And the Winners Are...

I called my "random number generator" (a.k.a. my next door neighbor when my husband didn't pick up the phone) while he was out on the golf course, and he picked:

1) First Prize of one of my hand-thrown jack-o'-lanterns goes to: Morphine!

2) Second Prize of a $15 gift card to Crazy Dog t-shirts goes to: Knock Knock Street!

3) Third Prize of the 25% discount in my ShellHawk's Creations Etsy Store goes to: adastra!

4) Fourth Prize of a Halloween Pack of candles from Dark Candles goes to: Joseph Giles!

Congratulations to all the winners! Please contact me by email by Monday night or your prize will be re-awarded. shellhawksnest (a t) ya hoo dawt calm

Giveaway Reminder!

I just wanted to remind you that I do the drawing for my giveaway on Friday! Check here for all the details.

One of the prizes is a $15.00 gift card for Crazy Dog T-Shirts, a nice place to shop for those little "in-joke" t's. For instance, I just got these:

For those who don't know, Weyland-Yutani is "The Company" in Alien,
and Haddonfield High is from John Carpenter's Halloween.

They are so soft! I know that when I head up to Abel's Apple Acres for the Fall/Christmas season, I'll be wearing these. I can't wait for another horror dork to walk up and compliment me on these clever t-shirts! I still have my Sleepy Hollow Polo Association t-shirt, and it has weathered numerous washings very well!

As you know, I'm also giving away a jack-o'-lantern of my own making, and there have been quite a number of them coming out of my kiln!

Sorry, this one is a custom piece for a friend, so I
can't sell it...

So, if you want to get into the pot, please go back to the original post and post your comment there. I'm also giving away a 25% off coupon for my shop which will be valid until September 1. I promise I'll be putting some of my Hallowe'en things in the shop by then...

Good luck!

At Last, the 260th Follower Giveaway!

I was rolling around the whole giveaway thing in my mind and thought a combination giveaway would be a fun idea. That means there are three prizes, not just one, to have the chance to win!

First prize will be my choice of one my jack-o'-lanterns, second prize will be a $15 gift card for Crazy Dog T-shirts (though you can't have won anything from them in the past 90 days, or own a review/giveaway blog of your own), third prize will be a 25% discount coupon for anything in my ShellHawk's Creations Etsy store for a specific window of time to be decided later. (I NEVER give that kind of discount! EVER!)
UPDATE: I decided to add a candle pack collection from Dark Candles-either the Halloween limited edition or the Halloween pack. I'll figure it out later... But that will be the fourth prize.

So here's how to join in the fun:

1. Leave a comment on this post.

2. Become a new follower and let me know you became one. Since a few folks did join specifically to get this giveaway going, I'll include folks who have become followers since July 1 if they'll leave me a comment on this post letting me know they're interested and the approximate date they joined.

3. Follow me on Twitter. (Leave a comment to tell me.)

Busy Little Bee

While I think up the giveaway contest, I've been slaving in my 104° studio. Here are a few of the things on which I was working over the weekend.

 Today I have a 15" serving platter to trim and a bunch of other stuff to do! 


Now, back to thinking up a contest... I'll let you know this week!
