For months I’ve been holding a competition to reach 100 fans in order to get my unique Facebook Fan page url.  When I reached 100 fans I was to pick a random fan to receive a pair of my earrings. Well, it seems that Facebook lowered the number of fans needed back to 25, instead of 100.  It would have been nice if this was announced, but it wasn’t and I’m not even entirely sure when exactly the limit was lowered. Nonetheless,  I suppose now it’s time to pick a winner!   By the way my custom url is now http://www.facebook.com/balancedcrafts.

So without further ado, the winner by random selection is… fan No. 49.

I will be contacting you for your address. Congratulations on your win and I hope that you love your new earrings!

Also, a sincere thank you to every one of my fans for your encouraging words and support. You are truly appreciated.

Any time is a good time for a giveaway, yes?

Alright!

What will you be winning?

These simple, beautiful Dusk Earrings worth $18.00, handmade by myself.  They feature beautiful Grey Mother of Pearl ovals hanging from Hematite rings on handcrafted links and are attached to Gunmetal kidney earwires. They measure roughly 7cm (nearly 3 inches) long. And they could be yours absolutely FREE!

Now, instead of the ol’ leave a comment to enter, I thought I’d make it a little more interesting. You are to guess, how many bottle caps are in this jar?

The jar measures 5 inches tall by 3.5 inches.

This will be open for 1 week, the deadline being the 1st of May.  International residents are welcome! You can earn an extra entry by Twittering about this giveaway with your second guess and leaving an extra comment with your Twitter profile address for verification. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

To sum up…

°  Leave your guesstimate number, your name and your email address (so I may contact you if you win) in  a comment on this post.

°  Earn an extra entry by Twittering about the giveaway with your second guess (please leave an additional comment here).

°  The giveaway entry period runs from today April 24th through May 1st. No entries will be accepted after this date. Winner will be notified on May 2nd by email.

° Please make sure your email address is correct, and use an email address you check regularly. If you win, this is how I will contact you. If your email address bounces, or you do not respond within 72 hours, your prize will be immediately forfeited and a new winner will be selected.

° Obviously, the person who picks the number will be the winner, but if no one does then the closest number will win. Makes sense, no?

That’s it! Good luck!

Update: Don’t forget to include your second guess in your Tweet  for your second entry to count.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

UPDATE:: The competition is now closed! Many thanks and good luck to all who entered! I will announce the winner in tomorrows post. Stay tuned!
