***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
Thanks to random.org, we’ve got a Merry (belated) Christmas prize going out to… Kristin Aune (who made t-shirts for both of her kids, ornaments, buckeyes and has been trying to perfect her fudge pie recipe). Congrats!
Wahoo. Hope you guys all had an awesome holiday weekend (you can see a sliver of ours here). As we mentioned on Friday, we’ll be stopping in with one quick post each day this week (amongst family hosting, feverish book-deadline writing, and priming & painting all of our kitchen cabinets). But we couldn’t wait to share today’s giveaway that we wrangled after seeing so much amazing stuff at our local Handmade Holiday craft fair. So this week’s lucky winner will get:
- An 8×10 letterpress print (any choice of quote & color), a set of blueprint notes (airplane, boat, golfcart, knots, wave, or lighthouse) and a leather blank book from Almanac Industries. These Baltimore-based bookbinders and letterpress gurus bring a wonderful worn and masculine vibe to these printed prizes.
- $50 towards Funnel Cloud Studio on Etsy. Obviously we love her Virginia-themed art, but she also has a bunch of cheerful patterned prints and cheeky illustrations to choose from too.
- A 26-letter ornament set and this green vase from Turnerbots. And we thought our J, S, C and B initial ornaments were cool. Someone’s about to get a whole alphabet full of candy colored ceramics, along with a V-A-S-E.
- $50 towards Zou Zou’s Basement on Etsy. We loved the bunny print that we bought, and this $50 is enough to snag two of her colorful prints.
- PRIZE: Everything mentioned above
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “HAND IT TO ME” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … what you’ve made with your own hands recently. Did you bake something for the holidays? Did you give a handmade gift this weekend? Or have you tackled a DIY or homemade art project recently?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, December 28th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
- DISCOUNT: 10% off any item in Turnerbots’ Etsy shop until January 15th, 2012 with the coupon code YOUNGHOUSE.
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…
Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Funnel Cloud Studio, Turnerbots, Almanac Industries and Zou Zou’s Basement.

My hubby and I spent the summer and fall building a 10×14 shed that’s. 12 feet tall. Built it from the ground up ourselves, no precut or premade pieces!
Emily says
Hand it to me! I did a lot of baking this year: chocolate chip cookies & chocolate-dipped graham crackers for some friends, rum balls for co-workers and for our family Christmas Eve party, pumpkin dip for the Christmas Eve party, and cauliflower gratin for Christmas dinner. Woo hoo!
Kristin says
Hand it to me!! (I feel so demanding saying that!!)
I made a blanket that my 3 yr old begged me to make for him. It pretty much went unnoticed, but i know he’ll love it once the fun dies down with the new toys. (and I made 60 cinnamon rolls for our family get together. Yummy, but WAY too many!)
Jesllee says

Lucia says
Hand it to me!
Today is the first day I haven’t cooked or baked in two weeks! It’s wonderful!
Linda says
HAND IT TO ME! I made rolls that I had not made before twice. Apparently I can not handle being ready for Christmas early and at the last minute decided we needed homemade rolls to add to the dinner. Then I made them again the next day because we ate them all the first day and I wanted more. I resisted making them again today, but I can’t speak for tomorrow.
Kara says

Courtney Foster-Donahue says
HAND IT TO ME!!! (please?)
For Christmas this year, ALL of the gifts I gave my family were handmade. And it was quite an undertaking. I’m sure I’m going to forget some in this long list, but I made: state of Tennessee string art, vintage Coca Cola ads/Santa coasters out of stone tiles, Scrabble tile magnets (100!), black and white custom photo art, shadowbox monogram made out of upcycled beer caps, “fancy” linen spray (Febreze alternative), a cookbook with recipes specific for someone with Crohn’s disease, a record bowl wrapped in jute, homemade soap, and more. Whew. The idea for a strictly handmade Christmas was born from a promise I made on my blog — check it out! It was obviously time-consuming, but also very rewarding — AND very cost-effective!
Lindsay says
HAND IT TO ME!

Well we were ou of town for the holidays and recently moved into a newhome, so there was zero time for handmade goods this year. I did however attempt to tackle dyeing some fabrics at home. I bought the rong dye online, but tried it anyway…major fail! But I’ll be back at it after the new year!

I’ve recently discovered a love of deviled eggs made with cayenne pepper and have felt the need to make them and take them everywhere. I’ve easily gone through two dozen eggs in the last week!
Erica Blackburn says
HAND IT TO ME!
For Christmas gifts, I re-purposed old printer’s trays into spice shelves and jewelry displays! I love getting crafty for the holidays, and I think a homemade gift from the heart is better than anything from Wal-Mart any day! Love the blog!
Robin says
HAND IT TO ME!
