20: shameless bribery

That's pretty much what this is...

See, I'm hoping you'll think that at any given moment I could bust out with a wicked awesome giveaway like this.

And I could.

You'll have to keep reading and see.

Ha. Of course you might be thinking "It's not all that. What's she fussin' about?" Well, then fine. Don't enter. Leave more chances for someone else...they won't mind.

Anyway, let me tell you what we've got here:

1 scrappy summer belt as seen in my tutorial (or if you don't happen to be in my general size range, I'll make you a custom one)
2 zippered pouches (one is a good pencil case size, the other more of a change purse)

4 half-yard cut pairs (each is 2 coordinating prints, 1/2 yard each)
12 "little bits" of fabric (approx. 9"x11" pieces)

1 pair of barrettes and 1 pair of ponytail holder for girls or grownups...made with my new yo-yo makers.

And it all comes in a super-simple drawstring pouch...

Now for how to enter:
Leave a comment on this post and tell me your 3 favorite colors. And no, green, red, blue, etc...get more specific. Mine right now are chartreuse, chocolate brown, and a light greyish turquoise I'd call "mist".

If I get what I deem to be "a lot" of entries, I might even send out some runner-up prizes. So tell your friends. But you can only enter once...

You have until midnight friday Aug 22 to enter and I'll pick the winner shortly after that. Then you'll have to give me a little bit until I send it out because I'll be out of town for a few days.

Good luck everyone!

JT
**EDIT - I should note I intend to pick the winner(s) from a hat randomly...

Nice giveaway. I found your blog this early morning as I was reading my bloglines while feeding the baby. Favorite colors? Apple green, chocolate brown, and bubblegum pink. I did a little bribing myself today, but it involved fruit snacks and my 2 older children. ;)

Hi. Just happened upon your blog for the first time. I love the colors you've used for the scrappy belt. My fav colors are: definitely the chocolate brown, and to go with it, I've been obsessing with burnt orange. I also like steel blue! Thanks for the scrappy belt tutorial!

[Celle]

My favorite colours are Cyan blue, Magenta and a rich Charcoal Grey.

I love the belt! Wicked adorable!

love the belt tutorial! i can't wait to try it!

[Helly]

ohhh... lessee. Pistachio green. That colour makes me so happy it should be illegal. And it has to be *exactly* the right shade, you know? Uhm.... slightly antiqued baby blue. Hard to describe, but I sure know it when I see it. And chocolate brown.... poured all over the top of it like a .... oh man, I gotta go get something to eat.

[Stephanie]

Oh! I would jump up and down if I won all those goodies! Favorite colors....pear green, turqoise, and a pumpkiny orange.

How shameless of me to use this opportunity to come out of lurk mode!(Great giveaway, btw)

Since I seem to have trouble naming colours, but know perfectly well what I like, I'll let Wikipedia help me a bit.
A rich, darker shade of red, more or less like this Venetian Red[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venetian_red ];a very, very light & desaturated blue; and finally,a soft golden colour, Pear. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pear_(color) ]

Just found your blog and love it! My favorite colors to sew with are chocolate brown and turquoise. My all time favorite color is brick red.

First of all, the pony tail holders are waaaay cute, and I love that grey and aqua fabric set!

My favorite colors are: a deep, dark teal, more blue than green.

Cranberry red.

Lately, a dark orange, maybe it would be described as a burnt orange.

pick me! I love that belt! My favorite colors are bright pink, chocolate brown, aqua blue.

Well, since I was itsy bitsy and coloring with Crayola Crayons, cerulean has been at the top of my list. Recently, since becoming a brunette (from blonde), I have been loving wearing green...not just plain ole green. I'll liken it to peridot green. Finally, I am living in India right now, and orange is the auspicious color. So I see a lot of it, and even though I am a Georgia Bulldog (and thereby hate orange), it's starting to grow on me.

Bribery will get you everywhere... Congratulations on the Craftzine (http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2008/08/how_to_scrappy_belt.html?CMP=OTC-5JF307375954) blog entry on your scrappy belt!

Let's see... Favorite colors... There are just so many to choose from: Celadon, like the glaze for pottery a nice jade-like green. It's blue and amber counterparts in the ceramic world are nice too. (See the inner parts of the sinks at this site: http://www.waterstonesink.com/htm/tiletop/tiletop%20blucela.htm) But my ultimate color is, drum roll please, Amethyst. That nice blueish more than red purple. It also happens to be my birthstone ;)

The belts are so cute! My favorite colors are robin's egg blue, apple green, and sunshine yellow!

[Sequana]

Lime, bubblegum and latte. How's that? *S*
