Giveaway…no foolin’

sewing

It’s the 300 post giveaway. Finally. You’re all so pumped, right? I’ll get to the point and then I’ll post pictures of all the rest.
Photobucket

To enter: You must leave a comment to enter. Consider the comment your “entry form.” If you do any of the extras, it must be stated what you did in the comments in order for them to be counted. Your comment can be anything, really. If you do not know how to leave a comment, ask the person to your left.

This is a straight drawing, so leaving a comment will give you one entry in the drawing. Want more entries? Well, if you become a fan of Nerdy Gerdy Boutique on facebook, you’ll get another entry. (If you’re already a fan, this counts too!) If you’re not on facebook, well then you can’t do this one. If you are really dedicated, you can post a link to this giveaway on facebook. That’s an entry. You could post a link on facebook to your favorite item in my store. Boom, another entry. If you blog about this giveaway or my store, you’ll get an entry for each of those. Again, if you don’t have a blog, or you do have a blog and don’t want to, you still have your other chances.

Breakdown:
comment (required) = 1 entry
fan of Nerdy Gerdy on FB (optional) = 1 entry
FB link to giveaway (optional) = 1 entry
FB link to favorite item in NGB (optional)= 1 entry
blog about giveaway (optional)= 1 entry
blog about Nerdy Gerdy (optional) = 1 entry

That’s a total of 6 possible entries to win this bag!

Comments will close tonight, at midnight. At the stroke of twelve, the spell will be broken.

You need details? I’ll give you details…
The outer and inner fabrics are out of print RARE Joel Dewberry designer fabric. The outer is almond color with brown sparrows. The lining is burnt orange with a circular print. The brown is a beautiful Kona cotton, and the outer fabric has fusible fleece attached to it to give it strength and body. It has a magnetic snap closure, and a little pocket inside that’s perfect for a cell phone or some keys.
Photobucket
The body of the bag is 7.5″ high, and 12″ wide at it’s widest point. It’s the standard buttercup bag size from the blog: madebyrae.blogspot.com.
Photobucket
Don’t forget to make sure I have your email address, or have some obvious way of contacting you if you win. This was actually a problem in the last giveaway, because the person who was going to win did not leave her email address, and her google profile was private, and I had no means to tell her she won. So I picked another winner. Don’t let that happen to you!

One more bonus: if you win this bag, you will match me. I made myself a bag just like this one. If you’ve ever wanted to be a twin…there you go.

Good luck everyone!
