I Heart YA: A Valentines TFiOS Giveaway..! {CLOSED}

Hey look! A giveaway!

Yes! I am doing it here!!!

HiHiHI To anyone who is new... I'm Kat!

I love reading. A lot!

This is the book I am currently reading...<3

Alas, it is also a library book because books are pricey...

But GIVEAWAYS are a good way to get new books for FREE!

Basically, I have two signed copies of John Green's newest The Fault in Our Stars.

Well, I really wanted a hanklerfish so I went and tracked one down on TFiOS day-

&& then my pre-ordered copy from Amazon arrived with a green J-scribble!

I want to give this green J-scribble to you!

Srsly! This could be yours!

also you'll get this fun Lorax mustache as it was&is my favorite childhood book...

...which you can use as a bookmark if you want...?

I don't care ;)

So how can you win this copy of TFiOS??

*No, you do not have to be a blog follower to win...but I'd be nice for me if you were! ;)

3 excellent reasons to celebrate??

I THINK SO!

So I am having a "Kat likes stuff" giveaway!

Except that I forgot to collect things and take pictures.

I suck at blogging. Oops.

So....

Here is a video of 90% of what is going in the prize pack:

SO why should you care?

Do you even WANT free stuff?

Dude. You should. It's free.

&& I will ship ANYWHERE!

YEP! World.Wide.

[Daleks need not apply.]

Why I said 90%:

I thought that it would be fun to let you pick out the last thing!

&& also that is the first entry into this giveaway!
-Would you like me to knit or crochet something?

-Would you like some other craft from me?

-(Americans)Would you like a DVD of one of my favorite movies?

-(Elsewhere)Would you like an English copy of one of my favorite books?

-Would you like something else (~$10USD) that we share a common interest in?

[[EDIT]] 
Update: 14 Jan 2012
It was brought to my attention that the Tweet message
isn't showing up on Rafflecopter, so here it is:
Hey internet friends! @katofdiamonds is having a giveaway.

Sorry about that! xoxo

pay it forward [CLOSED]

So, Ivy had a truly excellent idea

that I have decided to participate in via Christina's blog. 

She has decided to Pay It Forward (explanation below) 

and I hope you will join us in keeping this going:

 "Pay It Forward" Pledge

I promise to send something handmade to the first 3 people who leave a comment here. 
  {Either hand-knit, reconstructed/up-cycled or possibly sewn for my 3 people}
To be eligible, you must also post this on your blog, 
offering the same thing to 3 other people.

The rules are that it must be handmade by you and it must be sent to your 3 people *sometime* in 2011. 

Once you comment to participate, I will hold your spot until you have had time to do your post.  When your post is up, leave a 2nd comment here & I will contact you to discuss your handmade item and your mailing address! 

Imagine with me please that this were really to be chained on and on...

 people all throughout the country receiving packages containing an amazing handmade item and then in turn, those people mailing out 3 handmade items to 3 other people. 

Not only is it an excellent way for us all to connect and share a part of ourselves, it's just fun!

So where are my 3 creative and crafty readers at?

COMMENT! COMMENT! COMMENT!

I hope to be in touch with 3 of you very soon!
&& of course I can't wait to blog about these crafts!

[And I went to get him out of the complex "specialty mail" box during a commercial break of Criminal Minds -- little did they know how special the mail was!]

But there are more important things afoot!

*THE STORY*

Meet Henri.

Henri has been very excited for my package to arrive!

He waited as I opened my arrival!

But got a little impatient as I stopped to adore Christina's awesome business card...

But soon they would meet

face to face!

Don't worry!

They became fast friends!

Also the little guy wanted to show off where he had traveled from...

 

 ...which peeked Kona's interest...

& they had to meet as well!

 

 BUT

There is a problem!!!

  

My lil dragon has no name!

 *THE CONTEST*

Name my dragon!

{twss-heehee}

But seriously!

He needs a name!

*so*

You have until Wednesday, 29 Sept 2010 9pm MST...

[Basically until I finish watching Criminal Minds in Colorado.]

The person who's name I choose will receive $5 off anything in the

Christina's Yarn Crafts Etsy Shoppe!
