*** FINALLY! The (FIVE) Bead and Button Bead Giveaways! ***

This giveaway is now over and closed --
stay tuned for more!



To say things have been crazy since I came back from the Bead and Button Show is to put it mildly.  The sign ups for the Bead Soup Blog Party started the next weekend, Zack went to camp, I tried to clear my table (unsuccessfully) and before I knew it, I realized I hadn't posted my giveaway!


This is a five-part giveway -- which means there are five chances to win something. 


First, bits and bobs I bought or was given at Bead and Button:


In full disclosure of what was bought and what was donated:  The mini Wubbers were in my treat bag; the winged heart was donated by Andrew of  Green Girl Studios,  the olive, pink, and brown ceramic pendant was donated by Golem Studio, and the dotted ceramic pendant was in my swap bag from Suburban Girl Studios and she said I should pass it to you.  The filigree pewter, the purple mother of pearl pendant, the blue Greek ceramic pendant, the awesome-cool ribbon, the handmade ceramic button by Diane Hawkey,  and the car-motif connectors by Earthenwood Studio are from me.


,


Wouldn't those car connectors be AWESOME for a story necklace about your summer vacation?




So, that's Giveaway #1.


Giveaway #2 is a FREE Bead Soup Book.
You'll receive it as soon as it's published.



The third giveaway is my eBook on blogging inspriations.




The fourth is a must for going to bead shows -- 
(Your choice of pink, mocha, or navy edges)



And finally, a MYSTERY SOUP
hand mixed by me!


Because this is a pretty big giveaway, I'd ask the following:

To win, you MUST:

1) You post on my your blog about this
2) You leave a comment below with your favorite giveaway

optional

3)  Facebook about this
4) Twitter about this


In your comments, please let me know what you've done.


CONTEST ENDS Friday the 13th of July
(so how can that day be unlucky????)


Good luck!

It's nice that you actually BUY some of the things you give away instead of asking for handouts. It's not unnoticed. Don't count me in the giveaway, I'm not posting my name because I'll get massacred, I'm sure! But thanks for all you.

Lori, this is so great. I feel like I need to give back to the community real soon. Which do I love the most? That's a toughy, but I think I'd better go for the book. Really curious how this evolved into a commercially published book!

Lori, you don't make it easy... Every single giveaway in this mega giveaway are tremendous offers. Bead Soups, I have recently discovered, and think they will be a habit I can't give up. Books are always wonderful reference and inspiration points and who can't use a decent tote???

Good Luck Everyone!

You are such an amazing woman! How do you manage it all!? The Bead Soup alone is staggering. 400 participants?! I LOVE give away #1.. only because the beads/bits/pieces and the Wubbers-I do need a new pair- but, the book looks fantastic, and who wouldn't want a handpicked mix bag from you?! I am going to blog (http://www.thecrafthopper.com) about it right now, and post it to facebook, as well as twitter @MamasCraftRoom !!

Karen said...

Hi Lori, Thank you for the generous give away. My favorite thing you are offering is the hand mixed bead soup though I admit I am also partial to the pretties you picked up at Bead and Button and your book looks fabulous. I can't wait for it to hit the shelves. Best of luck with it!

I want #1 because of the Wubbers but I really really would love to have the book. Either one would be a great gift.

Kathleen Lange Klik said...

What an awesome and generous giveaway Lori! Your heart really has no boundaries. I honestly am having a hard time selecting my favorite of them, I love each one equally! Can I say that my favorite is all of them? I would be happy with any!

I will be writing a blog post on Wednesday July 11th and posting it on my Facebook page now.

ccrider2006 said...

Lori - I would love to have #1 because of the Wubbers but I would also love a copy of your book. I will keep my fingers crossed.

Lisa Yang Jewelry said...

Oh - I love them all, but especially giveaway number 1. I added a link to my blog and facebook pages (http://www.lisayangjewelry.com and http://www.facebook.com/LisaYangJewelry)

Friday the 13ths are always lucky!

carrie chagri said...

Lovely stuff, I love number 1 but they are all amazing prizes!!

Karen Williams said...

Lori - you are so incredibly generous! All of your offerings sound so great, I'd be delighted if I won any of them. I've been meaning to pick up a copy of your blogging book. Think I'll hold off until Friday, just in case. :) But either way, by next week I will own a copy of your book.

I just posted your giveway to my Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/SkunkHillStudio

Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy. Ok so I am loving the first giveaway with the assortment of beads b/c I've been dying for a golem AND a green girls studio pendant for awhile now....OR a mystery soup would be awesome too! I'm blogging about this here: http://beadful-things.blogspot.com/2012/07/fabulous-giveaway.html and I am also posting to facebook about it because it will probably reach many more people there than it will via my blog, unfortunately. (New followers welcome!! ) : ) Great giveaway Lori!! Thanks for the opportunity to win.

JavaBead said...

FUN! I'd love to win the olive, pink, and brown ceramic pendant. It would be a challenge for me! And the pretty purple MOP pendant is pretty too. Or your book. :) Thanks Lori... your blog is always so inspiring and fun! I'll go blog about this on my blog now.

XO,
Dhea

Rose Thorn said...

my first time here, i followed the trail of beads, yes i am a bead stasher, i always need one more to make the necklace......grins, you have such an assortment of things going on, can i like them all??!!!

Kristi said...

I blogged about it here: http://curiositiesbyk.blogspot.com/

My favorite would be any of them. But the order I would choose would be the bits and bobs, book, mystery soup, tote bag (mocha), then eBook!

Lisa Posthumus said...

First time here!! LOVe all of it. I have just started making jewellery so i don't have very much stuff so I would have to say the beads are my favorite. I have shared this on facebook and pinterest. THANKS!

CraftyHope said...

I shared this on my blog today! (http://craftyhope.blogspot.com/2012/07/my-bead-soup-and-few-giveaways.html)

CraftyHope said...

Lastly, I tweeted about it! (@CraftyHope)

Now, as far as which prize pack I would pick. . .Here's the order I would pick them
1. The bits and bobs from bead and button
2. The bead soup book
3. The mystery soup
4. The bag (with mocha edges)
5. The e-book (only because I already have, otherwise it would be higher on the list ;) )

Thank you Lori for being such a generous lady!!

Karen Williams said...

Hi Lori, I just wrote about your giveaway on my blog. Baublicious.blogspot.com. Hope you like!

As for my favorites of the giveaways they would have to be your ebook, your Bead Soup book and your mystery soup (because Who doesn't love a surprise) in that order.

Thanks again for everything you do!

CWSlevin said...

Oh Lori, you are too good to us! I would love to win any of the lovely things you are offering! I will post this on my blog and on my FB page!

Loris Glassworks said...

Hi Lori,
I'd enjoy any of the giveaway items, but the Book is what I'd like most.
I blogged about the giveaway.

Thanks

This is one HECK of a giveaway Lori! I blogged about it, which you can find here:

http://theeclecticelement.blogspot.com/2012/07/bsbp-update-and-contest-alert.html

And I must say I REALLY want those bits and bobbles you picked up at the show ^.^

Although I'd be happy to win anything on that lovely list!

Rochelle said...

Oooooh! So many goodies! I'd like to win them all, but my favorite has to be the beads and your book on blogging!

I shared this on my blog:

http://acreativechelle.blogspot.com/2012/07/giveaways.html

Moobie Grace said...

Now how in the world am I suppose to pick just one favorite? If I had too, I think I'd pick #5...I love a good Bead Soup!!

TorqueStory said...

Lori, these are all fabulous. I'd be thrilled with all of them (well, I already own your ebook), but I think the beads of giveaway #1 would thrill me the most. BTW, I just blogged about the giveaway at torquestory.blogspot.com

Tania Tebbit said...

Hey Lori - awesome giveaways - will be posting on my blog and facebook page.

I love giveaway 5 - life is a mystery!

becca said...

OOOOH! I want to win something! Pretty, please?

They are all so wonderful- I have a hard time choosing, but I think what I'd like the most is your e-book on blogging inspirations. That would really come in handy.

I posted about your give-away here:
http://godsartistinresidence.blogspot.com/2012/07/loris-give-away-at-pretty-things.html

becca said...

And I Facebooked about it! =)

pepita said...

Oh, with such wonderful prizes it is very difficult to choose one! However, I think I would go for the Bead Soup Book first and for the Mystery Soup as second choice. I've blogged about the giveaway and post it on Facebook:

Maneki said...

Great giveaway! As for my favourite it's a really tricky question. But I love books and surpises so if I had to choose it'd either be #2 or #5.

I've just blogged about the giveaway.

Thanks for the chance to win one of these lovely prizes!

Krafty Max said...

OH MY GOODNESS... this is amazing!!

I tweeted about it - https://twitter.com/kraftymax/status/222998074795106304

Posted it on FB - https://www.facebook.com/kraftymaxoriginals/posts/435187876525371

Blogged about it - http://kraftymax.blogspot.com/2012/07/wonderful-wednesday-71112.html

And for me, I don't think I can choose which is my favorite part of the give-a-way....I guess the bead soup....but only 'just barely' above the other prizes!!

Noemi said...

Oh Wow!
i can't believe i almost missed it!

I would be thrilled to win any of those fantastic prizes you have, but if i have to choose I think that I would go for the Soup as we are right in the middle of the BSBP, but then, I would love that Tote, and the books...
Well, you just count me in and hopefully I will be a lucky lady on Friday.

I hope yo are keeping well.
Best wishes,
Noemi

Thanks for the great giveaway. I couldn't see if this is open to international people, but if I win I'd be happy to help with postage.

I have blogged about it (and done facebook and twitter).

In order of preference, I'd like the bead soup book or either of the bead mixes.
