Major birthday sale and giveaway!

Here's the post I'm sure you've all been waiting for! (I know I've been watching the clock all day for a logical time to post this; I didn't want to post about it too early!) In honor of my 557th... wait, that's my Elfling age 26th birthday on June 30th, I'm having a major celebration sale and giveaway on Artfire!

Here's the scoop!
-Everything in my Artfire shop will be 26% off from midnight the morning of June 23rd until midnight the morning of July 1st (Tuesday morning until late Tuesday night of the following week). The prices will already be adjusted in the listings, so all you have to do is check-out normally. :)

-With every purchase (well, for every person who purchases something from my shop, not for every item you purchase) you'll get a FREE crocheted hemp bracelet or bookmark in your choice of color (see info below).

-As well as that freebie, everyone who purchases something from my shop is also put in a drawing to win a FREE:
(a)Pair of horns (can look like that one for sale, this pair, or this pair in style)
(b)Crocheted elf ears on a hairscarf/headband
(c)Beaded hemp necklace (scroll down a bit)
(d)Pair of regular earrings
or (e)Single cartilage chain earring (can be pierced or with a cuff at the top)
Any of which would be in your color(s) of choice!

***There's also another way to be entered into that drawing; spread word about my sale and giveaway! Post about it in your blog (feel free to use one of those images at the top of this post and link back to this blog post or my Artfire shop), Plurk, Tweet, etc, and then come back here and reply with the link to where you posted about it. No purchase necessary!***

The winner will be randomly drawn and I'll make a blog post on July 1st letting you know who won- then the winner can email (merigreenleaf@gmail.com) me their item and color preference and mailing address. If I get enough sales, I'll likely do more than one big giveaway, so your chances will improve. :D

I'll be posting about this on my blogspot blog as well as my livejournal; it doesn't matter which one you reply in or link to, you'll be entered into the same drawing. :) I'll also be hanging out in a thread in the promo section of the Artfire Chatterbox (you can find me here), so feel free to keep me company there- and keep my thread bumped, of course! ;)


~~~FREEBIE BRACELET OR BOOKMARK INFO~~~
-After you purchases something from my Artfire shop, send me an email (merigreenleaf@gmail.com) or a message via Artfire (make sure it says "merigreenleaf" in the "to" box) with your choice of bracelet or bookmark, and your top two color preferences (I'll try my hardest to make one with your first choice, but if I don't have the beads I'll make the second choice).

Here are some examples of what your bracelet would look like:

I'll randomly use hemp cord or hemp/wool yarn, and glass, wood, and/or plastic beads.

For the bookmark, it'll be yarn (acrylic, most likely) crocheted like the outside (not beaded) part of the bracelet so it can fit between the pages, with the beads at the end so they'd dangle on the outside of the book. I could also make it with a ribbon, sort of like this:

Only it would have more beads on the ends and be book length.


So please spread word about my sale and giveaway, and I hope this drawing and freebieness is fun! I know I'm getting excited! :D
