Big Birthday Giveaway… Week 3 {CLOSED}

21 February 2010 by Kara

February is my Birthday month, and in honor of my birthday I thought it might be fun if I give away a few gifts! We’ve already completed Week 1 and Week 2 of the Giveaway. This week, the Third and Final Round begins! I have added a new gift choice… Each of the three wrapped items above contains a different prize – the prizes will be revealed after a winner is selected!

THE GIVEAWAY:
You select one of the three gifts displayed above. Then, enter to win the gift enclosed by commenting on this post (see below for details). At the end of the week, I will randomly select a winner, and this winner will receive the gift of their choice. I will announce the winner and reveal their prize (in case the suspense is killing you) here on the blog.

Week 1 is complete! Lucky Beth has won a lovely pair of Hammered Silver and Coin Pearl earrings!

Week 2 is complete! Lucky Amy has won a $20 gift certificate to use in my Etsy shop!

Week 3 begins Sunday February 21st and end Sunday February 28th. The winner will be announced on Monday March 1st.

HERE’S HOW TO ENTER:
Please leave a comment below. Be sure to indicate which surprise gift you’d like to receive (1, 2 or 3). Please also tell us your favorite item from my Etsy shop AND also what you enjoy about or would like to see more of on this BLOG.

You may enter once per day and YOU MUST INCLUDE your first name and your email address or etsy user name with every entry. (If you are worried about email spam, you can spell out the ‘at’ and ‘dot’ rather than using the standard email format.)

Receive additional entries if you:
Twitter/Facebook/Blog about the giveaway (one entry for each – leave a link!)
Have a birthday in February (one entry)
Purchase an item from my shop (five entries)
*Please leave a separate comment for each additional entry and be sure to include your name and contact info on all!

You have until Sunday, February 28th at 10 pm (est) to enter for Week 3. Be sure to check back frequently for contest updates!

So sad because for a minute I thought I *was* Lucky Amy…but alas, I am not.

I love the Saturn earrings the best. I can’t think of what else I would want to see because everything is so beautiful.

I pick, uh, #1!!!!

I would like to win gift three. (it really wouldn’t matter to me but seeing that 3 is the only one left…lol)
My favorite item for your shop is the Lilac bloom bracelet. In the description you say that you have a matching necklace available…I’m sure that would be gorgeous too. I adore purple.

I just started reading your blog but I really like your features and spotlights. You find a lot of pretty things that I probbaly wouldn’t find on my own. The rest of your blog is great too.

My favorite color combo (lately :)) is aqua and green, so I choose number 2 package. Happy birthday and yes, you are killing us with suspense! In the shop, I liked the gentle breeze earrings. Love dangly and dainty earrings. For a suggestion, I’d make some necklaces showpieces…right now many of them are a bit too neutral…you need some showy pieces!

As a website/blog designer, I suggest you add visible links to your facebook/twitter pages, and if you don’t have them I would get them. Especially since you want people promoting your shop on these sites.
