Thanks to everyone who left comments for the designers on the first Stringing blog carnival. I hope you enjoyed it—I certainly did! I used random.org to pick three random winners from the 700+ comments on all the participating blogs and awarded the prizes in the order they were listed on the original post. (I've emailed the winners, but if you see your name on this page and didn't see the email from me, feel free to go ahead and contact me.)
Here are the giveaway winners:

Winner: Celeste Thurston
"Okay just when I was ready to Kumbaya! Thanks for the laugh. And agreed don't toss, but I do often swap, so I keep a to be swapped pile, just in case." [comment on Erin Strother's blog post] She won: A copy of the fall 2010 issue of Stringing from Interweave. Just under 60 inspiring jewelry designs for fall, tips on how to host a jewelry-making party for your friends, and Etsy selling tips from well-loved and talented designer, Lorelei Eurto. |
I'll be back to my regular blog on Friday, sharing photos of a very unusual beading project that I stumbled upon last weekend. If you worry that you'll never use up your huge bead stash in your lifetime, you'll want to check back for my Friday post.
Thanks again for making this first Stringing blog carnival such a huge success!
