Polymer Clay Winner

The last winner of my giveaway is Silverhartgirl. Congratulations and thanks for reading my blog.

Now I need everyone who won over the past week to send me your address. My email is
garritygal@yahoo.com.

In the subject line, put "I won a clay baby". That way, if it goes to spam, I'll notice it.

I will ship this out by Wednesday or Thursday, and I would like to make one trip, so make sure everyone gets their information to me before then.

I hope you all enjoyed this. I know I did. I plan on doing this more often (not a week's worth), but at least one a month.

So, if you want more chances to win in the future, bookmark my site, or subscribe to it.

But, the giveaways will continue, sporadically, so make sure you become a faithful reader. I may giveaway more clay babies, mini canvas art, book markers, charms, etc. These are some plans I have for the near future.

Polymer Clay Giveaway *Day Four*

Congratulations to Polymer Chick. She won again.

I am really being honest and fair when I pick the winner. My friend Stacy sent me to Random.org and I'm using the dice. Until more than 6 people comment, I only use one.

The first person to comment is number 1, second is number 2,,so on, you get it.

Today the die landed on four. I could be sneaky and roll again till someone who didn't win was picked, but I'm too honest.

I once did a really well known craft show in my area and one of the stipulations was you had to donate a gift worth $10.00 or more for their big raffle. The Raffle was called at the end of the day, after the craft show ended. I always thought that it wasn't really very convenient for them to do it like that. Most shows call their raffles during the whole day.

Well, at the end of one show, I realized why they did it like that. It had taken me a little longer than usual to pack up. My sister was there to help me and was visiting the restroom, close to the raffle table. I was waiting in the hallway for her, where I could here the ending of the raffle. There were only a few people near the table and I realized one woman kept saying, Oh, that's me, I win again. I positioned myself to see what was going on. The only people around the table were the organizer, a few volunteers and the organizer's daughter & her daughter's husband. I stepped back, because I didn't want them to see that I was watching.

A few minutes later the organizer's daughter and her daughter's husband walked past me. In their arms were some nice items, a large wooden snowman, a doll, some wooden ornaments, a shirt, . I didn't catch everything they had, but the daughter looked at me and said, "Can you believe how lucky I am?" Then as they walked further away, I heard her husband say, "wow, you sure are lucky." (pretty amazing, since there was only one raffle ticket per person. You received it as you entered the show.)

I always had such trust when I donated my craft item to the show. I never realized that the organizers and volunteers were keeping the best things for themselves. I had seen a lot of nepotism at that show in the past, but this was beyond favoritism, it was stealing in my opinion. (I never did the show after that. I wrote them a letter telling them what I saw, and they failed to defend themselves.)

My point of this story is that I'm trying to be honest with the daily picks, simple as that.

Today's giveaway is a monkey with a cupcake. (My stained glass pin didn't turn out so well.)

Yesterday I had over 100 visitors (maybe I was counted a few times) but only 4 people commented. So, I wonder, are people shy? Don't they like the clay babies? :(

Don't be afraid to join in on this giveaway! If you live in the United States or Canada, leave a comment and you could win this little monkey.

Polymer Clay Giveaway *Day Three*

Are we having fun yet?

Yesterday's winner was BG. Thanks for commenting.


Today's free Clay Baby is a little patriotic girl holding a flag. It's an eventful day in America. It's a day to put aside all our political differences and hope that America takes a turn towards better days.
So this little Clay Baby represents that. I'm the least political person you'd ever want to meet; I voted for the other guy, but I hope and pray that Obama is the best president we've ever had. Who would wish otherwise?

Let me repeat the rules of this giveaway. Leave a comment. Any old comment will do. It doesn't influence my choice (that's the luck of the draw)..This isn't a gimmick, just my way of thanking my readers, paying if forward, building my blog, growing my business. The only stipulation is you have to live in America or Canada. At least having a mailing address in those two countries. If you live on the moon and have a mailing address in Canada or United States, go for it!! :)

I got side tracked and didn't do the stained glass clay pin yesterday. I had to go to my class and at the end of the day, my legs were hurting so bad I couldn't concentrate. I feel better today, so I'm going to do the stained glass, with photos, so that it's a tutorial. Also, if I like the end results, it will be tomorrow's giveaway.

Let the commenting begin!!

Polymer Clay Giveaway**Day Two

Today's little giveaway is a silly fairy with hearts, just in time for Valentine's Day. She has shimmery wings and comes with a sturdy fishing line so you can hang her from the ceiling if you'd like. If not, she looks just as cute sitting on a shelf.

Remember, all you need to do is post a comment. You may post every day and get a chance to win everyday. Only stipulation is that you live in the United States or Canada. (shipping purposes only)..

Someone suggested that I use Random.org to chose a winner. I numbered each comment in order and rolled the die/dice at Random and yesterday's winner was Polymer Chick! Yeah..

Congratulations and best of luck to everyone who posts today.

I'll be back later to show pictures of my stained glass polymer clay pin.

Polymer Clay Giveaways

Want to have some fun?

For the next 7 days I'm going to give away a clay baby. This giveaway starts today. The little clay gingerbread with a cupcake is today's gift.

How can you win?

Leave a comment.

That's it. Just leave a comment with your name and at the end of the day (10:00 est) I will write the names down on paper, place them in a box, shake and pick a winner. It can't get much easier than that.

I'm going to do this every day this week, Saturday being the last day. I will announce the day's winner on the following day.

So, whoever wins today, will be announced tomorrow.

Next week I will ship out all of the clay babies to the winning readers. I will contact the winners by email, and we can work out the details then.

You can leave a comment daily, giving you 7 chances to win.

This giveaway is only open to residents of United States and Canada. Shipping outside of these countries will be too costly. Thanks for your understanding.

Good luck to you all!
