Because I'm not so much into the crazy hundreds of comments type giveaway, I held a top-secret one recently...
It was so secret that you didn't even know you were entering but if you commented on the last couple of posts , you were entered.

and if you are Jennifer then you are the winner of a Dear Fi

and Cath wins a signed copy of whip-up Mini Quilts by the gorgeous Kathreen which I bought and had signed by Kathreen at the show
see ! personalised just for you Cath ,
and remember when this blog was about made stuff ? Well, I've been slowly plugging away at a make this week. I'm off to sewjourn for the weekend and aim to get this guy finished along with a bajillion or so other projects. I might even cut into the heart-stopping orange wool fabric I bought at Tessuti on Saturday..........
(might)
I do like the sneaky comment giveaways. Kind of like a ninja freebie. Oooo! Something made from bright orange wool but a ninja. i could be on to something here...
ReplyDeletemany nice things to the actual winners of said sneaky giveaway.
Locket? HA!
Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiipppppppppppppeeeee!!! thanks !!! xx
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know how much we all love reading your blog. I get to actually read the words, while the little one makes up stories about your pictures - she's currently wondering "why is the nurse with the king" in your one hour softie picture.
ReplyDeleteLittle One has decided that "maybe the king did call for the nurse".
Hope you are having a lovely day. We are.....

great way to have a giveaway Jodie, can't wait to see your stitchery finished it looks fabulous
ReplyDeleteYay for the lucky winners ! What not me ? Yay anyway !
ReplyDeleteI love the way you do things Jodie [giggle]. Who else would think of a secret giveaway.
ReplyDeletethat stitchery's looking good, Jodie. wish I could be there when you (gasp, shock, horror) cut into that super-duper pricey orange fabric (or maybe not; don't think I could stand the strain!) Have a great time at Sewjourn.
ReplyDeleteHey crazy lady, what a fab life you lead, off to sojourn for another sewing weekend! I hope this one is more productive for you, without all the fans mobbing you and your gorgeous softie family. LOL
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your foxy softie, I'm sure he'll be a heartbreaker, he might even give Ernst a run for his money!
Hugs
Kelly :-)
Such a devious woman you are!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you keeping busy..and outa trouble!!!Why do i have visions a bored Jodie would be trouble waiting to happen????LOL Tracey
Oh wow, I WON! That's amazing, thank you Jodie!
ReplyDeleteSneaky giveaways! That's clever! Away at another crafting event? Do you ever say at home Ms Ric-Rac? LOL
ReplyDeleteThe way to go, definitely. Saves anyone hoping they might win for a month and then having their hopes dashed at the random draw at the 11th hour.
ReplyDeletecourse even better if you are the actual winner - congrats people!
Cheers,
AJ
Now you keep that orange fabric away from my red wine...
ReplyDeleteand I adore a retrospective giveaway! It's the best way ever to do them.
That orange was definitely heart-stopping, looking forward to seeing what you do with it! Have a great weekend at sewjourn, if you're lucky you might never get out of the PJs!!

I'm going to Sewjourn on the next long weekend.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely time! (Which of course you will...)
Have a great weekend! Crafting weekends are always fun catch ups, even if no crafting gets done. (I find margaritas also help said weekends no end)
ReplyDeleteThose are the best kind of giveaways because it allows your faithful "followers" to win instead of the 8 gazillion who stop by only for something free.
ReplyDeleteVery sneaky. I'm yelling nooooooooo inside me head about cutting that orange wool fabric
ReplyDeleteOh you're just the greatest!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun at SewJourn, sounds aces & i know you'll lap it up.
Love Posie

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, what a great "sneaky" idea! Congrats to the winners! Have fun Sewjourn!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a nice thing to do! I had a 100+comment give away on my blog once - nobody ever came back to read my blog, thats not really what you want...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winners - I found this blog from a random blog hop - no idea where I came from, I hope you don't mind...
I'll stop by again, you've got a nice place on the 'net here :-)
Stealth giveaways are definitely the way to go. Having tried both types, I may never go back to the traditional ones again!
