February 2009 ArtFire Giveaway!!

CLOSED FOR NEW ENTRIES!!--Winner is Elaine R

Well, welcome to February and therefore, to the February ArtFire Giveaway! Our January Giveaway was a huge success, so we're back this month with another fabulous bundle of girly goodness!!!! There are 11 sellers participating in this giveaway, so the entry rules are a little bit different. Please read them carefully as any entries that don't meet the criteria will be skipped. But first...here's the loot!!!

(There is one more item on the way that's not pictured.)

This month's prize consists of these fabulous gifts: Pink Sugar Natural Soy Wax Candles by Soy Scentual, a jar of Pamper Your Hiney Satin and Silk Lotion in Love Spell from Shine Your Hiney Soap, a Have a Heart beaded bookmark from bijouxdesignsforyou, a 7.5" hematite and Swarvoski crystal valentine bracelet with a toggle clasp from Jewelry to Keep by Suzanne Baxter, matchbook notepads (6) and floral envelopes by Recupe Fashion, a bar of Pomegranate soap from soapdeli, handmade valentine notecards from timelesspaperarts, Hearts Aflame earrings by GemKitty, and the Access ceramic pendant from my shop, Risky Beads. The item pictured separately arrived a little later; it's a beautiful Irish Wool and Linen bracelet from Painted Bull. One item hasn't arrived yet: 5"x7" Red Berries on Blue photographic print from MNH Photography and . These products retail for $110.00!!!

But, wait, it gets better!!

Each owner of these shops has volunteered one of their products because they want to promote their shops but also ArtFire as a venue so we are all offering 10% off in our shops during this giveaway! Use this code when purchasing: RBFEBAF10P** ArtFire is a relatively new site in the grand scheme of the online handmade market scene, but we like it because it's very open and has a fee structure that allows us to put our money into our product. If you've been considering giving ArtFire a try, I encourage you to do so. The site is growing fast; the administration is extremely responsive when there's an issue, and there are many different platforms for community involvement and improvement that are community driven.

So on behalf of Val at Soy Scentual, Patti at Shine Your Hiney Soap, April at bijouxdesignsforyou, Suzanne at Jewelry to Keep, Nathalie at Recupe Fashion, Rebecca at soapdeli, Kalla at timelesspaperarts, Kathy at GemKitty, Deon at MNH Photography , J.J. at Painted Bull, and me (Lori) at Risky Beads, here are the rules for entering the February ArtFire Giveaway!

The winner of the contest will be chosen by the random number generator at random.org, so each comment is one entry unless it's incomplete, in which case it will be skipped.
