Gimme a Giveaway: Our Humble A{Bowe}d

Can you believe Christmas is just over two weeks away?  Due to the hustle and bustle the season brings, our scheduled giveaway partner had to back out this week.  Have no fear, we’re here (to fill in).  In the past few weeks, we’ve been working hard on two new shop items.  First, we added Love Heart.

And, shortly after Christmas, we’ll start a new year.  We’re helping you prepare with a Custom Silhouette Wall Calendar.  You send us pictures of you and your spouse, your kiddos, heck, even for furry friend, and we make a modern silhouette with calendar below.

You get to enjoy the calendar for a year, but when 2013 starts, cut the 8 by 10 inch silhouette design off to frame and enjoy for years to come.

The Goods: One 8 by 10 Love Heart print, customized with your color.

To Enter: Subscribe to follow Our Humble A{Bowe}d, if you’re not already.  To subscribe, click the “Sign Me Up!” button under “Be the first to know.”  Once you’ve subscribed, leave a comment, which can (but doesn’t have to) include our Just for Fun question.

Just for Fun: Tell us if you make New Year’s resolutions.  Have you kept your resolution?  What was it?

For additional entries:

1. Add Our Humble A{Bowe}d to your Etsy favs, come back and leave a comment telling us what your favorite item is.

2. Like Our Humble A{Bowe}d on Facebook, come back and leave another comment.

Contest Closes: Sunday, December 11th at 11:59 pm, central time.

Number of Winners: Five!

Ships: Anywhere in the U.S.

Other Info: We will select the winner using random.org and announce on Monday, December 12th.  Good luck!!

P.S. Because we’re swamped with work between now and Christmas, we’re limiting this giveaway to the weekend.  Check back on Monday to see if you’re one of the five winners!

P.P.S.  We’re guest posting at Hyphen Interiors today.  You can see all our kitchen progress in one post.  Yahoo!

    My new year resolution is always one that will positively affect the people around me. Give each child more individual attention, be more patient, etc.
    You are one of my etsy favs!

    I am already subscribed to your blog.

    Last year I made a resolution to try to avoid work drama. By separating myself from all that (hard at first) I think it had done wonders if proving more separation between my work and home life (i.e. less working from home after the baby has gone to bed).

    We have almost finished our study that has been done in a similar fashion as your study. We have some minor touch-ups to completion, expect we are going to do the same wall treatment in our dining room and currently have all the dining room furniture in the study.
