Hi everyone, I will be heading out of town for a week, but before I do, I wanted to announce I am having a block party (blog party) give away! It’s my first blog give away and I wanted it to be fun and full of prizes- and not just from me! Read on.
The 1st item I am giving away will be one of the following tools: Jumbo Butane Torch, Tronex Flush Cutters or Swanstrom Round Nose Pliers. ( The winner will choose one from the three offered below). This way I am sure you are winning something that you can really use!
The 2nd item in the give away is a metal design stamp. The stamp image measure 4.5mm. This stamp is a custom made stamp. A fun and funky design.

The 3rd item in the give away is a pair of handcrafted earrings I created in sterling silver and Swarovksi crytals. My fifteen minutes of fame was when these earrings were chosen as the cover image for the Step by Step Wire Magazine last winter.
I now would like to introduce our first of three etsy artisans who have been generous enough to donate additional prizes to my block party give away. Amy Jazwinski with Bean Sprout Studio. creates beautiful jewelry but I discovered Amy on etsy when I was looking to have a logo created. Amy created my logo for Jeanette Blix (above in header ), she designed my business cards and a print add for Belle Armoire jewelry. And most recently, she designed “FOR THE LOVE OF FONTS” newsletter (below). Amy has become my to-go person for all my graphic design needs.
The 4th item in the give away is Amy’s generous donation of a custom business card design. This will not include the cost of printing, but Amy can suggest different printers that you can work with. The image below is the business card she designed for me:
There’s more!
Cindy Wimmer with Sweet Bead Studio is also one of the generous participants of the block (blog) party give away! She has donated the fifth item for the give away, this lovely “wish” pendant. This pendant will sure to bring “good wishes” to the lucky person to win it! Isn’t it lovely! Thanks, Cindy!!
And last, but not least, beautifully crafted polymer clay beads created by Christine Damm with “Stories they tell” will be the 6th and final prize of the give away. Christine has named these Tudor beads and the colors she used in these beads are perfect for the fall. Aren’t they awesome!!?? Can you imagine what a beautiful piece of jewelry you can create with these beads??!!
