***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.

DIY?? Just moved in to a house built in 2000 and hasn’t been touch in 11 years. It had to have been the last house built before brass and oak were never used again. Painting, refinishing, installing, you name it. On top of moving in on December 1st, my 3 kids and I have been baking up a storm….it’s the way I was raised. Eat during the holidays like you may never eat again :) Seems as though we are both paining cabinets over this holiday season. I hope to be able to share my before and afters soon.

Hand it to me! I love handmade and made several things this year including salt scrubs and vanilla extract. I also started a tradition of making everyone in our family their own ornament for the tree every year. So far they’re embroidered and stuffed and hand-sewn, so let’s see if I can keep this up! Thanks for the opportunity!

Last Christmas we ripped the large plastic gift bag my stepmom uses for those hard to wrap large gifts. So, I bought a Christmas tablecloth (half price at Target after Christmas), added a pocket for a drawstring on top, folded it in half and sewed up the two sides. Now she has a sturdier, washable gift bag she can use every year!

This year I made an advent stocking calendar – I took 24 mini stockings from Michaels, hand stitched the numbers 1-24 on each one, and hung them from a red polka-dotted ribbon with mini clothespins. Each day had a tiny treat for each of my three boys in it. I made an identical one and sent it filled with treats to my nieces and nephew in another state. Next year, both of our families plan to fill the stockings and then swap them – the treats will be a surprise to everyone!
