Yowza.

Lori is at it again.

Because organizing a whole blog hop with 400 people, participating in three reveals of said blog hop, and dealing with the issues that inevitably arise along the way is certainly not enough, she decided to hold a giveaway.

(Woman, has anyone given you pie and scotch yet ???)

And not just any old giveaway, either. FIVE separate giveaways !

That means 5 chances to win something, folks. Prize include B&B goodies, the upcoming bead soup book, Lori's blogging inspiration ebook (which is indeed very lovely !) a bead soup bag and a delicious bead soup, hand picked and carefully cooked by Lori herself !<

So head over there and give it a try ! The giveaway will end friday, july 13 (plenty of luck, right ? :P), so in about a week.

Tah Dah ! Spun Sugar Beadworks (not 100% sure who you are on FB, fail on me !), please message me on facebook or email me your address at maverickrain[at]gmail.com.

Thanks for entering, ladies ! That was really fun, and I had a whole lot more people than I thought I would get ! I am definitively doing this again eventually, so keep an eye out ! :>

GIVEAWAY !!!!

[/exit pre-scheduled mode]

Holy shit, ladies.

Holy shit.

Four. Hundred. (I believe the blog post still shows 397, but Lori confirmed we broke 400 on FB)

My assistant and I are both very proud of the record-setting numbers for this bead soup blog party, and feeling for poor Lori. If sugar pie could ship well, girl, I would send you a dozen of them.

What I can do, however, if keep you busy while we wait for our partners ! That's right. Welcome to my first giveaway !

And what am I giving away, you ask ?

I have a not-so-secret obsession with keys and bottles. I have collected knick-knacks in bottles on necklaces and bracelets for ages now. Then... Eventually... it did dawn to me that I could actually do my own now.

The world might never recover.

In this set there are 5 bottles. Each can either be wire-wrapped along the rim or hung from an eyehook. (I will send you an eyehook for each bottle in a separate baggie, so you can decide weither to use them or not)

Going from left to right :

- bottle with blue and green seed beads (The cork isn't glued on this one, so if you want to change it up, feel free)

- bottle with black iris/metallic seed beads (ditto) 

- bottle of orange and red seed beads set in resin + red and gold glitter (the effect on this one is very funky. The bottle almost seems to glow in the right light !)

- bottle painted with vintaj patinas (the cork is glued on this one... sorry ! Didn't think about it)
- bottle with a red and white feather set in resin + red and gold glitter. (Phoenix Down, anyone ?)

I am also sending you three blanks that I've stamped and etched with my big kick. Two darling little keys (earrings ? Hmmm~) and a bird. To top this off, there is also a full length of ribbon that I've dyed with copic markers. There is enough ribbon here to make a very long necklace, or a necklace AND a bracelet !

And there might also be other surprises, too. Because I like surprises.

So how does one enter to win this ? Well, you don't need to be participating in the bead soup blog hop. Love is free ! Simply leave a comment here, on this post, and let me know what kind of ideas you get from this set ! (this will have no bearing on who wins, since I am simply going to randomize a number from the comments... But I am curious ! I think that blue bottle would fit quite well with a little drink me tag... Too bad the alice blog hop has passed !)

The giveaway will be open until midnight on June 24. Why ? Because that's Lori's target date to have the participants sent out, and well, it's my birthday and i'll give things away if I want to. ;P I will roll the winner on the 25th after I come home from work.

I am also willing to send this more or less anywhere, so I don't care if you live in timbuctu - get enterin', ladies !
