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.

    I made most of our Christmas decorations this year, using pinterest, anthro and pottery barn as inspiration. I used a TON of old books that we used in our wedding.

    along with the usual baking/knitting that Christmas brings, we are going to tackle the gallery wall in our hallway. These prints will be the frosting on the cookie!

    I made a set of coasters for my parents, a lemon tart for Christmas Eve dessert, and a piece of art for my bedroom using some seashells I brought back from a recent trip to Florida. I love being crafty and creative! It’s so rewarding!

    I made about 65% of my Christmas gifts this year, as well as baked some delicious goodies and made Christmas Eve dinner. It’s so much fun to know you put work/time into something for someone!

    My hands have made a big mess lately…or, I should say MANY big messes. :) They’ve also made sugar cookies, curtains, and ornaments, too.
