I'm hosting a GIVEAWAY!

That's right folk!  I'm hosting a giveaway for another artist: Jon Fine!  I've featured Jon's work previously on my blog as well.  He's asked If I would host a giveaway promotion for him on my blog and I said I'd be most happy to. 
Jon makes wonderful woodwork creations.  He is 55 and currently lives and creates in south New Jersey.  His creations are truly wonders to the eyes.  He makes a little of everything from coat hangers to door frame decorations, picture frames to clocks.  And this month, he has been gracious enough to donate not one, not two but THREE items for a giveaway to you, my loyal readers!

Here's how it works: each time you do one of the following things you will be given "chances", meaning your name will go in my "hat".  To make certain that I am fair in drawing a name from the hat, I will have my dear BF do so and will make sure to take pictures.  That way you will all know it was fairly drawn.

Upping the anti on the experiment

OK... I've started my promotion of both my Etsy shop and my Artfire studio by offering a free gift. I will be offering a free pair of matching earrings for every pendant and necklace purchase made in either of my shops. On Artfire this is clearly marked in my studio by lovely little "free gift" banners on each listing picture. In my Etsy shop it is placed up in my shop announcement. I have started a forum thread for the specials in the Contests and Promotions section on Artfire and in the Promotions section on Etsy. Let's see how it goes.
I'll try to bump the threads in each forum area at least once a day.
I will be posting any sales resulting from these specials as well as continuing to post my view comparisons.
Here we go!
