Egyptian Flag Ball Giveaway

Inspired by Sina’s pride in Egypt and a general feeling that one should be more positive and proactive I have decided to have this giveaway.

I first made these a while back.  They are available for purchase here.

Back to the giveaway  for a chance to win one all you have to do is leave a comment and tell me why you are proud of Egypt.

For an extra (optional) chance you can become a fan of Chocolate Mints in a Jar on facebook.

The giveaway ends Friday June the 18th at midnight Egyptian Time.

Giveaway: Makeup Bag

Crochet Make Up Bag

**Update**  You don’t have to use it as a make up bag you know.

I had some of that beautiful blue cotton which I used to make my tote with and I felt sad I had no use for it.  So I decided to make a make-up bag.  It is a small project which took a couple of hours from start to finish.  I am sort of obsessive when I am making stuff.  I can’t really stuff.  I totally do not need a make up bag right now because  I can’t seem to remember to wear any and I already have several already.  I would really love one of you to have it.  Seriously, I decided in the early phases of making it, that it would be a gift, I just couldn’t decide who.  So if you like it and want a shot at winning it, just leave a comment below telling me what item is always in your makeup bag and why you love it so much.  I’ll close comments next Thursday (4 February 2010) and draw a winner after that.  I will mail it to whomever wins so I will need an address from the winner later on.  The pretty fabric in the background with the butterflies, birds and weird looking flowers is the same as the lining.  There is a little flower with a mother of pearl button too.  I tried my best to get a decent picture because it really is so much prettier in real life.

P.S.  I have been thinking about having a monthly giveaway for quite a while now, I just never could think of nice prizes.  I don’t think I can afford huge expensive items like an 21 inch TV or something, but I really would love this to take off, so if you think you know anyone who might be interested send them a link.  If this one takes off, then I am definitely having more in the future.

P.P.S  Isn’t that fabric just gorgeous?

P.P.P.S  I am a really boring make up girl, it is either black, dark brown or nude.  I just realized that now.
