The main way to gain entries 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. But that isn't required! You can also earn entries by participating in blog games throughout the week, and 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 or Red Bubble 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 buttons, 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. But that's why there is a US-only giveaway -- the donors are footing this bill themselves, out of the goodness of their hearts, and so they get to choose how far they are willing to ship things.
This giveaway runs through the end of Sunday, September 27. I will draw the winners on Monday, September 28 and post the names of the winners that day, as well a notify them by email.
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 Monday, Oct. 5, I will choose another winner and award your prize to them instead.
Here we go!

The bookmarks are lovely. One of my new favorite items is the "A Bit of a Garden of My Own Succulent Planter" at The Ring and the Lion.
ReplyDeleteMy favorites are the hobbit mug and the "not all those who wander" print

You are so awesome to host this!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite prizes in the giveaway are the Hobbit Hole mug and the gorgeous candle holder. Love both of them!
My fav item on Caesar's Forum is still the Hobbit book cover mug, although I do love that SherLocked mug. Darn, I wish I was still crazy in love with that show.
In ElfScript's shop, LOVE the Wodehouse quote bookmarks, especially the one about tea. Genius, I may have to buy one for myself for Christmas.
In The Fig and Thimble shop, the Red Rose tags are quite lovely.
For Holly and Her Hobbies, love the Wizard is Never Late ornament. Too cute.
Lynellen's shop has that really nice Elf Leaf cellphone pouch thing. Like that a lot.
PieTowel's The Angel is in the Detail design is pretty awesome. Must be because I do data entry for a living.
The Ring and the Lion. Oh my gosh, that Hobbit Hole teacup with the red door!! LOVE IT! So much that I may get it for a birthday gift for my sister! Yes, I love it, but I know she will too. Maybe I'll buy one with a different colored door and we'll have a pair!
VieveLaRein, I pretty much love the piece that will be given away. Seriously, it's amazing, how very clever. Although the Beauty and the Beast candle holder is beautiful too.
So, if I get a chance to visit the sites for the Worldwide giveaway, I'll do that, and I'm afraid I'll have to do it as a separate post. I ran out of time tonight. :)
My favorite prizes are the two mugs. I drink a ton of tea, and for the longest time I've wanted a LOTR mug. I also loved the button set.
ReplyDeleteOn Caesar's Forum I loved the TARDIS mug design and the SHERlocked mug. I'm actually wearing an I am SHERlocked shirt right now. :)
On Elf Script I liked the birdhouse bookmark. It was so pretty!
On TheFigandThimble I liked the Smaug bookmark. It looked so cool! Especially the smoke. I don't think I could ever draw that well.
On Holly and Hobbies I LOVED the OUAT Black Swan pillow. I just finished watching the premier, and OH MY GOSH so good. As well as the Mr. Tumnes books pillow, that was adorable.
On Lynellen's Embroidery Creations I liked the elf leaf bag. It was so well done.
The Ring and the Lion was so difficult to pick. All the mugs were so awesome. I loved the Smaug one with the gold, it was so pretty.
On Vieve la Reine I liked the TARDIS print. I am a diehard Whovian and I am always drawn to anything TARDIS. :)
Unfortunately I'll have to do the post on another day because it's already pretty late (I have to go to bed in a couple minutes).

DeleteO good! Yes I do. :-D Thank you so much!
DeleteOk, I'm sorry to leave two comments but here goes:
ReplyDeleteFavorite shop items:
The Ring and the Lion: hehe. Perhaps I'm a bit biased but I do love everything. I guess the things I love the best I keep and don't put up for sale! The painted door teacups were a longer-ish project and I was very happy with how they came out and so I'll go with those.
Fig and Thimble: LOVE the hobbit door notecards. In fact I think I should buy them right now before someone else does. There products are so reasonably priced and I've shopped with them twice in the past. Highly recommend them.
Holly and Her Hobbies: Love the white tree of gondor on the black background. Very striking.
Elf Script: Elven King's Hall bookmark. That sort of art is one of my favorite styles.
I love your Hobbit door teacups too and have been sorely tempted by them for a while now. But I'm having trouble justifying yet another mug/teacup. But they're soooooooo lovely!
DeleteHey, for some reason the giveaway widget is recognizing my sign in (using email not Facebook). I am trying to add my link to the Q&A thing. I am not sure if my first attempt did not register or what, but I do not want to enter the giveaway twice if my first attempt worked. Anyway, here is the link (I added it to the link widget).

Hannah, the Rafflecopter widgets are showing me that you've only actually entered the US-only giveaway one time, not all the entries you should have for visiting all the shops. And it hasn't recorded you entering the Worldwide giveaway at all -- can you check and make sure you actually submitted all your entries?
