It's My Birthday and time for my fall giveaway!


Hello Everyone,

Guess what???  It's my birthday today and it's time for my fall giveaway.  I'm going to go out on a limb a little bit here.....because it's my birthday, I'm not only giving away one custom sculpt, but two!  That's right, TWO ImagiMeri's Creations sculptures.......woweeee!

Now the way this works is, I will have one grand prize winner and one runner-up.  The grand prize winner will get to choose a custom sculpt from the images provided here today and the runner up will receive one of my older, already completed sculpts.  This contest ends on September 23rd, otherwise known as "the first day of fall."

All you have to do is 1.) be a follower, and 2.) leave a comment here on this post.........that's it!  However, to sweeten the deal, the people who post my button or about my giveaway will be the pool of followers that I choose the grand prize winner from.   You will need to leave a second comment letting me know that you either posted my button or wrote a post about it, so that I can verify.  Those that only leave comments will be the pool of followers that I choose the runner up from.  Does this make sense to you all?

Here's my button:


And here's the link to post with it:




Here are some graphics to choose from should you be the grand prize winner:
 







And, should you be the runner up, here are your choices of my already completed sculptures:

Pumpkin #1
Pumpkin #2
Pumpkin #3

Pumpkin #4
Witch

So, now, easy peasy......right?  Again, to qualify, you must be a follower, you must leave a comment on this post before September 23rd (the first day of fall), and if you would like to win a choice of a custom sculpt from the images posted in the beginning of this posting, you must post my button or write about the giveaway on your blog and leave me a second comment telling me so.  If you are fine with winning a sculpture from my current stock, just leave a comment on this post.

Also, since it's my birthday, I thought I'd share with you the main gift my sweet hubby got for me.  A brand new:  Canon EOS t2i, 18 mp, HD with 1080p capability for movies.........CAMERA!

Yes, I'm spoiled (it's not just the way I smell).  He's gotten me additional goodies to go with it, but I'll post about those later.  Needless to say, I've got my work cut out for me in regards to just about needing a degree to operate it.

I've got big plans folks, so if you're a follower, I hope to take you on a wonderful ride in the next year or so.

I look forward to picking my winners on the 23rd!

Big Hugs,
Meri

Happy Birthday! And thanks for the images!

Hi, I'm a follower and it's my birthday month, too. I'm posted on Two Crazy Crafters with you. Please include me in the drawing. I love you sculptures. :)

Happy, happy birthday my dear friend. I wish I had known, there would be some washcloths in your mailbox. Now you did it, I'm knitting you some tonight. Tell me your three favorite colors and they will be out to you when they are done!!! And you can't tell me not to, because I already have your address!! :) I had a birthday last month, and I think we might be getting me a new sewing machine for my birthday/Christmas/anniversary gift for the next 20 years! I'm crossing my fingers. My old faithful is really old, and not so faithful any more.
I hope you have a wonderful birthday. I love your camera. I just had to buy a new one and kind of looked at the nicer ones, but ended up with the more basic kind because I probably couldn't handle a better one. Maybe someday. I'll let you figure out how to use it and then you can teach me!!!!
Please count me IN on the giveaway. And, as always, thank you for sharing all the wonderful graphics.
How is Mom? Send her my love!!
Big birthday hug,
Julie

Happy Belated Birthday, my Birthday is also in September the 20th. What a wonderful gift your hubby is a keeper! Thanks for the lovely comment I never really thought about the fact that the collectibles are usually purged before relocation to Arizona. I would not survive there! I LOVE my treasure hunting. I will be listing some vintage bulbs on Etsy so keep an eye out. Hugs, Diane
