Ok, so a giveaway of just one of Rhonna's kits would be enough to make my toes tingle, but to give away 209 of them! Holy Cow need I say more?
So go on over to her blog and enter and see for your very self that this is indeed true!
Check out the blog posting here!
You could win a set of Bombshell Stamps!
Two prizes this time!
First up: Bombshell alpha stamps - these are unmounted red rubber stamps with a tattoo-shop feel to them.
Second: a unique find from our stash - FORTUNE-TELLING MERMAID!
You know those fortune-telling fish? You lay the thin layer of plastic in your hand, and what the fish does tells your fortune? Like, it might curl up or lay flat or whatever… well, this is a lewd version of the same thing. The mermaid tells you how she likes it. From her gentlemen callers. Quite the piece of kitsch, I tell you.

You've never seen beadweaving quite like this! Using variations of peyote stitch, disabled artist Carrie Kilgore crafts fine trinket boxes and vessels using high-quality Miyuki seed beads, Swaovsky crystal, and Czech glass. Think of the possibilities: a gift box for that special piece of jewelry, a keepsake box to keep a child's tooth or lock of hair, a pill box, a ring box for your nightstand, or a beautiful miniature sculpture to delight the eye!
Each piece is 100% unique. Carrie does not ever make the same box twice and refuses to work from patterns. (She does, however, accept custom requests based on a previous pattern or form .) The joy in creation requires using her brain, her mathematical acumen, and of course, her hands and creative instincts. These boxes are crafted as a single piece - beads woven one by one on a single length of firewire, an extremely durable type of line. Don't miss the opportunity to acquire your family's next precious heirloom and bring a bit of sparkle into your life!
