Lucky Me, I Won!

As I was clicking around the blogosphere the other day the cute little fish button with the "win me!" star next to it caught my eye. I stopped and read a bit, and now I have a fun new (to me) blog to enjoy! I entered the fish button giveaway, and today I found out I won! Another Lucky Day to mark on my calendar!

Toxiferous Designs creates the cutest t-shirts, buttons, bags, and other gifts. Have a peak at the TD Blog, then check out the TD Shop. I love the Darkbirds items, especially this shirt.

Lucky Girl's Happy Birthday Giveaway Winner

Thanks to everyone who entered and was rooting for me in MTMD's Page Rank Olympics. I did not come in last!!!! I did do dreadfully though, so I think that's probably the last contest of that sort I'll attempt for a long while. Or ever.

Figuring out which comments were entries for my birthday giveaway and which were just comments was a bit tricky, and then I discovered that a couple of people commented and entered on my reminder post instead of the original contest post, so that made it even more complicated. I want to be fair and still give entrants the benefit of the doubt if possible, so if you commented on either post and I could find a link to this blog on your blog, I counted you as entered. Here's my list of entrants:

1. Mizé
2. Margaret
3. Designing Hilary
4. Mama Kelly
5. Nessa
6. kristleharrison
7. silverhartgirl
8. iris
9. kat sanders
10. leslie
11. lala
12. Jean Chia aka Ms.Yummy~licious

Congratulations to #6, Kristle at Stir-Crazy!

I am in a holiday sort of gift-giving mood even though it's not even September yet. Check back tomorrow to what fantastic deal I'll be offering next!

Home Sweet Home

After spending what seemed like an eternity on the road, I'm finally home. It was hard to leave that darling grandbaby again!

I'm spending what little is left of my birthday napping (I think the birthdays are starting to catch up with me!), and tomorrow it's back to business as usual. If you haven't entered my Birthday Giveaway yet, there's still a couple of hours left (the link is just below this post), I'm excited about selecting a winner tomorrow!

Social Media Marketing MEGA Contest

I promised I'd show you another prize from my studio, and here it is! This fused glass pendant has three different kinds of dichroic glass on a base of black art glass. I've covered it with a thin layer of clear glass so that it has a bit more depth to it, and a smooth top surface. Entering to win this pendant is not only easy, but interesting, too!

The Social Arrow is hosting a Social Media Marketing MEGA Contest. Just blog about your favorite social network and what kind of a response you get from it. Check out the official rules at Social Arrow through the link at the beginning of this paragraph. Other prizes are thousands of Entrecard credits, a banner design, and permanent links. Entries must be received by August 31, so you've got a bit of time to work this into your blog calendar.

Blogging for Blood Cancer Giveaway

If you're a regular reader, you may remember that I promised to give away a fused glass pendant as part of the Blogging for Blood Cancer event this week. This is it--and it's more beautiful in person than I can capture in a photo. I didn't cover the top of this piece with clear glass so that it has a bit of texture to it. For your chance to win this one-of-a-kind piece of art or one of about a gazillion other cool prizes, check out the details at Friends of Heroes and Goodies for Mom.

We Have a Winner!

Comment #18 is from Mama Kelly of 2 Witches Blog. Congratulations! Go on over to Fehu Stoneware and pick out your button, then use the "contact" link on Etsy to send Pearl a message.

I had a lot of fun doing this giveaway, and the best news is that a couple of other crafter/artists have volunteered to let me give away some of their stuff too! As soon as I get the details sorted out I'll post a new giveaway with another fabulous prize, so don't forget to check back here soon.

And the Winner Is . . .

. . . Leslie, of Leslie's Life blog! If you haven't seen her blog yet go have a look--she has photos of the sweetest little toddler, links to several giveaways, and some very cool product tips for moms. Congratulations Leslie!

I really enjoyed seeing what everyone chose as their favorite piece in my shop so I plan to have another giveaway sometime soon. There are buttons at the top right of my blog to make subscribing easy for you--subscribe today and don't miss out on my next giveaway.

Lucky Girl's Mother's Day Giveaway!

In honor of Mother's Day I'll be giving away this beautiful fused dichroic glass pendant to one lucky reader! It's approximately 5/8" wide and 7/8" long, plus a bit for the bail. The dichroic glass is a deep glowing red and orange at the bottom, and lightens to gold and yellow at the top--but if you look at it from different angles you can see bits of blue and green. There are bits of black glass fused into the glass above the dichroic layer that almost look as though they're floating on top of the pendant.

How do you win? Take a look around my Etsy shop, pick out your favorite item, and post a link to it in the comments on this entry by April 28, 2008. Make sure you also include a link to your blog or email address so that I can contact you if you win! On April 29, 2008, we'll print the comments, cut them apart, and have a good old-fashioned drawing for the winner.

Good luck--and I'm excited to see which items you pick as your favorites!

And the Winner is . . .

Robin of My Melange! Check out her blog for a fabulous spaghetti carbonara recipe and mini-lessons in Italian. I packed Robin's dichroic pendant today and will take it to the post office tomorrow. I hope you all had a wonderful time at the Ultimate Blog Party 2008! I blog-hopped until my eyes went bleary, and I'm looking forward to doing it again next year. I'm already starting to plan what prize to offer!

The Ultimate Blog Party 2008 Prize from Lucky Girl!

This fused glass pendant is the prize from Lucky Girl for the Ultimate Blog Party 2008. I made it with a beautiful coppery orange dichroic glass with bits of white. It's been wrapped in niobium that I anodized to a pretty medium green color. If you haven't already, head on over to 5 Minutes for Mom--our awesome party hostess--to get the details for the prize giveaways and check out the party prize list.

To celebrate this blog party, I'm also offering free shipping on orders from either my Etsy shop, and I also have an eBay store all week long! Put "Blog Party" in the notes to seller if you shop on Etsy, or use the Ask Seller a Question feature if you shop on eBay. I'll send you a no-shipping invoice before you check out, or if you're in a hurry, I'll refund your shipping charge.

Party on!
