Thursday Giveaway...

For this Thursday Giveaway, I wanted to do something special! I wanted to share a few things from the show with everyone out there in the blog world. This week, one lucky winner will take home a "post-Bead&Button Show" stash of beading components. The haul includes work from over nine different artists and comes from some of the top names in the jewelry-making industry! The retail value of this prize package is over $200 dollars and is made up mostly of artist-made beads. It even includes one each of the brand new designs from my family that are so new that they're not even on the website yet!

To win all of these amazing pieces is SO EASY! All you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post. One lucky winner will be randomly selected from the comment section of this post on Monday (June 20th) at midnight EST. Anonymous comments won't cut it for this prize package! Leave your name and email address if they don't already appear next to your comment. This giveaway is open to all participants, including international readers.

Bonus Points: Do you really, really, really want these pieces? If so, you can earn additional entries to win by blogging, updating your Facebook page, and/or Twittering about this Thursday Giveaway. Don't forget to add your act of social media kindness as a SEPARATE comment to this blog post for your extra shot at winning!
