Christmas Giveaway!


I posted last week about the figurines and ornaments Bob carves.  He sold lots of them at the craft fair and is now selling them online as well.
I love giveaways and Bob agreed to donate one of the ornaments he made to the cause!  So, if you are interested in winning this hand carved Santa ornament for your tree, just leave me a comment.  Make sure you tell me a way to reach you if you are chosen.  I'll leave this open until Sunday night at 9, when I'll use the random number integrater to choose a winner.

  6. I showed Ryan the picture you posted the other day of his collection of carved santa's and Ryan just could not believe he carved them. He wondered how long it takes him to carve one, even before the painting. (And he paints them himself?)

    I want to enter! They are wonderful.

  31. Oh bummer, I was away too long! I missed the deadline to enter to win, but the Santa is awesome! Bob does a fantastic job with the carving. I was too busy with family events surrounding the homecoming/visit of our son from California, so I missed the craft fair, too. *sigh*

    But I'll have to go online and see if I can find Bob's santas there. Do you have a link?

    Here comes the storm!

  44. Who wouldn't LOVE to win one of Bob's ornaments?! :-) You don't mention if international readers can enter. If I won, I'd have you send it to my son and his wife anyway (they live in Indiana) rather than to me in Argentina. Just sayin' :-)
