Awesome Bead Give Away

So I saw this give away posted on Plurk and just had to pass it on. Oh my what a huge amount of beads she is giving away. I really want to win this but I am going to go ahead and post it anyway so everyone has a fair chance lol! If you enter and win please let me know! Go HERE to enter.

BEADS BEADS AND MORE BEADS!!!

Yes Another Give Away!

So I am on a roll this month. Can't help it I keep finding all these great products to try lol! And no I don't get any free samples or anything its just fun to do. I know I love entering give aways so I enjoy doing them and I like to help other people too. Works out well all the way around.

So anyhow here it is what is up for this week: VOTRE VU

AU REVOIR! Trouble Spot Treatment
Say goodbye to bumps and blotches pronto! Relief is here and ready to spot you. Use on troublesome pimples, whiteheads and bumps. The disinfecting, healing and anti-inflammatory properties of salicylic acid combine to restore the skin's surface and help normalize the production of sebum, controlling the formation of blemishes. Camphor provides unmatched properties to purify and disinfect the skin, while the anti-bacterial ingredients tighten pores, allowing your skin's surface to gradually take on a completely new appearance - uniform, clean and matte. Apply wherever needed. Say AU REVOIR to Spots and Bonjour to Smooth Skin! This is a retail value of $19 plus $5 shipping and handling so this is a $24 value shipped straight to your door for free.

This comes straight from Paris France (which is pretty cool in and off itself). Have you seen the women in France? They usually have quite beautiful skin, I wonder if this line of products is one of the reasons. So in order to win this FREE full size bottle please go to Arlene's website
Arlene Lizarraga - Votre Vu

Take a good look around and then tell me which product you like the best or that you think would be something that you could use. Also please leave an email address so that I can contact you if you win. The winner will be chosen via random.org.

Personally I am seriously considering the PORTRAIT COLLAR Restorative Neck Crème since I have lost 40 lbs and the wrinkles are starting to show on my previously plump neck lol! And the LES SORBET Advanced Care Iced Sérum for Face sounds like a fabulous way to wake up my tired eyes in the morning. I have a feeling that these products are worth every penny and I am determined to look as young as possible for as long as possible. And besides, we all need to pamper ourselves once in a while. Go ahead, you deserve it!

Congratulations!

Congratulation to the winner of my ring! I picked the winner through random.org and have sent an email to notify them. I am going to do a couple more give aways, and will have a new one ready to go tomorrow. As a teaser the next give away, starting tomorrow, will be a great skin care product that comes from France. And this is not a sample size this is a full size product.

Spring Give Away!

So spring is right around the corner and Ohio got a little taste of it over the weekend (including heavy downpours lol). It was such a nice change from icy winds, lots of snow and gloomy gray skies. In fact it put me in such a good mood I decided to do a give away of my own. I will be giving away my Vintage Glass Sky Blue Cat's Eye Sterling Silver Ring. I will make this in your size if you win. (sizes 4 to 15 available and it will take a week or two for me to mail since it will be custom sized for you).

The rules are simple. Go to either my 1000Markets shop or my Artfire shop and choose the item that you like the best and then leave your pick in the comments along with a way to reach you if you win. Also please leave your ring size in the comments. The winner will be chosen by random.org on Sunday March 15th 2009.

"Lovely vintage blue cats eye glass cabochon set in a fine silver bezel with a sterling silver hammered band. This ring is oxidized to give it a lovely aged finish."

Have fun and good luck! If you decide to make a purchase during this give away simply put Spring Blog Giveaway in the notes to seller and I will refund 10% of the price.

Give Away Over

Thanks so much to all of you who participated in this give away. I have sent an email to the winner. Winners are always picked via random.org. I will be doing one or two more give aways in the following weeks so check beck occasionally to see if anything is up for grabs. (hint: the next give away is for jewelry, although its not my jewelry, I think you'll love it).

Free 8x10 Print Give Away from Infinite Vision!

Well this seems to by my month for give aways lol! The last one went really well and I hope that some of you found some hand made soap to try.

This week we are giving away an 8x10 print from Infinite Vision. You pick any print in his shop that you like, even the larger prints and if you are chosen you will receive that print as an 8x10. He has some beautiful work and this is a chance to get your hand on a piece of it lol!

This is really cool. (for me anyway lol). Susan, who does Friday Findings over at Posh Mama, used my textured copper earrings in last Friday's article. I also did the give away for that week. That was pretty exciting in and of itself but when I checked out my updates from Posh Mama, Susan's article has been published in Reuters. Woohoo! I am just so excited. I have been working my you know what off trying to promote everywhere I can think off. More exposure is always good lol! So anyhow here is the article she wrote. Check out the other cool copper items she also featured. The earrings for the give away are at the bottom. Sorry but the winner has already been chosen.
Thanks Susan!

Copper is one of the few naturally occurring metals, which means its often found in minerals. In addition to its wonderfully rich, reddish color, the malleability of Copper makes it a favorite material of jewelry designers. I've found some really cool examples of copper jewelry over the last few weeks, am I'm excited to be showcasing these fabulous finds with you today on this week's edition of Friday Findings. Copper Sand Ring from Adobe Sol Designs

For an earthy twist, we'll start today's showcase with a piece from one of my personal favorite rockstars of wire wrap…check out this amazing oxidized copper ring made with 16 gauge copper wire and topped off with a totally gorgeous 9mm lampwork barrel bead by Tiffany McCoy. Created by Adobe Sol Designs in Corrales, NM. Dogwood Pendant from Silent Goddess

Every bit as fresh as the blooms on its namesake plant is this beautiful hand fabricated copper blossom pendant.
