Fab Freebie: Gotta Hand It To You

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

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.

    I made fudge and pink elephant sugar cookies for the whole family for Christmas. Pink elephants are a tradition in my family and I have a deep love of that print from Zou Zou’s!

    Hand it to me! I handmade sooo many things this year! The coolest were the gift baskets with orange spice mixed nuts, dried apple chips, and a painted santa ornament made from a milk weed pod!

    I made my own Christmas tree mobile loosely following notmartha’s tutorial. I also decorated a coffee mug for my sister as a gift.

    I’ve been doing a lot of sewing but my favorite project has been spray painting an aluminum trash can and crafting a fabric-covered elastic band to hold the bag in place without showing its black ugliness. (Tried to find my way back to the link but failed, or else I’d copy it here…)

    I made a bead bracelet for my partner for her stocking — using techniques from a beading class we attended together a few years ago.

    I made flower and ribbon hair clips and headbands for my little girl and my soon-to-arrive niece. Way easier, cheaper and more fun than I had expected! Kind of cool to give something handmade to the kids.

    I made many of our Christmas decorations this year, which was super fun. I also received a Cricut machine from Santa – much more hands-on crafting to be done!

    HAND IT TO ME….
    because I carved an awesome stamp this week. It resembles a gift bow and it allowed us to not have to buy bows this year and just stamp the “bow” onto the gift bags. Score one for saving $$ and for being really cool.

    This Christmas I made cupcakes and decorated them using my fun fab frosting gun. With over 7 spouts to choose from, the designs got a little crazy and I have frosting all over the kitchen. I even got out the spray food coloring to make ‘frosted’ blue snow cup cakes. In the end, they turned out pretty good and they were gobbled up in no time at the Christmas party.
