Contests and Giveaways

As most of my friends know I love giveaways and contests. This past weekend I won a pair of earrings. Last week I won soap and a couple of weeks ago I won a gift certificate to a fantastic jewelry shop on Etsy. As I receive the items I will do write ups on the lovely shops and share my fantastic items I receive.



I received this fabulous Sweet Shea Butter Soap in the mail this week. This natural & organic soap is from the etsy store Soapcre8ions, http://www.soapcr8ions.etsy.com/. I won this because I killed a thread on Esty Forums. I should have a complex, but I don't because this is fabulous bar of soap smells so good. I gave this to my friend today for a little something nice. She loved it!

Not only do they have homemade soaps, they also have spa salts, scrubs and balms.

So I have spent the past couple of days entering blog giveaways. This site does this quarterly, maybe next quarter I will participate. Wow, when I started on Monday there were 100 as of this evening there are 900 of them. So many good things to win and so many great blogs to read. Check out the contest by clicking on the bloggy giveaways button on my page.

I'm a winner!

I absolutely love scavenger hunts on etsy. Last Saturday morning BeadRee at http://beadree.etsy.com/ had a scavenger hunt in the Etsy forums.

To win I had to find both the red and blue ladybugs in her listings and be the first to convo her with the listings. She till has them listed can you find them? I had a ball looking though her lovely shop and so will you. I absolutely love the creativity she has with her pictures along with her pretty jewelry.

This is the beautiful set I won!

Playing with clay...

My son has been watching me make my clay creations ever since I can remember. He has been asking to make something out of my clay for a while now. Last night I sat down with him and let him have fun. I gave him his own tile to work on and asked him what he wanted to make. He told me he wanted to make a Piplup. For those people who don't know what that is, it's a Pokemon. My son has loved Pokemon for the past 2 years. He had a great time making his creation.

First he had to condition the clay....(of course while watching tv)

Putting finishing touches on him and making beads with the scraps....

Piplup is all finished. (The one he made is on the right...hehehehe)

I think he did great job for a 7 year old who has never worked with polymer clay before.
