First Friday Freebie!

Yeah!!!! It’s a give away.

I have been blogging for just a little over a year now and it’s been a wonderful experience. I have made so many friends, from all over the world really. You’ve all given me such amazing support and have truly nurtured my creative soul. Now I’d like to give something back.

This is the first of a bunch First Friday Freebies that I’ve got planned. Why First Friday? Well, one I like the alliteration of the F words (nice F words mind you). Also, the First Friday of the month is one day of the month I generally can remember. I don’t know why, but other Fridays can get lost in a drift of time. No I do not have dementia and I am mostly quite oriented to reality. Time just isn’t one of those things that always holds much relevance to me. So there you have it.

This first give away is for a mystery bowl of beads. It is a mystery because I haven’t finished firing all of my beads this week. So not even I know exactly what will be in it. But you all like a surprise, right? I promise it will be a nice surprise.

Now for the details. You have until midnight Thursday to comment here and you will be in the running for this beady goodness. Any ole comment will do. I’d love to spread this beady goodness around. So if you’d like another chance at this you can blog, tweet, facebook it. What ever you would like to do. Just come back and leave another comment about it and you will have another chance. On Friday next week I’ll randomly pick a winner. So be sure to come back next Friday.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
Hi again. A couple of questions have come up. Everyone is eligible for this. I will ship these beads out anywhere. So don't hestitate to enter if you are not in the US.
Also if you blogged, twittered, or whatever, be sure to come back and leave me another comment so I can give you another chance.
Thanks everyone for participating.
