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.

I was SO proud of myself, I recently made a ribbon mobile to hang above my baby’s changing table based off ideas I found on Pintrest. The best part is he loves to look at it and I have a new found sense of accomplishment for taking an idea cradle to grave! :)

Lyndsey says
Hand it to me! I made my sister’s Christmas present. We have a creative Christmas wrapping secret santa contest every year amongst the immediate family. It is fun to be creative and think outside the box. Most creative package wins, it isn’t about the gift (this gift is always in addition to our regular gift. In fact, there is a price limit on the gift but not the supplies for wrapping the gift) it is about how creative you can be. Let’s just say one year my sister’s gift floated and of course she won.

I made handprint ornaments with my 2.5-year-old. We did a set for us (one left and one right) and another set for Grammie and Grandpa. I got some pretty red matte glass bulb ornaments, painted kiddo’s hands with shimmery black craft paint, and had him gently grab each ornament. I wrote his name and 2011 on the back of each. They came out SUPER cute and Grammie just melted when she saw hers. :)
Courtney says
hand it to me! I made a collage with a lot of my college memorabilia and framed it!
Sarah R says
HAND IT TO ME!

For Christmas this year, I decided to DIY a Lego table for my 5 year old son. He is obsessed with all things Lego and I was getting tired of him using our coffee table as his lego construction zone. I didn’t want to spend the $100+ dollars on a premade table so I bought a $7.99 Ikea white lack table and 4 10×10 green lego bases and some epoxy and he now has a lego table that he loves!
Now if I could just get him to stop leaving pieces on the floor that I end up stepping on. Ouch!
Thanks for posting the giveaway:)

For my wife this Christmas I made her three sets of pearl earrings. I bought half-drilled freshwater pearls from a shop on Etsy, as well some sterling silver cup posts. I made a pair of white, Tahitian black and purple/violet earrings. I then used some scrap wood we had to make a little box to put them in. Two pieces of wood “sandwhiched” together. 6 small holes for the posts to go in on the bottom, and larger holes mirrored on the top. Hard to explain, but very cool. She LOVED them!
In process; me and one of our housemates (the husband in the couple that we live with) are in process of building a wooden pallet chicken coop so we can have our own chickens for eggs.
Esme Lawrence says
