The Second Sand Fibers 1,000! GiveAway

It looks like I might reach the 2,000th sale in the Sand Fibers Etsy store before the end of the year. I am both shell-shocked by this and completely grateful for it. Without you, this would not be possible and so I want to say a big
Thank you!!!

by having another big Sand Fibers GiveAway.  Big,..as in


*** $100 Sand Fibers Gift Certificate ***

That's just the grand prize, which will be drawn first.   

I will also have my trusty random number generator draw 10 names for $15 Sand Fibers Gift Certificates (enough for two patterns - the 3 for 2 program will NOT apply here, however).


The winners can use these gift certificates in my Etsy store or to order a custom item. Or, because I will make the gift certificate transferable and without expiration date, you can give the certificate as a gift.


The "Rules"

To enter the drawing for these prizes, you can do one or more of the following. Please note that to take full advantage of these you must leave a separate comment for each.

  1. Leave a comment here telling me what you would get with a $100 Sand Fibers gift certificate. (Don't worry: I won't hold you to your selections if you win.)
  2. Blog about this give away and leave a comment here with a link to your blog post.
  3. Twitter about this give away and leave a comment here letting me know you did. Be sure to reference @SandFibersRedux in your tweet.
  4. Link to this post on Facebook  and leave a comment here letting me you know you did.  Be sure to use the @SandFibers tag in the post (it will show up on my fanpage wall)

Please leave your email or your etsy/ArtFire/Bonanza store name or something in the comment as well so that I have a way of contacting you in case you win.

If you do all four of these things, you will leave four separate comments and have four separate chances to win. You could, of course, choose to just do one of the four, or two, or three...and that's okay as well. Just enter!

Entries/comments must be made by midnight on Wednesday, December 8. I will use my trusty random number generator to determine the winners on Thursday morning and will announce the winner on this blog later that day.

Good luck! Now be well and get going (but only after you leave your comment)!
