Win, Win, Win...

Want a chance at a great give-away? 

Visit e-workshops written by Riki Schumacher's for four fabulous prizes, and I do mean fabulous. 

First is a tutorial about how to solder rhinestone chain.  Can't you just think of a million ways to use that skill?

Second is a really great destash.  That should inspire a second million ideas.

Third is a bee kit.  Not quite a third million ideas, but quite a buzz.  (Sorry, couldn't help myself.)

Fourth is a video about how to wire rubber cord and make a clasp.  Now that would be fabulous with any number of beads, but mostly I am thinking of beaded beads. 

I discovered RikiSchuacher's other blog Riki Jewelry when I followed the link from the picture of beads she sent for the Bead Soup Blog Party.  I added her to my RSS feed and when I next update my link page I will add her to the ever growing list.

I have to tell you that I do not enter every contest, nor do I add every blog to my RSS feed, but you will be sorry if you miss this opportunity and I don't just mean the contest.  Riki's work is dazzling.

Really Big Giveaway

I don't enter every contest because not every contest features items that I use; I understand that if I do not enter it will increase the chances of some other person winning.

I also don't blog about very many contests for pretty much the same reason.  Although, the trade-off is that I am also not pointing other people to places they might not find anyway.

Today, I am both entering and blogging.  Art Bead Scene has a really big giveaway.  There are already over 250 comments from people wanting to win- including 2 from me.  I am guessing that many of those comments are from people who have blogged about the giveaway, since I read about it from other blogs that I follow through my RSS feed before I ever saw the contest in my google reader.

This is quite a giveaway.  There are beautiful headpins from Havana Beads:

There are yummy wood tile pendants from More Skye Jewels:

I just love those colors.

There are charms from Hint Jewelry (in my RSS feed) and Marsha Neal Studios:

And there are a lot more...  enough to remind you of what it felt like to be a kid with a big pile of gifts just waiting to be opened.

So, drop on by this post at Art Bead Scene and drool over all the pretty beady goodness then enter to win.
