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.

    HAND IT TO ME!

    I recently made a few ornaments for our Christmas tree, have been unpacking from our move and trying to find where to put all our pictures and art.

    “Hand it to me!!”

    Being due with baby #2 now any day, I haven’t been much in the mood for a whole lot of DIY. I did however quickly whip up a little flag banner out of some colorful wash cloths for my daughter’s room :)

    HAND IT TO ME! I actually made a ton of things myself. Chocolate fudge with crushed peppermint on top for a bunch of parties and my coworkers, plus a lot of custom photo prints and calendars (thanks, Photoshop!) for friends and family gifts. It was so great!

    Hand it to me! Please!

    Let’s see… I made a few felt ornaments, DIYed a pair of flats for a gift for my cousin- sprayed them shiny gold and hot glued peacock feathers on the toes, I also made her some “art” with sparkle letter stickers and a quote from “Nuthin’ but a G Thang,” and I’m getting ready to make a headboard. I’m enjoying my time off!!!

    I recently made homemade cinnamon rolls for all my pals for Christmas and helped my boys make Christmas tree ornaments.

    HAND IT TO ME!

    I made a lot of gifts this year! I gave away food (cookie dough/cookies, candied walnuts, and pear & apple sauces) & hair bows that I made! Very fun and affordable :)

    Hand it to me! I finally tackled my mom’s homemade gingerbread on my own, and it turned out great! I think she was even a little disappointed, because she perhaps (secretly) always wanted to be the best at it :) It was a fun time, though!

    For once, I made very little items by hand this holiday – just some chocolate chip cookies that the husband requested. It was a wonderfully pared-down Christmas this year! :-)

    HAND IT TO ME

    I made Christmas dinner this year…well, most of it. My parents cooked the turkey, and mother-in-law made mashed potatoes, but I cooked the ham and all the other sides.

    Hand it to me! Just today, I finally got around to doing something I pinned… I made a bunch of paper snowflakes for winter decorations using paper from junk mail.

    Wow, I am so excited that I won. I have been wanting to do a gallery wall in my house, now I can fill it with gorgeous prints. I cant wait to add another Christmas tree to our holiday decor next year to display the letter ornaments. It is perfect for a family with two small kids, an alphabet tree :) Happy New Year everyone. John and Sherry, I cant wait to see all your projects in 2012 and also start on my own.
