Bloggy Giveaways is hosting another giveaway carnival. This is the third one I’ve known about, and I thought it was time I participate. If you have just stumbled across this blog via Bloggy Giveaways (or your own creative devices), welcome! If you are a regular reader of Anodyne Design, you may already know that from time to time I give away something handmade. (To see examples of the types of things I make, check my Etsy shop or Flickr.) Now seemed like as good a time as any to give away something else!
Before I get to the good stuff, there are some “rules” we have to take care of. This blog giveaway carnival thing always gets huge. And that means lots of people who want to be winners (and believe me, I totally get you) are flying through blogs leaving comments without ever actually reading more than a sentence on the blog (not you, though! You are clearly reading more than that!) I’m sorry, but the price of admission to this giveaway is that you at least read the rules.
So please, to be entered to win this giveaway, leave a comment on this post with:
- a valid email or web address (you can’t win if I can’t contact you!)
- a reason why you should be the winner
That’s it. The rules really aren’t so bad, are they? I’d love it if you stayed awhile and checked out the rest of Anodyne Design, or added it to your feed reader for later, but that’s completely optional.
Now, the good stuff. You’ll be entering to win a Modern Diamonds Card Wallet, handmade by me.
The card wallet can hold all sorts of things–business cards, credit cards, ID, cash, small gifts, feminine products, and anything else no bigger than 3″ x 4.75″. The outside is corduroy, and it closes with a pretty pearl and silver snap. Pattern placement may vary a bit on the actual giveaway wallet.
The giveaway will run from 8:00 a.m. Monday, January 28th to 9:00 p.m. Thursday, January 31st. From the comments that followed the rules, I will select a winner based on the comment that most captured my attention (and I’m sure you can think of all sorts of ways to do that). A second winner will be selected with a random number generator, so you have two chances to win: pure luck (and following the rules) and a little bit of luck and a whole lot of interesting (and following the rules). The prize for the second winner will be an as-yet-to-be-selected card wallet (so if you want, tell me your favorite color in your comment, too, and if you’re the winner of the second card wallet, I’ll see what I can do for you). Anyone can enter. I will ship internationally. I will announce to winner in a blog post on Friday, February 1.
Get to it! And good luck in all your attempts to be a winner.
What a beautiful card wallet! I really like it. My favorite one is the one you have featured – modern diamonds, though I think all of your products are beautiful! Why I should win… I feel bad answering this because I’m sure there are plenty of other ladies who are just as deserving as me. :-)
I need to win because I need a place to put those fabulous mommy crads I entered to win on another blog!

I really need this beause it is REALLY embarassing when you get to the gas station, pump your gas, and can’t pay for it because you card is in your OTHER pants. Ask me how I know this. Really, ask, it’s not like I have any more pride left anyway…
I deserve this because I am 35 weeks pregnant and need a little pick me up right now.
Great contest!

Beautiful! I should win because the 5 year old wallet that I have is falling apart and actually drops my cards!! Really what good is it if it doesn’t keep track of my things.!!!
Your stuff is gorgeous!!
So perfect for business cards I want to keep for referring to small entrepreneur businesses I go to for gift shopping! Thanks! ( meg.wilson@gmail.com )
Well, first, my favorite colors are red and pink (though probably not together). :)
Second, I NEED a new card holder/wallet. I have a really great wallet, you see, but it’s much too big to even fit inside of the purse that came with my diaper bag. The diaper bag is from Rowdy, and I love it. It’s a splashy red mock-croc bag, and it has an attached purse. (This is great in itself, except that my darned wallet won’t fit into the bag.) So I need a new wallet to store my cards and cash in that will actually go into the purse. You see, you simply must pick me. :)
A reason why I should be the winner? Hmm, I think everyone needs this just as much… as a stay at home mom, I’m hoping that I get just one piece of joy and beauty from this bloggy carnival, to brighten up my day and make me smile. :) Thanks for the contest!
thanks
I love that, and I think I should win because I could really use it to keep my cards in to quickly grab and go. With a baby, I need anything that helps me do things faster!
These are wonderful–I would love one of your handmade creations. Thank you for the giveaway!
These are pretty cute.
I’m pretty sure that I should win this because I have yet to find a suitable carrying-case for my *cough*feminine products*cough*, and I am forever digging them out of my plethora of purses, here a tampon, there a pad, a couple pantiliners over here, some little OB tampons huddling in the corners of another purse. It would be nice to corral them all in one place so I don’t have to pick off lint and crumbs from a pad before I use it.
That said, I am a big fan of green, and I love brown as well. I am partial to blue/green combinations as well, but I like it all. :)
Love pink and brown… I am craving small after two years with a diaper bag! Sounds great! Please count me in!
i love these! the night flower is so cute……if i win the mommy cards i can put them in this awesome card wallet.
thanks for the giveaway

My favorite color is magenta and I should win because I’ve been on the lookout for something to hold my business cards, and this looks perfect!

I think I should be the winner because I read the rules.
If I am the second winner, my favorite color is pink.
Come check out my giveaway.
I should win because… I read your whole post? :D
My fav color is pink! (and black :D)
Thanks for the cute contest!! :)
Please pick me I’ve just begun passing out buisness card, but really need a safe place to carry them so they do not have the contour of my wallet.
Well this has to be the coolest thing Ive seen in the giveaways so far! I think I should win because…. well because I took the time to read the rules and..yeah I guess thats it! I never win anything so Im not going to hold my breath, but if I do win I would love one of these in brown/sky blue. Thanks so much for the giveaway!!
My favorite color is brown, and I just looove it mixed with pink. And that’s exactly how the wallet on the picture looks like.
Why I should be winner? I shouldn’t! Only if I am lucky, I’ll be happy to win.
Otherwise, I need a similar wallet because my different cards are all over my purse and handbags and I need them to be in one place.
Thank you for the chance to win. :)
Awesome giveaway. My favorite color is lavender. Thank you for the giveaway and please enter me!
Why I should win? Hmm… because I think it is really cute!!!! I love how it is a darker fabric on the outside because everything gets dirty in my purse! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
This is great. Count me in.
Great giveaway! Id love to have it!
I should win because my husband needs a business card holder so he won’t keep pulling them out of his wallet. His cards get kinda bent and it’s not very professional looking by pulling them out of his wallet.
I AM NOT YELLING BUT WANTED TO BE PERSUASIVE IN SAYING THAT I WOULD LOVE ONE OF THESE AND I SHOULD WIN B/C I AM A MOM WHO IS TEACHING RULES – IS FOLLOWING THE RULES – OCCASIONALLY ENJOYS BENDING THE RULES – AND EVEN MAKING A FEW RULES FOR MY WONDERFUL HUSBAND!! As for which one I love – I like brown and pink!!
I’m a missionary wife and mother in Costa Rica. This would be wonderful for my “business” card about the free craft classes I teach to women in extreme poverty and domestic violence situations.
Thanks and please count me in
I’d so love to win because these have sassitude (which is so me) and I’d love to use them for mommy cards which of course leads to me telling these mamas where I got the adorable card holder which hopefully leads them back to you. How’s that for a run on sentence of epic proportions? :) Oh and I love red. :)
Thanks for the chance to win! :)
I’d love to have this to put my misc cards in – like my debit card and such!! :) I could actually FIND it (them) – in the midst of (clean) diapers, wipes, baby snacks, toys – and whatever else lurks in my purse/diaper bag!! My fav color is lavender/purple! Thanks!

I would love to win because I have never had anything cute to carry my business cards in. This would be really nice for holding all my cards. Thanks for the great giveaway!!
I would love to win because I need a wallet just to carry mom things. My favorite color is yellow.
I would love to win this – I am constantly pulling out certain cards to stick in my pocket so I don’t have to worry about chasing around my daughter with a purse. If I could just pull this little beauty out that would be great.
I should be the winner because I love your stuff and could really use a new wallet. Please add me :)
That is really stunning – I love your work!
I think I should win because I would definitely use the bag. It’s adorable and very useful! I could use it for my coupons when I go shopping. I could use it to carry cash if I’m running errands. I could use it for business cards. I could give it to one of my daughters who I’m sure could find even more uses for it! Great prize. Thanks for letting me enter! jlazztoo at yahoo dot com
Could I ever use that card wallet b/c I have soo0o many cards that they all don’t fit into my wallet. What a lovely idea for a craft.

I love that! COunt me in!
My cards tend to be scattered all of my purse, this would be great to have somewhere to keep them!!
Count me in please!
Okay, so seriously…..it’s two minutes away from the end of your giveaway. So, I gotta act fast.
I love love LOVE the pink and brown – my favorite colors.
And, I could put my mommy cards in there. It would be perfect. One minute left. Pick me. :-)
