Scarf Giveaway on Twinkie Chan's Blog

I've been following Twinkie Chan all over the internet for yeeears.  She crochets super cute food scarves and is a multitalented maker.  She's been a huge inspiration to me as an artist and sets an example as a fellow lover of cute things.  It was so exciting for me to get a chance to work with her (a fellow blogcadette, too!) as a sponsor.  It's doubly exciting to get a chance to be a part of her monthly giveaways.

I'm offering up this Wimberley cowl for one lucky reader!

So head over to her blog and take a look at some of the other awesome prizes that her generous sponsors have offered ^_^ Seriously...there's some really awesome stuff.  There's lots of ways to enter, so get to gettin' and check out Twinkie Chan's blog here!

Diamond Candles - Ring Reveal and Giveaway Info

Yesterday, I posted about Diamond Candles and I'm excited to show you my ring reveal today.  I was a little impatient and might have poured out some of the melted wax so I could get to the ring more quickly!  Check out the progression...

Ermahgerd! There it is!  It's so fun to see it finally poking out of the wax.  It only took me one day of burning (with pouring out some cuz I'm a cheater) to get to it.  I took a peek at some other reveal photos and it looks like there's some variation on how deep the rings are placed.  But that comes with being handmade...which is awesome.

I grabbed a little dessert dish and a spoon and went to it!  The ring is protected by a zip baggy that's incased with foil.  It was a little messy getting it out.  You'll definitely get some wax on your fingers, but it cools quickly.

Tada!  So sparkly!  Mine was one of the $10 ones...there was nothing on it that indicated I should go to an appraiser.  And it's not really my style as I prefer simpler designs.  Honestly, the rings are super fun and I love the extra surprise, but the candles really stand out on their own.  I mean, this cotton candy guy smells SO GOOD!  The rings are just a fun bonus for me.  I'm a sucker for blind-boxes, so this right up my alley.  So even if the rings aren't your style, don't let that deter you, because you'll miss out on a really nice, handmade, natural soy candle.  There's a honeysuckle one that I want so bad and I'm waiting for it to come back in stock ^_^

Don't forget to visit their website and check out their twitter, instagram and pinterest for more fun reveals.

Etsy Giveaways

So Etsy Giveaways Blog is my new favorite thing.  I found out about a while ago and added it to my Google Reader right quick.  Everyday, post blogs about giveaways that Etsy sellers are having on their own blogs.  I've used them before and saw that my own readership increased because of it!  I've also won some really cool stuff because of it too.

Pandacub Cafe offered up some goodies a few weeks ago and I totally won!  I love her shop and blog, so I was really excited.  She even let me swap out part of prize for a pair of earrings that I had hearted in her shop...and wear them all the time.  I already gave my sister the pair of blue panda pony tail holders (I kept the pink ones) and the bobby pins are going to be a perfect birthday gift for a cousin that may or may not be reading this, so I'll keep it on the DL.  

I've also won a couple other pairs of earrings and a necklace, so I'll try and keep up and post them here.  Until then, please visit Pandacub's Shop!  You'll love everything, I promise ^_^
