What Happens When Tagging Meets Crafts Meets Blog Give-aways?

Monday, February 23, 2009 by Amy

Get ready, people. As alluded to in the title, I am really covering all the post-modern blogging bases in this post here.

So, we've established that I like projects. And, by way of update, we did end up getting those curtains on our next trip to Ikea because 1) Jon is really the best husband ever, and 2) I made up a ruse project. And it sounded even crazier than the curtains. While Jon was busy rightfully vetoing that crazy-a** project, I was sneaking the curtains into the giant yellow Ikea bag.

And it worked! (pictures soon to come)

So, on to the next project.

This one comes via my great friends Holly and Andy. They did this fun thing on their blogs. I wasn't in time to cash in on Andy's and, technically, I wasn't even actually in time to cash in on Holly's (but I thought I was and, turns out, that was enough-- welcome to my life). Here's how it works:


The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me.

Just for you.


This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1- I get to choose what I make for you.
2- There are no returns or exchanges.
3- Your creation will be just for you.
4- It'll be done this year.
5- You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a poem. It may be a mix-tape. It may be a small child. Remember: no returns.


The catch? You have to join the tagging-crafting-giveaway ranks by re-posting this on your own blog and offering the same deal to 5 of your own lucky blog readers.

So, the first 5 people to leave a comment telling me they are in win a homemade gift by me!

Note: No crushing people in your hurry to comment. This isn't Wal-Mart here.

Even though I made you make poor life decisions in 2008, can I be the first to comment? "I'm In!"

XOXO

i'd love to see what you create... seeing as how you're thoroughly crafty/creative without being kitschy and all. so count me in. :)

I am definitely in, although I am afraid it is a given that whatever I make for people will be edible. Love the idea, also love the fact that only 4 people read my blog, so that gets me out of 1 item that I would have to make! Loved the curtains, by the way.

I don't know if it's really legal for me to comment and claim something, but who cares! I'm the fifth commenter, right? Yay for me!

I've never been sadder to place 6th in my life.

Amy said...

Kathy, you're in. That's just how much I love you.

kathy w. said...

Yay! You just made my day.

I think you should make things for me all the time just because I'm me. Not because I am supposed to win stupid comment contests.
