G is for Giveaway
One of the best things about Facebook, Twitter, and blogs are all the giveaways. Who doesn't like free stuff? It's not just fun to win, but it's also fun to host giveaways. I loved giving away some novels by Crafty Chica last month. The winners were so excited!
Today I thought I'd share some of the current giveaways for books and beads that I found online. For most of them, you just need to leave a comment on the blog hosting the giveaway, but be sure to read the rules on the various pages. Some giveaways are only open to certain countries or may have other restrictions. Good luck!
