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.

My sister and I made my Mom’s traditional poppyseed bread for Christmas this year, since my Mom didn’t have time, and we totally ended up ruining it. It was still raw in the middle and totally fell apart. Fail. We laughed hysterically all night, so at least it was fun!

Carol C says
Hand it to me!
This was the first year where all of my handmade gifts were finished – there were no IOUs, no pictures of what was to come. The recipients were the women in the family, gifts were an assortment of knitted items (slippers and a scarf), as well as tissue holders for pocket tissues, made from some of my favorite batik fabrics. Everyone was happy, but I was probably happiest to give items that I made.
Amanda says

I handmade (hand-baked) gifts for several friends this year: chocolate-almond biscotti and Nutella truffles. Yum!
On Christmas, I made homemade biscuits for breakfast; the ham, the vegetable casserole, and Arnold Palmers for dinner; and Christmas cookies and Nutella gelato for dessert.
And now I’m enjoying a well-deserved day off, where we’re feasting on leftovers!

Karen says
HAND IT TO ME!
My family does a secret santa every year and the rule is you can’t buy anything retail. You can make something, re-gift something, buy something at a thrift store, write something, etc. This year I got my cousin who HATES when I wear my hair in a french braid. I decoupaged a box covered with pictures of my hair in a french braid and put red velvet cake cookies inside (because I’m mean, but I’m not that mean)!
Kelly says
hand it to me (please)!
I made potatoes with my grandmother… in the microwave.
