Random Act of Kindness Giveaway

 


 To be entered in this giveaway drawing, you need to do 2 things: 
Leave a comment on this post, and do something nice for someone. The world needs more kindness. ♥

The prize package includes:

a rare out-of-print book Minitats by Patti Duff, 

a Japanese tatting pattern book (containing diagrams and excellent photographs),

a tatted necklace and earring set (handmade by me) in my own "Loopy" pattern,

a bobbin lace bookmark (handmade by me) in a pattern by GaliciaBee,

an assortment of my own hand dyed thread!

Readers of this blog from outside of the U.S.A. are welcome to enter this giveaway - but - be aware that even though I'll mark the package as gift, sometimes customs fees may still be charged, unfortunately. (It has happened before.)

I'll chose one winner at random on Monday, October 14. Please be sure there's a way for me to contact you if you win, either a blog I.D. or an email address. And, don't forget to do something nice for someone!

(wow, I wasn't sure my blogspot account still existed!)

I am here to comment! :3 and I promise I've done a thing I sure hope is kind --

I'm easier to reach via email (khuriya at gmail dot com), or I'm on the fediverse at @taichara@chirp.enworld.org

This is also a very kind thing that you're doing :3

Count me in as well! I try to practice random acts of kindness on a daily basis - it's good for ALL!

Please count me in on your drawing. I try to do at least ONE thing that's kind every day, but today I will make sure to do something kind for two people. (I'll send an anonymous gift to a college student we know who is at school in another state as the 'second' kind thing for today. College kids can always use snacks, school supplies, other things, and - especially - money.)

I certainly try to do something nice everyday, at least one thing. Admittedly, sometimes it's a little thing (random compliment, a timely warning that the public bathroom is out of toilet paper), but anything that improves someone's day or makes it a little easier to get through.

I admire this so much. Encouraging kindness is wonderful. There are so many beautiful things in your giveaway and the copy of Mini-Tats is especially generous. Please do not include me in the drawing (since I want it to go to someone who doesn't already have a copy), but I wanted to express my appreciation.

Melissa said...

I would love to be considered for this gift. I try to do at least 1 random act of kindness each week! mepace2002@yahoo.com

Please consider me for the gift. I love my copy of Minitats. I would love to be able to add your copy to my growing lending library of tatting books and DVDs (LLT).
Each evening I journal 3 wins for the day. At least one must be something I did for someone else (hopefully kind). I sleep much better having been kind.

Angie K said...

Count me in! This is awesome. You are very kind! I'm a little shut in caring gor my hubby at the moment, but I can still do nice things for others... cards, emails, and texts just to say 'I'm thinking of you' always mean so much. Thanks for the inspiration!!
