Thanks to you and the others for making me smile. I miss these silly conversations. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Linda-K<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/2010-11\/15-polymer-clay-tutor-bead-give-away-prize-2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Polymer Clay Bead Tutor Giveaway Prize #3\" hspace=\"0\" width=\"255\" height=\"1170\" align=\"left\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Now before I announce today&#8217;s grand prize winner, let&#8217;s do a quick re-cap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>&gt;&gt; <\/strong><\/span>If you do not remember, it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/polymer-clay-bead-giveaway-winner-lupe-meter\/8687\/\">Lupe-M<\/a> that won the first Bead Giveaway <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/polymer-clay-bead-giveaway-step-1-submit-photos\/7816\/#prizephoto\">Prize Package<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>&gt;&gt; <\/strong><\/span>Then Carolyn-F received the honors in Round Two.

Congratulations Brenda!!!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul> <\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I&#8217;m not at all surprised that it was one of Brenda&#8217;s entry numbers that was drawn. With all the photos she uploaded to Facebook, along with all the postings she did at her own blog, her odds of winning were quite high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">And knowing how prolific Brenda is with her jewelry making projects, I think we can all count on her to put these prize beads to good use. Can&#8217;t wait to see what she makes with them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">OK&#8230; moving on. I know one question that will undoubtedly come up is, <em>&#8220;&#8230;will there be a Round 4 Giveaway Contest?&#8221;<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Well I can say for sure that there will be! I haven&#8217;t had time to plan out all the details yet. But one thing I do know, is that it will still involve you guys posting your project pictures on Facebook. So keep them coming!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">By the way, when you post your pictures on Facebook, don&#8217;t worry so much about linking back to pages here at my blog. I know that some of you found that part of the contest to be a bit confusing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The most important thing is that everyone is actually applying the lessons you are learning in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beadvideos.com\/back-issues\/\" class=\"external external_icon\" target=\"_blank\">weekly video tutorials<\/a> &#8230; and that you are sharing your photos to help inspire others to follow in your creative footsteps. This process of actually doing these things is such a valuable part of your polymer clay learning experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">One thing I&#8217;d like to find out from you guys, is whether or not I should be setting up other photo sharing groups on other sites besides Facebook&#8230; like Flickr, Picassa, Photobucket, or ???. Would this help to encourage more of you to share your photos? Please let me know in the comments section below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>PS to Brenda-M and Elizabeth-S: <\/strong><\/span>I&#8217;ve got mailing addresses on file for both of you. But if you have moved within the last while, please let me know so that I don&#8217;t send your prize packages to the wrong place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>******************************************************************************************************<\/p>\n<table style=\"background-color: #f2ecd8; width: 512px;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>If you would like more information about my Polymer Clay Tutor Members Library, here are some direct links:<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beadvideos.com\/category\/benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external external_icon\">Library Member Benefits<\/a> and What Others Are Saying<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Order Page for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beadvideos.com\/back-issues\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external external_icon\">Color Recipe and Video Back Issue Packages<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beadvideos.com\/become-a-member\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external external_icon\">Become A Full Member<\/a> at the Library<\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">***********************************<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/cindy-sig.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Cindy Lietz Signature\" width=\"114\" height=\"99\" align=\"right\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/polymer-clay-tutor.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Polymer Clay Tutor\" width=\"200\" height=\"26\" align=\"right\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\" style=\"position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\">As though it was plucked from an ancient Dogwood tree, this rustic sculpted flower pendant is&#8230;<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Hey, the prize went to a lady the last time.I think it should go to oneof the male artists thistime :)&#8221; ~Ken-H<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2769],"tags":[1752,2764],"class_list":["post-12026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pct-show-tell","tag-elizabeth-schydlower","tag-promos-admin-navigation-customer-support"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12026"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12026\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
