***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”…Like the rest of my family, I handed out sarcastic comments to my evil only-in-my-family-by-marriage uncle. I could have also used my hands to slap some sense into him too but I didn’t want to run the holiday spirit. :)

I was so excited to have a real live, super cute, drooling and cooing niece for the first time this year, I made her a tactile ornament with wooden hearts and brightly colored felt that she could take apart and put back together again… and every piece had her initial, ‘K’ on it… she loved it and it made me so happy to create something for her! :-)
Love your blog- you guys are inspirational!

I threw gave away all of my Christmas ornaments from the last few years because they made me sad. I wanted a fun happy real tree. So I bought a live tree I could replant and then spent an entire day making and black and white ruffled linen tree skirt that made me smile! I have looked at it everyday with pride!
HAND IT TO ME!

Hand it to me!
Our apartment is really small…too small for a regular Christmas tree, so I bought some sticks (we live in the city and there are not too many sticks of the proper size laying about), hung them from the ceiling and decorated our “Christmas branch” with ornaments!
Michelle says
Hand it to me!
Every year I cherish the time spent with my mom and sister as we spend a whole day baking cookies. The cookies are then enjoyed by the many visitors that visit my parents over the holidays. It is a nice way to enjoy the family as we laugh and giggle around the table.
My mom and I also created Scrabble coasters. Originally they were to be gifted by my mom to someone else, but much to my surprise, they were gifted to me after I fell in love with them.
