Are you making your gifts this year? Or shopping handmade? Then you'll definitely want to visit the first annual Virtual Craft Show hosted by Lori Anderson (Pretty Things). There are 70 people participating, including me. Everyone is donating a prize and most are also hosting sales.
I donated a winter-themed beading kit to the Virtual Craft Show. This is a one-of-a-kind kit created with goodies from my personal stash. This kit contains pieces like a vintage Lucite blue hoop, a spiral headpin, Swarovski crystals, a pewter snowflake charm, recycled glass, pearls, a small tube of seed beads, silver-plated chain . . . and more! I even wrapped the whole kit with lace because I thought that would be a fun challenge to use lace in a jewelry project!
I love making bead mixes and occasionally make these one-of-a-kind kits available in my shop. I also offer a quarterly challenge where I make a small number of kits with identical beads. The Secret Snowflake Challenge is sold out; the next challenge will be announced in January 2012. Sign up for my free quarterly newsletter if you want to get the early scoop. (The bead kit I'm giving away is NOT the challenge kit! This is a one-of-a-kind kit for one person!)
To Enter:
- You must comment on Lori Anderson's Pretty Things blog, not mine. (Although, of course, I'd love to hear from you, too!) You'll get extra points for spreading the word via Twitter, Facebook, etc., so be sure to read Lori's blog about how to do that.
- Prizes will be awarded by Lori after December 3rd. I'll get mine shipped out as quickly as possible, in case you need these beads to make gifts! International folks are eligible to win this prize, too.
