Since this is Bloggy Giveaways Carnival week, and my giveaway is ongoing until Thursday night, I wanted to remind you all that you can still be a winner! I don’t know if that’s important to you or not, but I know I sure enjoy being a winner. First off, please enter my giveaway for a card wallet. Once you’ve done that, check out the more than 600 other giveaways going on this week that are connected to the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. And be sure to check out Chia’s giveaway for a beautiful photo album!

If you’re the kind of good-hearted person that likes to give back (but still likes to do a bit of receiving, too!) consider participating in the Handmade Pay It Forwards that TeeGee Studios, Flying Shoes, and April’s Flowers are hosting. They will send you a special handmade gift (and I sure do wish I could sign up for their PIFs myself!) if you promise to offer three new people a handmade pay it forward. I think it’s a wonderful way to receive a very special handmade gift and share your own handmade love with others. And I happen to know that TeeGee, Wendy, and April are all very talented artists.

Bloggy Giveaways

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.
