CPSIA Giveaway #2

132 Replies

Oh, good morning!! I am drinking my coffee kind of strong today!! I can’t find my eyelids!!

Today is our second CPSIA giveaway. Yesterday I was trying to figure out a scheme for winning this one myself, because it is by Amy Quarry. Do you remember the package I won from her back in September? ZOMG, as I believe I said at the time. She sent a dress and warmies (leggings made from sweaters) for Elizabeth, both of which are TEH CUTEST, and she sent a bunch of other things (hair thingies! wall thingies! key thingies! thingies to keep thingies in!) that made me marvel afresh at people who are artistic: How do they DO that? How do they know exactly what will look perfect with what? It baffles and impresses me.

Amy isn’t directly affected by the new CPSIA thing (because she’s Canadian, not because she’s an outlaw), but she says she thinks it’s crazy and wants to offer her support. The prize will be a surprise package customized for the winner, but you can check out Amy’s style at her main place, and at her Etsy shop. She’s one of the artists at goodEGG, and you can read her blog, which is about her funny sweetie little girl as well as about projects.

So! Leave a comment on this post by Sunday, February 1st, at 4:00 p.m. U.S. Pacific time. Because I am SO VERY ETHICAL (well, and because Amy would recognize my mailing address), I’ll choose a random winner rather than creating a fake identity and winning the contest myself.

*********
There is still plenty of room for other giveways, so if you’re an artist/crafter affected by CPSIA or wanting to show support for those affected by CPSIA, email me at swistle at gmail dot com and let me know what you’d like to give away. Don’t be intimidated by the awesomeness of the prizes so far. The prize can be tiny. I’ll handle the giveaway here, and then let you know who to mail the cool swag to.

    I know groveling in a comment in no way affects Ye Olde Randome Numbere Generatore, but the last thing I won was a six pack of orange crush when I was nine. BOO. HOO.

    I always feel like a greedy, naughty jerk when I comment on contest posts, but I just wanted to say that a goal of mine for 2009 is to support artists on Etsy, both local and just cool people. Not only does my recipient (or myself) end up with a cool, unique gift, I don’t give as much money to The Man. Target’s taken enough of my money for one lifetime and let’s not even discuss Walmart. Ew.

    Sigh. It is my hope that my husband and I can adopt a girl this year. Then I can order the pink pleats toddler dress and ooh and aah at how cute she is. :)

    Can she make some vintage dresses in girls’ sizes? Princess wandered over and say the retro dot one on my screen and said she would LOVE to have that dress. Of course my size 5 girl is ALL about dresses these days. She mopes if I make her wear jeans or pants.

    I never enter people’s contests, but since I did one of my own on my blog and my random # picked my friend who lives in N. Ireland, it ended up costing me $50 to send out the prize so I feel like there is some good karma for me to collect somewhere in the universe.
    Okay, honestly, if it was an International reader who I didn’t know for reals, I may have picked another random winner. I’m the biggest jerk I know.

    I don’t know why I am bothering, the random number thing hates me but, this stuff is way too cute.
    Also I hope they can fix this new law as it is right now it looks like big business will be just fine while all the little guys will be forced out. SUX!

    I am waiting for CPSIA (?) to exempt small crafters – if this thing goes through I will lose even more faith in the logic of rule makers!

    I have a friend with a new baby girl expected in couple months and I want her to have something special. Wouldn’t a baby girl sized gifty basket be lovely?

    Okay, do you want to know why I love you so damn much? Because you throw out these little comments like, “Oh, good morning!! I am drinking my coffee kind of strong today!! I can’t find my eyelids!!”

    I don’t even care if you enter me in your giveaway, I just want to tell you that you’re awesome.
