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! I just completed a jewelry board organizer (stores your jewelry like artwork on the wall so you can easily see everything). I tend to forget to wear things when they are in the jewelry box.

HAND IT TO ME!
I didn’t DIY as much as I would have liked, but this year we had an unusually hectic schedule. I did make an assortment of homemade pretzels in different flavors, sugar cookies, that, if I do say so myself, turned out beautifully, and finished a hand-knitted scarf for a relative. I wish I had done more, but everything turned out great.
Megan C. says
Hand it to me! I made wrapping paper.

I made a cheesecake ball and an Asian chicken salad for my work party. I have tons of ideas for DIY projects, and when I learn how to use hubby’s new air compressor, maybe they will become reality!

I saw your video on how to make a bed skirt and I did that over the weekend for my baby girl. I LOVE your site. You have inspired me to be more frugal and green. I recently bought some Method cleaning supplies and I gave myself a home pedicure and cut my son’s hair. Once we see your painted cabinets (and get directions heehee) we want to attempt that too.

I made glass ornaments with my son’s hand print. As for baking I had it easy this year and only made cookies and cornbread. In the DIY department, my husband just finished whitewashing and putting poly on our wood floors but I just supervised because I am 8 months pregnant.

HAND IT TO ME. This year I baked up a storm for gifts for my neighbors (eggnog-frosted nutmeg sugar cookies, apple cider toffee, chocolate-covered caramelized matzoh crunch and cherry rum shortbread) and sewed two handmade gifts. One was a pencil roll for my nephew and one was a microwavable rice bag with a patchwork cover for my stepfather. It was fun, but I’ve got to be honest, I’m glad I’m done!

I made spinach and artichoke dip for our family’s get together and a fleece tie-blanket for my boyfriend’s niece and nephew to roll around the floor on. Their father ended up tying some pieces together to make sleeves and ended up with a pseudo half-Snuggie – pretty awesome fam time if you ask me!
