And the winner is....

Today is the happy announcement for the winner of Speckled Frog Crochet Pattern Giveaway
I received a total of 6 comments for the giveaway, and since the last person had the 2 last posts, I used a random number generator and stablished the limits 1-5. Hope that makes sense. What I mean is that the last person only got one entry for the giveaway with her first comment.

Soooooooooo, the Lucky Winner is:::::

¡¡¡Yarner!!!

Congratulations!!!
I'm off to send your email address to Speckled Frog, along with the pattern you picked so she can email it to you!

Thank you to everyone that participated in this giveaway!! it was fun!

***************
In my previous post, where I was confused that so many people had read the giveaway post but so few commented to enter, I had some comments telling me that the steps that needed to be completed to enter the giveaway where long and confusing. And I'm pretty sure that a lot more people felt that way, even when they didn't leave a comment.
I'm really sorry that was the case and I wanted to make a note on that. The only step I put for the giveaway was the first one, in which I asked you to friend my blog (which I regret because it really conflicts me as I think a person should friend and follow your blog because they want to and they find what you share in it interesting, and not because you ask them to follow you as a condition for something you are going to giveaway... after all, a giveaway is something from the heart, isn't it?)


The rest of the steps came to me as they where by the owner of the giveaway... since this time I was only a host for it, I wasn't able to change the rules.


I'm sorry that those of you that regularly follow my blog felt this was tedious and not fun... that was never my goal!!!

Until next time!!

Speckled Frog Crochet Giveaway!

I found myself a little bit confused.

Blogger has a function that lets you know how many people had seen your posts and when, from which country they are and all kind of fun things...
Well, it says that 85 people have seen my last post for the Crochet Pattern Giveaway from Speckled Frog... And I am just seeing 4 comments...

I don't think that every person of those 85 left a comment, but I would've thought that this giveaway would get more than 4 comments. It's not like I'm having a giveaway in rocket science... it's crochet! which I talk about all the time... and blog comunity likes giveaways, or at least that is my impresion.

I'm also confused because I stoped by SF facebook page a while ago, and she had comments from several people saying that I had sent them, which was the second step to enter the giveaway, but then I don't have their comments on my blog... and there's also some people that left a comment without leaving an e-mail address... there's even an annonymus comment!!

I think Speckled Frog patterns are really cute... I feel bad and sad of being offered to host a giveaway for her that is not being very succesful...

Good luck to all of you that entered!!! 2 more days!!!

See you soon!

Giveaway!!!

Hello guys!!!

I hope this post will bring me back to blogland... I'm still without a camera... I wanted to buy a new memory card on the weekend, but the thing was that my camera is a bit old, and we couldn't find a card that fits it... so still no memory card.
Today, however, I got MG to lent me his camera, so I'll take all the necesary pictures in a while...

For now I just want to tell you that I've decided what will be my giveaway!!!
I'm just setting up my new Etsy shop, which I'll share with you all the minute it's ready!
So what a better thing to give away than something that could be perfectly in my new store!!!

Here it is:

A beautiful pair of earrings, handmade by me... :o)
It's all made with Sterling Silver, and the beads are red quartz.

So if you like to enter, you have to be a follower of the blog, because this giveaway is a gift to you, to all the lovely friends I have found here and have made my experience blogging so amazing... because I enjoy so much each time I read a comment and I feel so happy knowing that somewhere, someone is willing to happily read whatever I have to say... thanks, a million thanks for be on the other side on your computer, and for joining me in this adventure.

Leave a comment before Friday March 5th to enter... and I'll draw a name during the weekend!!

Hope to see you really soon!
