Have you visited Allison Strine Designs over at Etsy? No? Oh my, you are in for a treat!

Allison will tell you herself that she makes Whimsical art that speaks to your heart! Indeed, she does. I purchased one of her pieces, and then a couple for Christmas presents for my kids’ teachers this year. I’m always clicking through her shop to see what new things she has up. Eye candy, I tell ya.

But this isn’t about me…THIS IS ABOUT YOU! Yes, YOU! And what you can WIN just by doing a very kind and gentle thing.

But first, let’s look at one of her fancy dancy, silly-nilly, funny, and down-to-earth designs. This is “Her Tiara Can Get a Little Itchy“.

Bwahahahaha! Yea, mine too. I’ve got that problem ALL the time; what with all those jewels dripping off it. That’s why I don’t wear it, y’know? This queen just can’t deal with the itch. It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t serve me coffee and chocolate daily or rush to meet my every need. I just need a break from all that weight - jewels are soooooo heavy and all.

Oh, and see…the back. This is a two-sided pendant. It doesn’t mean that if you wear it you’re two-faced; I swear. It is NOT a reflection on you, the wearer (or me, the wearee??). ANYWAY…it’s like getting two pendants for the price of one…except y’know, this one just might be free.

IF you win.
Um, okay…moving on.

Did I mention she sells magnets too? This one sorta nailed me after my coffee and chocolate comment.

NOT THAT I DON’T STILL WANT COFFEE AND CHOCOLATE.

In case you were wondering.

I do.

Anyway, I’m a lovebird and all. Spreading love to the masses. And I’m gonna spread some love here now.

THIS IS HOW YOU PLAY

Please follow these directions very carefully. Failing to follow these directions very carefully could be a cause for alarm. It wouldn’t be my alarm, because I haven’t replaced the batteries in two years, but someone…SOMEONE will be alarmed; we don’t want any alarmists here. So, just y’know - follow the directions for crying out loud.

• This time you must have a blog to play. I know, don’t hate me, but no exceptions.
• By midnight (CST) on February 8th, you must spread some love yourself. I want you to write a loving, uplifting, encouraging, generous, complimentary post about one, two, three, four, or however many you like, of your favorite bloggers.

  Put some thought in it - not just a blogroll, m’kay? Let your adoration ring! Pssst…No extra points for it being me - this is a drawing, not a contest.

• Link back to me so others can participate.
• Come back and put the link to your blog entry in the comments on this thread.
• There will be TWO lucky winners this time. Yep, TWO.

WHAT DO YOU WIN?

Anything of $40.00 value or less in Allison’s Etsy Shop. Cool? I know, right?

So, um…why are you still here?

Get your fingers keying people! GO!

   I’ve shared some blog love and while doing so I’ve decided that over the next few weeks I’m going to expand. I’ve started with a few of my favorites but it isn’t to say that I love these more than I do any of the others that I read … No,in fact, this is only the beginning!! I’ve also checked out Allison’s Etsy Shop and know exactly what I want!

8. Mr. OMSH

   Man I wish I could enter. I am still waiting for my designer to complete my blog. I am so impatient!

   Is it sexual harassment if a man spreads virtual love to female bloggers? Am I committing adultery? Would you, OMSH, forgive me? I’ve never thought about it. Perhaps I should pull the plug on blogging until my ethical consultant can investigate this concern.

9. Nicole

   That shop DOES look awesome!
   I really do need to check etsy out again.
   They seem to have come a long way since I last checked.

   Love your Layout for your blog too :)!

    I am going to have to sit this one out. I haven’t been able to sit longer than 30 minutes, let alone see half of my favorite blogs since falling last weekend and getting a hairline fracture in my pelvis. Sorry OMSH! They are cute though.

13. Chef

    I think that I have fulfilled the terms of the contest. Enjoy…

    Oh my stinkin GOSH, Heather! You make everything look so stinkin GOOD! Can I play - I want to enter too! And Shannon, a broken pelvis is no excuse for not entering. Howevah, there are no boys allowed. Sorry, Mr. Stinkin!

    Oh this was a great idea. I needed this today. And I visited her shop. There are things I need there too.

27. Mr. OMSH

    Dear Ms. Allison Strine,

    How did you know my ’secret’ nickname–Mr. Stinkin’? Have you been IM’ing OMSH?

    I can’t recall reading the rules on the giveaway that allowed sexual and gender discrimination. Perhaps the rules may change after you and my attorney have a conversation.

    And besides, how do you know what I had planned to do with your product? I was wanting to promote you and your site on Good Morning America, Oprah, The View, Living with Martha Stewart, and a spot on HGtv. ‘Cuz you know, prison psychologists have all sorts of connections. Never mind now, since I’m excluded…

28. OMSH

    First, oh my goodness - I just cleaned out my subscriptions and now? NOW I’m loading them back up again and I haven’t even caught up.

    But…um…don’t stop.
    Please.
    Pretty please.

    1 HOUR and 51 MINUTES to go.

    Oh, and don’t mind Mr. OMSH up there - he’s harmless.
