Twitter Winner!

Ooops. I was meant to announce the Twitter Giveaway winner last night, but... well I've been a little distracted by The Killing and the Craft Fair and somehow forgot about it. Sorry! But anyway, I won't keep you in suspense any longer - it's time to tell you who won the giveaway.

I have an incredibly technical system going on here at Creating Trouble, using all the latest technology available... it's called Pen & Paper and involved me writing a slip for every entrant...

...and then using the other incredibly technical method of choosing a slip of paper. Actually I got my lovely flatmate to do that particular part so that there was an independent adjudicator. And here is the winner:

Congratulations Linn of @LinniRsbooks whose name was drawn out of the box - send me a DM with your address and I will get your lovely new pink Bunny Bag in the post for you. 

Thank you everyone who entered, re-tweeted, followed and went to my Facebook page - I really appreciate all of your support! And now I'm looking forward to the next milestone... 200 blog followers and I'll be holding the next giveaway... !

Twitter Giveaway

Well, well... I said I would hold another giveaway when I reached 1,000 followers on twitter and... well I'm hosting another giveaway so I guess I must have 1,000 followers!

I had a bit of a dilemma about this giveaway as I wasn't really sure what to give away. But I have realised that the bestseller in my Etsy shop are my bunny bags, so despite having had a bunny-bag giveaway once before, I am going to give those who didn't win last time the opportunity to win a brand new bunny bag! This time it's a pink one...

So, if you would like to own a pink bunny bag here is what you need to do...

1) As this is a twitter giveaway, you need to be a follower of create_trouble  All you need to do is leave a comment on this blog with your twitter name.

2) For an extra entry though... tweet about this giveaway - make sure you reference create_trouble so that I know though!

3) For additional entries (one for each) you can: like my facebook page and/ or start following this blog. Be sure to leave a comment for each additional entry though.

I will count up all the entries, get an independent person to pick one and announce a winner on 19th March.

 Good Luck!

Blogger Winner!!

Well a little later than I previously hoped, I have finally got around to the results of the blog giveaway. In case you have forgotten, the prize is a fabulous blue lotsa bunnies tote bag and you can see it here. Anyway, as I am not a very technical bunny my method of finding a winner is the old-fashioned write everyone's names down and pick them out of a hat... or in this case a bowl. Are you excited yet? Shall I reveal who won?

All the names were put into a bowl - in today's case it was our ultra heavy mortar... hmmm wonder where the pestle has got to?

I put my hand in, closed my eyes and picked out a piece of paper which for some reason I felt the need to put on the floor beside the bowl and take a photo of before I opened it...

But then of course I did open it... and the lucky winner is:

Congratulations Shannon! 

A bunny bag will be hopping its way over to you just as soon as you have sent me an e-mail with your address on it. I hope you like it! 

For those of you who didn't get the bunny bag - bunny bags are available in my Etsy store and I'm sure I'll be doing another giveaway at some point in the near enough future. What should the next goal be? 500 facebook followers? 1000 tweeps? 200 GFC followers? hmmmm - what do you think? 

A flurry of a weekend with Etsy

Hurray! This weekend was another Etsy BNR by the British Sellers on Etsy Team. I curated twice for this one as I enjoyed curating last time and, being still fairly house-bound, didn't have much else to do. As I'd volunteered to curate fairly early on, I was featured in the initial line up which was great and I did say to myself I wasn't going to go mad and buy lots of things... 

I was bought out on Friday night when someone bought a bunny bag from me, and in total I made 4 sales in the BNR - a pink and a blue bunny bag, a wedding card and my green and blue mosaic pendant all went over the course of the weekend. My etsy store is now looking quite empty! 

 As always it was a great weekend and I really enjoyed chatting to fellow Etsians and browsing through their shops. Of course I bought back in (how else did I get so many sales?) Want to see some of the goodies that I'm looking forward to receiving? Well you get to see them anyway!

Love Altered Eras's steampunk hair clips - and she's making special ones for me! Yay!

House of Hampton are throwing in an extra set of Wine Charms for me as one of the special offers. Thank you! 

How gorgeous is this seaglass necklace by RainbowsOnTheBeach? Love!

Thought I would post photos of what I sold as well - just in case you've all forgotten what kind of things are available in my Etsy store...!
