Congrats to the winners! Enjoy ......
Today is loaded with all kinds of giveaways and great deals in the shops of independent artists. Please check out all the sales by simply clicking on the store of your choice from the links below. Buying a piece of art is something that will bring meaning for a lifetime. I still have family that talk about the first Christmas that I made them jewelry (seven holidays ago). I now either make all (most) of my gifts or I buy them from independent artists. It has become a family tradition.
Following that are the giveaways from our blog. So.... grab your cup of java and spend some time browsing the many shops.... (The links will close at 9 pm EST today.)
For more bargains and giveaways, check out the Beads of Clay for the clay artists who linked up offering sales.
Now, for our giveaways....
Please make sure to stop by each of our contributor's shops by clicking the links below the giveaway item (Feel free to leave up to five comments - one for each shop). Leave a comment letting us know something you liked. I will announce the winners between 8 pm and 9 pm EST tonight. Items and winners will be chosen randomly using http://random.org. I will only choose from entries that leave contact information. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but not being able to locate a winner has happened more than once.
