The Weird Giveaway - See Original Posting

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make! (Though I hope you will!)

2. What I create or find will be just for you.

3. It'll be done this year {might be a little while}

4. You get no clue what it's going to be. It may be jewelry. It may be poetry or maybe even some creation I haven't even invented yet. I may draw or paint something. I may bake you something and mail it to you. I may mail you another artist's piece. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!

5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must repost this on your blog and offer to do the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog.

The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me or not made by me or made by me! PS: Please leave your address in my email at Etsy in case your surprise finds you via snail mail - we don't want you leaving your address on my open blog for the world to see:)

So how do you qualify? You know there are some serious rules to this game.

ONE- you can't have won anything from me at any point.

TWO- your willingness to pass on the love must glow in the dark. That part is so easy since computer screens do just that in the middle of the night when people are blog reading due to lack of shut eye. So, that means you have to be willing to do the exact same thing! Blog it baby!

THREE- you have got to leave a comment on this post. Actually, I'm going to make it more interesting, since we are already going to be breaking all sorts of rules here. I want you to write a little poem in my comments. Poems don't have to rhyme remember, but they do have to have flow and have rhythm. So bedazzle me people!

FOUR- I will get this done within the year 2009 which means as long as you get it before you kiss someone at midnight on the 31st of December I have done it well. Of course the little procrastinator that lives in my head most likely will not allow for that, even in being a queen procrastinator, so it may be sooner.

FIVE- This is going to be a blissful surprise. You have no idea what my little gift to you is going to be until you get it. I reserve the right to make something totally awesome of course, OR I may be really squirrelly and send you a piece of art made by another artist and if you don't like it, whatever it may be be - mine or someone elses, I promise to take no offense and give you 100% permission to white elephant it at your next work Christmas party.

SIX- Now this rule rocks as far as I'm concerned. It should be number one really. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DO SOMETHING EXTREMELY STRANGE. Now I have to start greasing the turn crank on the front of my brain with some WD-40, as I'd love to do something strange for each of you. Will I? Depends on how thinky I get. And because I need to know your address so I can properly hunt you down if I have something that can't be sent via email I will need you to email me your snail mail address (email it to my shop at http://www.jewelrybymignon.etsy.com/ -which guarantees your email doens't get deleted on random delete day for my regular email, considering I get up to 100 emails on any given day on my regular email and some days I just hit the delete button without reading - do you really think I'm reading 100 emails a day, rukidding). I promise not to send you all my junk mail, or to forward you my unpaid bills, however any takers would not be turned down. I will also promise to not show up at your home ever, lol. Point is, I'll behave myself when it comes to having the 5 winners', of something, addresses.
