The main way to enter these is to participate in the party, in other words, to copy the questions I posted (here) and answer them on your own blog, then add your post's link to the Mister Linky widget at the bottom of the official party kick-off post. You can also earn extra entries by visiting the Etsy shops that are donating prizes.
You will notice that a lot of the entry options ask you to leave a comment on this post containing certain information, like what your favorite item is from a particular shop. You Do Not Have To Leave Me 90 Comments! One comment with all that info from all those entries is fine. If you have an Etsy account yourself, actually "favoriting" your favorite item in those donor shops would be really nice of you, as a way to thank them for their generous support of the fun we're having, but it's not required.
I should also note that, with the exception of the Hobbit movie bookmarks, these are not being sent to the winners by me. They're being sent by the donors. The winners will give me their mailing address and I'll give it to the donors. I promise that I will then discard those addresses, and you'll never get junk mail from me at your mailing address or your email address.
PLEASE make sure your information for the giveaway widgets includes your current email address so that if you win a prize, you'll get the email informing you that you won! If you don't reply to my email by Sunday, Oct. 5, I will choose another winner and award your prize to them instead.

Thanks for doing this; this is fun! :-)
I'm not entering because I still haven't had a chance to read the books, but you found some awesome contributors! What fun prizes!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the movies? Or are you holding off until you've read the books?
DeleteI have seen and enjoyed the movies, but I think people who have read the books could probably appreciate these items more than I. Still, good job finding contributors, and I'm glad the LOTR parties seem to be going so well for you!
DeleteAha! Well, that's very sweet of you :-)
DeleteOf the US prizes, I love the Hobbit print and LOTR quotes. They're fabulous (although they all are!!) Thanks again for setting up such awesome prizes!
ReplyDeleteI am consistently surprised by the generosity and goodwill of Etsy shop owners! They are getting nothing but the tiny bit of publicity this blog game gives them, and yet they're giving away some really amazing things!
DeleteHey! I'm not sure if my first comment went through so if it did just delete this one. :)
