WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!? Blog Giveaway

Yes ladies and gents, I have decided to hold my very first blog giveaway!

So, tell me, who doesn't love free stuff? I know someone who liked winning things so much that once she entered a contest for a year's supply of free denture cream and she had perfect (real) teeth!

So in the spirit of people who love to win things, you can win this lovely handmade box (origami'd by yours truly) and of course, the handmade contents in it.

So, what's in the box?!?

*Ahem*
I know some of you have been waiting to see what was inside the box before you entered. Without further adieu.... Drumroll Please...

It's an Original Kellibeans Fortune Kit!

The Fortune Kit is my newest product, a totally original gift set (some are themed!), and they'll be available in my Etsy shop starting next week! You can't get these anywhere else, folks!

Inside the winning kit, you will find:

Your very own Fairy Beans mini doll,
purveyor of all things awesome and mascot of mojo magnificence.

And a Set of 7 Handmade fabric fortune cookies,
complete with fortunes divined from the genius that belongs to yours truly.

So here is how you enter to win:

1. Go to my Etsy Shop
2. Come back here and comment under this post as to which of my listings you like best and why.

(You MUST enter this way first, unless you are having technical difficulties with Blogger, and if you are, you can contact me via an Etsy convo/private message to enter.)

The contest ends on Saturday, June 20th. Everyone's entries will go into the Magic Goldfish Bowl of Plenty here in the studio, and Mr. Beans will be the one to draw out the winning ticket. I will post the winner here at 12pm (Central Time) Saturday morning, and will also tweet the results to my Twitter followers.

BUT WAIT---THERE'S MORE!

You can earn one extra entry for doing each of these things, each time you complete a task, come back here and drop me a comment to let me know you have completed them.

(Remember to leave a comment first or else I don't know whom to give extra credit to!)

So on to the deets for extra entries. You can:

1. Buy an item from my Etsy shop.
2. Follow my blog. (applies to new followers only)
3. Post about & link this giveaway on your blog.
4. ReTweet a link to this blog post on Twitter, using @kellibeans so I can find you.

Again, good luck to everyone and get to entering!

Rock Out With Your Smock Out Friday!

Darling Dinky Dumpling

Darling Dinky Dumpling,
Boil 'im in a pot
Give 'im sugar,
Cover 'im in butter
An' eat 'im while e's hot!

Something I picked up from a great grandparent when I was a child, but the reason for this post is that I have been working on some of my dumpling softies to put up in my Etsy shop.

They were named for my Brother, whom I gave the superhero moniker "Mr. Dumpling" as a child when he was in his kindergarten karate phase (the phase he never got out of, he had the trophies to prove it). They all share his wonderful spirit, his sense of humor in some, and I like to think that with each one I make, some little part of his memory lives on.

Hopefully I can get a few pics taken and get them up here to show off in the next few days!

New Softie in Shop!

Kitty and Mr. Chow Indie Goddess Matryoshka Softie Doll

I really enjoyed making this little beauty.
Kitty has been the most fun to make so far in my little matryoshka goddess series.

Dumplings and such.

I've been working on a new and more affordable style of softie to put in my shop and yesterday I believe I may have found a decent match, because it is hellaciously cute but not so cute that it will cause me to lose some of my street cred, (because you know, street cred is tres important and we can't be flitting about without any in our pockets, now, can we?). Okay, maybe they are that cute and I never had said cred in the first place.

They remind me of a mix between onigiri (rice balls) and awesome.

Fresh from the sewing table

Bibs!

These bibs are reversible, and have magnetic closures sewn up inside the bib so little fingers (and mouths) can't get to them. It's like getting two bibs in one!
