The 100,000 views prize giveaway for this ‘ere blog ends at midnight GMT tonight, with the winners announced tomorrow – this is your last opportunity to enter and have a chance of winning a unique piece of artwork. For prizes and how to enter, check my original posting here.
Hi all – this blog has just ticked over it’s 100,000 views in just 14 months of going live. And I think the person putting the time in today was Alice checking out my tangle patterns – thanks for all your comments, Alice!
As promised, I have a giveaway in honour of this momentous occasion. The lovely Tania at WOW! Embossing Powder has kindly provided a set of six powders in a handy carry case: Green Glitz, Princess Pink, Red Glitz, Metallic Gold Sparkle, Blue Glitz and Indigo Super Fine. As a second prize, I’ve also decided to give away a signed, limited edition copy of my drypoint print.
All you need to do to have a chance of winning is to leave a comment anywhere on my blog between now and midnight GMT on 22nd May. Only one entry to the draw per person, though feel free to comment as much as you like! The two winners will be announced at some point on 23rd May. Good luck, and thank you for your continuing support 🙂
If you remember, I had a giveaway at the beginning of March in honour of this ‘ere blog’s first birthday. The first prize was for the person giving the most comments and is featured here. The second giveaway was to the longest active subscriber to the blog at the 12 month point – and that was/is Shirley at 11 months and three weeks. I asked her what she would like as her commissioned artwork and this was her reply: “I have been looking through your blog and saw the ‘largest ZIA to date‘. I used to do a lot of counted cross stitch (until my eyes rebelled). Samplers was one of my favourite things. Would I be asking too much to have that as my prize?”.
Of course I couldn’t give that particular example away again as it was a unique piece for that particular giveaway. So I’ve created this one instead, including some of my new Faberge patterns and using my first attempt at a Celtic Knot. It’s a biggie again, being A3 sized, and took almost 6 hours to complete. Well done Shirley, I hope you like it!
Hello! Today is the last day of the first year of my blog 🙂
And in my normal fashion, I’m celebrating this milestone with a giveaway! More on that in a moment, but first some first year stats:
Phew! What a year! I’d like to thank you all for your support, comments and enquiries – they really do make a difference to my enthusiasm levels!
And now to the giveaway. In fact, two giveaways!
Both giveaways will be a commissioned piece of artwork (that’s postable) of the recipient’s choosing – it might be a bespoke card, a zentangle, a drawing – that’s for the recipient to choose with me. It’ll be your own special personal bit of blog 🙂
The first giveaway is to the person that has given the most feedback through the comments over the year – and by far the leader is…. Judy Gudeman! Judy, please look in your email inbox! I’d like to give an honourable mention to Dianne T and Lizzie Mayne as runners up.
And the second is to my longest standing, active, email or WordPress follower. All you have to do to win the giveaway is to comment on this blog – whoever has been subscribing for the longest and responds the quickest will win 🙂
As for my new followers, keep following! It won’t be long before I am celebrating my 100,000th view and I’m hoping to get some great prizes to giveaway.
Best wishes to you all and roll on the next 12 months!
Hi all – I’ve had no reply from the first drawn winner this week, so in I’ve decided to redraw for the giveaway in the hope of finding an active follower to win. So, random draw number two had the result:
The 35th commentor was ‘auslorri’ – well done! I’ve sent you an email, so check your inbox/spam folder – if you don’t reply within 7 days, you too will lose out on the prize!
Hello all! If you entered my prize draw, you were one of just over 50 people to do so – what an incredible response, and thank you for all your comments.
The winner of the mug and fancy saucer set is the author of comment number:
Congratulations, Sandy, you’ve won! Look out for an email in your inbox with details on how to claim your prize 🙂
[And you’re still in with a chance… if Sandy doesn’t claim the prize within a week, I’ll redraw]Just a little reminder to those that haven’t entered yet, I’m giving away this mug and fancy saucer set hand-decorated with my own tangle designs. Entry is by commenting anywhere on my blog between now and midnight GMT on my birthday, Friday 10th February. I’ll draw the winner on Saturday 11th February and announce it here on my blog. Good luck! [If you’ve already entered, you’re welcome to make more comments, but you’ll only be entered into the draw once.]
Well I’ve finally done it, and created my third unique giveaway. This one is in honour of 50,000 blog views, and I’ve just passed 55,000! It is a one of a kind, never to be reproduced, ceramic mug and fancy saucer with my own tangle patterns hand drawn onto it. It is dishwasher safe, and the mug is a perfect size for a double espresso (but not a decent mug of tea!). I’ve signed and dated both pieces – you never know, they might be worth something in a few years time 😉
All you have to do to have a chance to win this unique giveaway is to leave a comment anywhere on my blog between now and midnight on Friday 10th February. I’ll draw the winner on Saturday 11th February. Best of luck 🙂
Please note: I don’t like spam, and I wouldn’t want any of you to be getting loads of emails you don’t want. So, please, don’t put your email address into the main text of your comment where everyone will be able to see it! (Unless that’s what you want…) If you have signed in properly, I can see your email address in the private admin area of the blog. If you’ve already added your email to a comment, you’ll note I have edited them away.
Hello, dear readers,
I’ve noticed my views ticking up, and realised that it’s time to start preparing something formy 50,000th view giveaway… and I got to thinking – what would you like to win?
Since I don’t have a corporate sponsor (yet), and am a student, budget is a consideration, but I’d love to hear your wish lists!
Suggestions on a comment form please 🙂
… is Linda Sims! Linda had so many problems getting her tiles to me – it was worth the effort. Linda was selected at random from the eight entries that I’d received, and once I get her details, my ZIA will be winging it’s way to her.
The next unique giveaway will be at 50,000 blog hits. Keep coming back to see what’s new, and what you could win.
