To thank you for visiting the site and taking a look inside, I'm giving away a set of beads (valued at over $75). The best part is that you get to pick your color. Just let us know if you want them as they are ... or possibly in pink, red, dark green, a robin's egg blue, black, navy ... you name it, we'll make it!
Here's what you have to do ... visit Amazon (just click on the link above), take a "Look Inside", click on the "Liked" button, post the contest on your blog and become a follower ... if you aren't already. :-) But don't forget to come back here and leave a comment on my blog so I can enter you in the drawing. We'll be announcing the winner next Tuesday at this time!
I love giving gifts ... and thank you in advance for helping me to get the word out about my book. :-)

I will love to win these! I really like enameled filigree beads. So I followed your instructions and posted on my blog here: http://normasclay.blogspot.com/2011/05/giveaway-at-barbara-lewis-blog-sorteo.html
I liked it! Also, you are giving so so so many pages to preview on Amazon, very generous! I can't wait to get my book!
Your book is on my wish list. Thanks for the preview,
I'm in Barbara!
1. I looked inside your book at Amazon.
2. I clicked "like" (I even had to open an account to be able to do that...).
3. I blogged about your give-away:

The book looks amazing!!!! I don't think I can hold back much longer now. Me and my friend Christina have been talking about doing your course since last summer. I think we have to put it in our calendars in order to get it done. Sooon!
Thanks for an amazing give away Barbara! And don't forget, IF I win, your beautiful beads will end up sitting on a cool person walking the streets of Stockholm ... (or something like that ...) ;-)
Thank you so much, ladies! I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate it! You can have the best laid plans to write a book, but if no one reads it ... well, you get the idea. Thank you for helping me!
What lovely beads. If I won I'd like them in aqua blue. Crossing my fingers.
I've got that book on my list of things to buy when I get a little cash ahead.
And by the way, I'm a follower of your blog.
I posted this giveaway in the sidebar of the blog.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Thank you, Alice. :-)
Barbara! I'm so excited about the LOOK INSIDE feature. And I think your beads are fabulous. Of course, I'm already a follower of your blog, and I just did a post on mine to promote your new book and the art bead giveaway!
I am sold! I "liked" it on amazon...wow, did I ever like it! Cannot wait to get it! I will do a post on it tonight for you on my blog!
Awesome!! I love this feature that amazone provides, and am so psyched to finally get a little glimspe. Not only are your beads gorgeous, but your jewelry designs really showcase them! Definitely going to have to have this one! I blogged the giveaway, and twittered the book, and facebooked the book too. :)
Hi Barbra, I would love to win these beads! I have had your book on order since it was up for presale, and can not wait to get it! I will blog about your give away

I wish I had the outdoor/garagey workspace to do that. Looking through your book was such a tease! It looks like so much fun, but I'm the kind to burn the place down.
I forgot to mention, I'm following and I Liked!
OK, I'm in!! I liked the book on Amazon, and truthfully, I'm thinking about pre-ordering it!

I wish you mountains of success!!!

Hi Barbara, I went on the Amazon site & Liked your book. But I don't have a blog! Can I still be included in the give-away!?! I am so excited to start enameling
your way, rather than using the kiln. That is a long process. I'm a member of www.paintingwithfire.ning.com.
I am so touched by your generous spirits! You can absolutely play along if you don't have a blog. Just make sure I have your email address so if you win I can give you the good news!
I love your beads and have some in my pieces. I also don't have a blog, but would love to try and win some more of your works.

I so can't wait to see this book in person! It's def. on my "To Buy" list. I'm a follower, "liked" the book on Amazon, and will be blogging about the giveaway most likely tomorrow! :) Congratulations and thank you for offering such a grand giveaway!
the book looks awesome! I liked it on amazon, and am following your blog!
Book looks awesome, I am looking forward to its release, I pressed the like button. I am a follower also.
Blogger has locked me out for the past few days so I couldn't visit until today to say "Thanks!"
Hi, Barbara: I've done all of the above!! Your book is beautiful! I love the pieces on the cover! Congratulations and best wishes to you!!
Wow -- lots of competition for these beads -- and no wonder! They're gorgeous. I like them as they are but my current fave is a cobalt blue.
Um, I don't have a blog yet. But I did go and take a look at your book on amazon -- and hit the like button (not 'cause you told me to; just 'cause I liked it!). I'm sorry I can't spread the word through a blog right this moment as it is only in the early planning stage... I hope that doesn't disqualify me from the contest. :(
Done, and done, and done!
Here's the link to my post: http://godsartistinresidence.blogspot.com/2011/05/bead-give-away.html
Yes, I want the beads!!! But even more than the beads, I WANT the book. I love filigree beads, and would love to learn how to make them.
O.k., I did everything required to be entered. Here is the link to my blog post:

I wouldn't mind winning the beads, but what I really want is your book - can't wait to get a copy! Congrats, I know it will be immensely popular!!
For some reason, the blog is not letting me follow you? Don't know why... Maybe so many people are excited aboutt he give-away that it's too busy.
I'll try again a little later and see if the program will cooperate.
Thank you!
I checked out the book and I can't wait to get a copy! I also am a follower of your blog.
So beautiful! I spread the news on my blog:) Thanks for this great contest!

Already a follower, so, I liked your book on Amazon, and I posted your giveaway on my blog.
I had get in on a chance to win this set of beauties!!!
And, I can't wait till your book is released - OH, the agony!!!
Your book looks amazing! And the beads...they are fabulous! And of course I follow your blog (although I rarely comment)
Thanks!
Hi, Barbara - I've looked at the book several times on Amazon - it looks terrific!
I don't know where the "Like" button is, though - I've never seen it, though I've had an Amazon account for many years - where should I look for it?
I did "Like" it on the Painting with Fire ning group, though, and I'd love to win these beautiful beads!
Thanks SO much for this giveaway!
LOVE those beads and the new book! I put the book on my wish list and blogged about your giveaway on my blog: http://www.crookedcreekstudio.com/?p=422
I've bought several beads but have yet to make anything with them. Your beads are beautiful, nothing like I have. They would be beautiful on each side of a piece on a necklace. I could see me making that as I love necklaces better than bracelets!! A friend posted about your site and she's so talented, too. I mainly do cross-stitch and some painting.
Loved checking out pages in the book. Cant wait until it is released to try out the projects and learn more. Hope you have some "advanced" classes in the Southern Maryland/Dc area in the near future!
That book is on my wishlist!
Would love a chance to win a handful on enameled beads. I've liked the book, am already a follower and I just blogged about the giveway here: http://labellajoya.blogspot.com/2011/05/big-giveaway.html
Well, it looks like you have pulled me in ! I am thinking I am going to have to sign up for your class in Philly !
Will you have the book while there?
My Blog is http://coconutbead.blogspot.com/
I will post a link on my blog now.
Hi Barbara, I almost missed this one. I need to pay close attention. As I said earlier, the book is fantabulous darlin'.
I am so new at this....but I love this concept and will pick up the book....I went to amazon and liked but I don't have a blog yet...Suzanne Edwards...fb and sweetsuetu@gmail.com
