| Cheers from both myself and Hubby~! |
Today we celebrate the (almost) end of my month of earrings. I have one day left, but I couldn't think of a more fitting time to throw a mini-party with my readers. See, I have reached over 1,000 page views to this blog. I am almost up to 50 posts. And I'm starting up a new post-a-day challenge as of Sunday!
Today's post kills two birds with one stone, metaphorically speaking. My earring-of-the-day is part of the special giveaway that I've been hinting about for a while now. SURPRISE!
 |
First, the materials. The black beads are glass (the smaller ones) and ceramic (the REALLY small ones on the earrings, and the larger round ones), and the colorful beads are made by myself, out of comic book paper. Archie, to be specific-- I wanted that "retro" feel. Coated in Mod Podge, of course, to make them a bit more water resistant. The ear wires are made from Sterling Silver, so you can wear them without fear of the dreaded "green skin" syndrome!
One lucky winner will get both the earrings and the bracelet. Leave a comment on this post for your chance to win-- I'll be choosing the name at random on Sunday, April 8th, around 12 PM (aka "Noon") Eastern Standard Time, so be sure to put your name in before then!
I'll be announcing the winner on the blog, so I STRONGLY recommend that you follow the blog in some way (either Google Friend Connect or Linky Followers or RSS or whatever you choose). If the prize remains unclaimed after a reasonable amount of time (I'm not talking one day late, guys!), I'll draw a different name.
I'm super excited to be offering these items to all of you. Please don't hesitate to ask if there are any questions about this. Good luck, godspeed, and thank you for helping to make this blog as amazing as it is! I "luff" you all, as one of my friends often says <3

When I read your posts I can never decide if it's your choice of words or choice of materials which brings me back to days of yore, of library story hours & scout meetings. There's always a kernel of the wee little girl I used to see.... Whimisical, indeed!
(And I'd give "my winnings" to Sarah, who'd look smashing in them!)
I'd never have thought of making beads from comics. I'd forgotten Archie. I used to read him when I was a kid.
We've 3 girls in our family, one about to turn 18, one who recently turned 22 and me. If I win, I may well have to have my own drawing to see who actually gets the prize. Thanks for hosting this neat giveaway:)
if i win, i am keeping the prizes... yep, greedy old me... all of your work is great, but these are really interesting.. keeping my fingers crossed... i feel lucky!!
