***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.
- 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 year, the same as the past few years now that i’m an adult and have inlaws and sister in laws and nieces and nephews i wrap everyone’s present with an ornament on it and go to great lengths with the wrapping itself making that a gift too! my MIL never got back to me on what i could bring to dinner so i brought a cheeseless olive tapenade, almond/tomato dip, dark chocolate bark with pretzels and toffee and peppermint bark….everyone said they liked it but, i took most of it home with me so i don’t think they did, another recipe another time.

My 2 daughters (4 and 7) and I made homemade ornaments – similar to yours a year or so back with the glass ball ornaments. We made some’snow’ filled ones with tiny ornaments hanging inside, put blue or white or blue/white feathers in some and also made puffy paint snowflakes as ornaments – then gave all but 2 away as gifts to family, friends and teachers!

I made reinbeer! (thanks pinterest!) Hot glued googly eyes, a red nose and tied pipe cleaner antlers on a 6-pack of “Snow Day” beer. My husband loved it!
Dan says
Hand it to me! I attempted to make marbleized glass ornaments after watching a segment on The Chew! It wasn’t as easy as they had made it out to be. I must have used the wrong paint since nothing mixed so I just rinsed out the glass ornaments and I’m back again at square one waiting for them to dry!
Mylene says

I made last name signs for my Dad, my boyfriend’s sister and his Nana. I had a 2×8 cut into three separate sections, painted them each a different color. Then I bought dollar store frames, painted them all, printed out letter pictures and then assembled it all together. They were a big hit!
Jess says

Elisabeth says
Hand it to me!
My husband and I recently made some cookies in a jar… well the cookie recipe’s dry ingredient’s in a jar but we’ll call it cookies in a jar for short. Who doesn’t enjoy couple dozen cookies at Christmas time. They make great gifts! We also made a e-card a la Christmas because we were procrastinators this Christmas as far as having a Christmas themed photo shoot. It’s like pulling teeth to get my husband and baby dressed to impress. I think I’ll have a better shot if we do our Christmas photo shoot in PJs. Up next is turning kitchen cabinet doors from Habitat for Humanity Restore Store into FRAMES. This might turn out horribly, but God willing it will be GLORIOUS!
Joy says
Hand it to me!
I knit my first pair of felted slippers for a friend.

HAND IT TO ME. I made two yummy meals a la the slowcooker, and both turned out delicious! The best part is I can prep for it the night before and come home after work and have dinner ready.
