Thanks to random.org, we’ve got a Merry (belated) Christmas prize going out to… Kristin Aune (who made t-shirts for both of her kids, ornaments, buckeyes and has been trying to perfect her fudge pie recipe). Congrats!
Wahoo. Hope you guys all had an awesome holiday weekend (you can see a sliver of ours here). As we mentioned on Friday, we’ll be stopping in with one quick post each day this week (amongst family hosting, feverish book-deadline writing, and priming & painting all of our kitchen cabinets). But we couldn’t wait to share today’s giveaway that we wrangled after seeing so much amazing stuff at our local Handmade Holiday craft fair. So this week’s lucky winner will get:
- An 8×10 letterpress print (any choice of quote & color), a set of blueprint notes (airplane, boat, golfcart, knots, wave, or lighthouse) and a leather blank book from Almanac Industries. These Baltimore-based bookbinders and letterpress gurus bring a wonderful worn and masculine vibe to these printed prizes.
- $50 towards Funnel Cloud Studio on Etsy. Obviously we love her Virginia-themed art, but she also has a bunch of cheerful patterned prints and cheeky illustrations to choose from too.
- A 26-letter ornament set and this green vase from Turnerbots. And we thought our J, S, C and B initial ornaments were cool. Someone’s about to get a whole alphabet full of candy colored ceramics, along with a V-A-S-E.
- $50 towards Zou Zou’s Basement on Etsy. We loved the bunny print that we bought, and this $50 is enough to snag two of her colorful prints.
- PRIZE: Everything mentioned above
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “HAND IT TO ME” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … what you’ve made with your own hands recently. Did you bake something for the holidays? Did you give a handmade gift this weekend? Or have you tackled a DIY or homemade art project recently?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, December 28th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
- DISCOUNT: 10% off any item in Turnerbots’ Etsy shop until January 15th, 2012 with the coupon code YOUNGHOUSE.
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…
Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Funnel Cloud Studio, Turnerbots, Almanac Industries and Zou Zou’s Basement.

Hand it to me!
This Christmas I really tried to make hand made things for my niece and nephews. After becoming obsessed with Pinterest I made 2 dinosaur tails, 3 portable racecar tracks from towels, and three pillow pallets. In addition to two sand ornaments for our tree, and two handmade signs. The handmade gifts were absolute hits and I can’t wait to start looking for birthday things!
Merry Christmas!!
Emily says
HAND IT TO ME!
I am pretty spatially idiotic, so I try to avoid most DIY things and the disappointment they inevitably bring when I am the one doing them. But even with that, I allowed myself to be convinced to join my husband in refinishing and reupholstering our dining room set. And it worked! Four months later, I am REALLY happy with the result.

Carisa says
HAND IT TO ME!
This year for Christmas my goal was to make a handmade gift for everyone on my list, but I ran out of time. I did manage to make homemade dog biscuits! I also tackeled some string art, which turned out great! I also sewed some boot socks for my sister. Next year I will just have to start earlier :)

Suzanne says
Hand it to me!
So much baking and cooking, including a new fav: chocolate almond macaroons. Totally worth the effort. But it feels pretty great on the day after the holiday to recycle my Christmas to do list and relax with a cup of coffee!
Christine says
Hand it to me!!! I made lots of gingerbread men to give out yesterday, orange infused vinegar and I’m planning on stripping some wall paper while I’m off from work this week!

Hand it to me!
I made what seemed like a million cookies. It was really only four dozen
effika says
HAND IT TO ME
Christmas dinner at my house!
I have to agree with the Amanda above me about pie crust. I have a recipe for pumpkin pie from my great-great-great grandmother, and it specifically said to get pie crust from one of her neighbors. I feel it is only appropriate that I don’t make the pie crusts, either!
kathleen says
