Big Huge Giveaway - that's the BHG!

Have I lost my mind? 

I feel like one of those used car commercials - come on down to crazy Heather's and save, save, save.  Okay, maybe not that bad and certainly not desperate.  But I do have an abundance of beads that need to find new homes.  I'm in the process of a major studio purge and I have some huge bead bundles that I'm going to auction off next week, they are filled with amazing one-of-a-kind beads.  But this was a smaller set - and I thought, why not do something crazy like give it away.  So, that's what I'm doing.  Maybe my brain has melted from one too many days of 100 degree weather.

Some were experiments, some are discontinued items and others are just overstock.  They are wonderful!

So what do you need to do to enter? 

Leave a comment - tell me what your favorite Humblebead is - if you are new here, check out my Etsy shop and pick a favorite.  That is one entry - blog, facebook or twitter about the giveaway and you will be entered for each one that you do.  Leave a comment to let me know which ones you did.

So four chances to have this collection of beautiful beads heading your way!

And because I think my brain really has melted, I am having a sale until Sunday night at Midnight.  Save 20% off everything in my Etsy shop, excluding custom orders.  Use discount code TOOHOT when you are ready to check out.

I will draw one random winner on Tuesday.

Good luck with the giveaway - I have my fingers crossed for you!

    That was easy, picked 2 favs in your shop. Saw those little sea urchins earlier today and love them. And I've always loved the Van Gogh beads.

    Posted on my FB page which tweets it as well. THANKS!!

    Hi Kristi *waving*
    Unlike Kristi I did not find this task easy. Too much to love. So I finally narrowed it down to the Tiny Starfish Charms and the Van Gogh series.

    Pick one? Almost impossible! I did purchase a little mushroom necklace from your shop about a month ago and I am in love with it! I have nothing else like it and it is beautiful! Never thought I would get so excited over a mushroom! It is definitely a conversation piece! :)

    And, I love the monogram beads I bought from you as well! They are truly one of a kind!!

    Has to be the Van Gogh beads, they were the first "Humblebeads" I ever saw, which led me to Humblebeads blog and eventually the ABS.
    Van Gogh is one of my favourite artists, I just love the blues and yellows in the painting. My other favourites would be the beads and charms made from your drawings, specifically the starfish and dogflower beads.

    Wow what a treat, I took the time to view all of your lovely beads and I went back and forth between which one was my favorite. I love the naturally rustic clay look of your bead making style. It inspires so many ideas for ways to use them in my jewelry. So I finally settled on your "New Leaf Square Toggle Pendant Clasp" I love how the metal toggle looks up against the clay. I am also going to mention this on my facebook page and you will find it in my blog as well. I'm crossing all my fingers and toes at the chance of getting my beading fingers on some of your wonderful beads.

    My first fav bead was the van gogh. That was the first bead that I had ever seen. It was in a magazine article about a memory wire bracelet. I cut that out and after that the hunt began, I have a folder with every article and then of course I found your blog and I was hooked. It is part of my see whats on her site list! I think I was very impressed by what you do with color, for the first time I saw Polymer Clay being done as art, not cutesy stuff but real art. thank you humblebeads!

    What a fab giveaway -- would love a chance to win it!

    It's impossible to just choose one favourite, but the willow series is just so lovely so I'd say that one. With the fern pendant and woodlark pendant as runners-up.

    I left a comment earlier, but don't think it saved. I will try again...
    Selecting just one bead as my favorite has proved impossible as I like so many of them! My top two are the Summer Willow Square bead and the Birch Log (birch trees are my favorite).

    I posted a link to you giveaway on my blog:

    Easy! No problem! Went to your shop, saw a cool bird and said HEY! That's my favorite! Then i saw the squirrel, and the hedgehog, and the owl, and, and, and... Anyway I favorite-ed a bunch of beads, and then your shop, and then I added you to my circle. Then I checked my PayPal stash to see how much I had saved up. Only I'd just paid my ebay and etsy and auctiva feeds and bought silver, so nuthin'. But I'll be back. And I'm posting on FB. And I love your beads.
