October 25, Sharilyn Miller, www.sharilynmiller.blogspot.comTo thank you for following along, we will have a BONUS PRIZE at the end of the book tour! All of the entries will be included in the drawing for a kit containing all the elements of "Floral Cascade," one of the projects in the book. You'll receive everything you need to make the necklace, including the chain, jump rings, clasp, enamel beads, and head pins!
But that's not all! Really? Seriously? Seriously.
For a chance to win the Grand Prize - a Torch-Firing Kit (or $110 shopping experience atwww.paintingwithfireartwear.com) - please leave a review at Amazon.com by November 24. Remember, leave an honest review... the book must stand on its own.
Thanks for playing along! This is going to be a lot of fun!
P.S. Unfortunately, we have to restrict the giveaways to U.S. residents. Winners should contact me with their name and address through my author website: www.torchfiredenameljewelry.com so that you can receive your prizes!
I own your book and love it. I have made a couple of the designs and got inspiration from others. I am going to reserve a seat with you for the Bead Fest in King of Prussia, PA in April. I think I need a lesson before my purchase. Ruth C
ReplyDeleteI love Erin's blog and posts. Can't wait to read what she has to say. And a signed book by you would be great. Plus her earrings are so cute. I'm a follower.
ReplyDeleteI just came from Erin's blog. I'm not surprised to see she had an excellent post for the tour. A 'word smith' she is for sure!
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat, and some great eye candy too!
I really enjoyed Erin's blog post this morning. The whole tour has been very exciting and fun! I really want to learn this process and I'm hoping that Santa will bring me one of your kits!
ReplyDeleteErin's review is wonderful! She truly is a "wordsmith"!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm thrilled she's on the tour. I love reading her posts, she writes so beautifully. And as much as I love her awesome jewelry, I'm drooling over the chance to win a signed copy!
ReplyDeleteErin's review of your book is wonderful. She really did a thorough job of covering all the beautiful aspects of your book. I love her work and I knew the designs that she included would be lovely as well.
ReplyDeleteI indicated that I had your book on Erin's blog comments, but it isn't a signed copy. If I don't happen to win that prize now, I hope you will sign my copy at Bead & Button. I am making my plans to be there.
Loving the book tour. I am still holding out hope for the grand prize :-)
ReplyDeleteYour new book is on its way to me from Amazon. I was able to order it last night and I can't wait to dive in. I purchased your enamel kit from you in Tucson last year and hope I will now have time to use it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you teach again in Tucson this year so I can take a class!
Oh, man! Seriously, I drool every time I see these give-aways. It's getting so I have to put on a bib before I browse! AND a signed book?!? Maaan!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Erin's review of your book! She expressed my thoughts so much better than I ever could.
