this year to give with gifts and people LOVED them! I couldn’t believe it, my first batch and they were a huge success! I’ve never been able to make anything before! (no more exclamation points now, I swear)

    HAND IT TO ME! My husband and I made homemade peanut brittle for gifts for coworkers this year. It only takes 10 minutes in the microwave and tasted incredibly good!

    I made candied nuts (in the microwave, believe it or not), and packaged them as gifts in mason jars, each of which was decorated a little bit differently with ribbon and scrapbooking paper I had lying around.

    For Christmas gifts, I knitted leg-warmers in a lacey pattern for my college-aged daughter and fingerless gloves for a good friend. I also made tons of cookies and layered peppermint bark!

    Hand it to me! I made an adorable mail bag with fabric postcards for my daughter for Christmas (Clara would probably like it, too! pattern for sale on Etsy at MissPrettyPretty’s shop). I also made a quilt for my mother for Christmas.

    I recently made ornaments for a friend of mine. Her and her husband had been struggling to get pregnant and are finally pregnant…with twins! I cut up the baby shower invite into strips and curled them, then placed them into 2 separate ornaments (one for each baby).

    HAND IT TO ME! My daughter and I made brownies as Christmas gifts for our neighbors. And we are *still* working on our laundry room re-do. But that’s a must finish by the end of the year!

    The last thing I’ve made was some dishes to take to my family Christmas. I made Not Yo Momma’s Banana Pudding and my Poppa’s mexican hamburgers. He is no longer with us, so it was so nice to hear people compliment the burgers and me be able to say, I used Poppa’s recipe.

    Hand it to me! I made homemade bread and some cool sets of magnets that I personalized to people’s interests. So simple, affordable and everyone really seemed to love them.

    Too much to do and not enough time.. The only thing homemade I was able to make for Christmas was some yummy eggnog cupcakes.

    Thanks for the chance! :)
