5th Giveaway- Trick and Treat, 12 winners

My next giveaway is a fun one and I am very excited about it. Jacquard Products http://www.jacquardproducts.com/ the importer for Cernit Polymer clay in North America has given me 12 sets of Cernit to giveaway. There are 10 colors and a 1 ounce package of each color to play with.
You can read about Cernit here and in this blog and see all of the colors http://www.jacquardproducts.com/products/cernit/
Jacquard Products also carries an incredible amount of other products that you can see on their site.
The Clay Factory, my husband Howard's on line store carries all of Jacquard's products even if they are not posted on Howard's site yet. He can get them for you, just ask. We are working on getting them all up on the Clay Factory site. http://www.clayfactory.net/

Yep, you heard that right, 12 of them!
12 winners!!!
I think this deserves some tricks, LOL!! and we are approaching the trick or treat season, so this is soooooooo perfect. You do a trick and you may get a treat.

2. If you are a winner, when you make something with this Cernit, show me your stuff. I would like blog quality pictures of what you make. Everyone starts at the beginning and I want to see what you do. No judgment just cheering. I will even help you if you have questions.

I will choose the 12 winners when I get back from Sandy Camp on the 6th or 7th of October.

Ces won the 4th giveaway!

Hope you all had a great Labor Day. I don't get it. Why do they call it labor day when no one is moving at all? They are not having babies and everyone is lying around and eating. Grown-ups really confuse me sometimes.

Grandma says it is to honor working people. Geesh it is about time they give them a day off.

Anyway back to why I am here at all.

CES WON!!!

Ces is the winner of the 4th Giveaway

This one is a fun one, it is for a out of print instruction sheet.

Very cool, written in 1994 by Joan Pompa for Friendly clay. That is 15 years ago, a collectors item, LOL!!!

The instruction sheet may be out of print but the designs are timeless and beautiful. The clay used in this tri-fold may not be available anymore, but other polymer clays and air dry clays will work just as well for this. It also shows how to make beautiful roses and leaves, Calla lilies, dogwoods, pansies and cut out flowers.

What is in the giveaway package?

Buds and Blossoms Jewelry 15 projects just shape, bake and paint.

1 bag of assorted metal ephemera

6 brooch findings

10 oval shell pieces

30+ small rhinestones

50+ small and medium no hole pearls

3 butterfly charms I made

1 "frazzled" word mold I made

*Bag of small stamps* just added

Oops forgot!!! This is my 100th post this year, wooooooooooooowhoooooooooo!
This giveaway will close on September 6th at 6 pm pdt.

3rd Giveaway- the Renee Bracelet- Life and Death

Life and Death- This 3rd giveaway is influenced by a dear blog friend, Renee. Renee has Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC), she is the same age as I am, and you can share her story on her web page here, http://circlingmyhead.blogspot.com/ . She talks about her real life and experiences dealing with this disease. I have learned a lot from this woman and consider her a sister-friend through the connection of the blogs and I love her.

This is a copper wire bracelet with Cernit polymer clay beads and each bead is made by me and the wire wrapping I did myself. It is wrapped and made with prayers, love, and good intentions for Renee, it has big JUJU kids.

There is also a condition to this giveaway and I trust you, on your honor for all that is good, that you will follow these rules before you comment on this post. Yep, this is the one; I am going to make you do tricks.

1. You will have to take the time to go and visit Renee's blog http://circlingmyhead.blogspot.com/ and read at least two of the entries. If so inclined proceed to show her the love.

2. You will have to offer up a prayer, a good intention, a loving or healing thought for Renee and her family.

That is all I ask, for together we are stronger and can heal and start to change this crazy world we have had a part in making. I believe in this and I want you to believe in you and your power to change things. There is nothing I can do to change Renee's situation but this and I do believe with your energy, we can help me do something. I do believe in magic, I do, I do!

Thank you.
Blog about this and post the link here and I will give you another entry.

Madi says...

I just wanted to tell you all that my grandma is trying to get the next giveaway posted but she and I have been so hot, neither one of us want to do anything but sleep and eat. Stay cool out there.

Madi has an announcement to make...

I love my frog and he has the best eye.

OH and my grandma also wanted me to tell you, her and papa picked the winner for the Bella necklace grandma made.

Grandma and papa are giving away stuff for a year because they are so grateful to be alive and have a business they love. You can read about that here.

http://mariesegal.blogspot.com/2009/05/1st-giveaway-thank-you-thank-you-thank.html

First grandma wrote all of the names one at a time on the piece of paper.
Grandma usually does this with a random number generator, but she decided it would be more fun if her and papa did this together.
Then she checked them to make sure the numbers and the names matched.

She cut them all up with the big scissors that I can not play with.

Mixed them up again to be sure. There were 38 of you this time and she read to me what some of you said, so nice of you all. My grandma just loves that part.

Some times she gets a kleenex, but don't tell her I was watching her that close. She thinks I am just a baby, I don't want to spoil her fun.

She folded them up real small and

put them in one of papa's coffee cups.

She took the cup to papa and he couldn't get his hand in there, it is really big, so he had to take his little finger and fold it up so he could reach them and then he swished them around in there again.

Silly grandma didn't tell him she had already done that lots.

He picked out one and gave it to grandma and it was...

#13 ARTGALCRAFTS

Grandma was excited. She said this Bella necklace was going all the way to Australia.

She said that her friend Bella's words and paintings travel all over the world in peoples hearts and minds, so it is only right that the necklace should go faraway too!!!

Grandma says that you all should go look at Bella's art work because she makes cute little girls like me all of the time.

Some of the girls are bigger than me though.

Her blog is here http://bellasinclair.blogspot.com/

ArtGal you need to get in touch with my grandma so she can send the Bella necklace to you. Grandma's email is on her profile page.

Oh and congratulations!

Happy and safe Holidays to all my American readers and have a GREAT weekend to everyone else!

my grandma says...

Oh my!! My grandma says there are only a few more days on her necklace giveaway.

http://mariesegal.blogspot.com/2009/06/2nd-giveaway.html

You might just want to get your name in there before it ends.

2nd Giveaway

Well, it is time for the 2nd giveaway. This is part of a pay it forward and backward scheme of mine to celebrate all kinds of milestones and gratefulness. You can read about it at the first post here.

And the winning post here.

This is a piece I have made specifically to giveaway.

I am going to call it Bella. It is beautiful to me, like the person I named it after.

It is entirely hand constructed by me with copper wire and Cernit beads. The black long tube beads you see are Cernit also. The flowers are too.

It has a handmade signature bead on the eye side of the clasp that says Segal and that is Cernit too.

The necklace is one of a kind. Just like the person I named it after.

To win this beauty you will have to comment on the post. Maybe I should make you all do tricks. Naw!

Just comment.

This giveaway will end on the 3rd of July at 6 pm PDT. I am not staying up till midnight. The night I set it for midnight, I wanted to go to bed early.

PS. I will be deleting duplicate commenters as I go so it is a little easier for me. I still love you!

#16 Myra Katz come on downnnnnnnnnnnn

I went in to the post last night and numbered each and every post and then deleted the two repeats.

I generated random #16 with my daughters watching and looked, there was Myra Katz.

Congratulations Myra!

I also read through again all of the sweet and beautiful comments. Howard and I loved each and every one as they came in, but reading them all at one time was just awesome and good for me. I am forever better because of all of you!!

Sometimes sitting behind this computer I forget that there is a whole world of wonderful people out there.

On some days I feel like I am talking to myself.

Any way thank you, thank you, thank you!

This was great fun and I am ready for the next.

And here is a sneak peek of the next giveaway to be posted to this blog soon.

xoxo
