Denise did you mean Friday JULY 2nd? Plz let me/us know ok? Wow thats some kinda give away! So very generous! I think you should give 6 separate giveaways! I do follow you and I will post this most definately and will email you with my link to confirm. Really a wonderful thing here thank you for the chance!
ReplyDeleteGreat ok I will be posting this ASAP the Bead party ends! And what a part we are having I just love it!
ReplyDeleteThis has been really fun for me too! Great way to get people to join your blog! I loved your design!
ReplyDeletewow! what a generous give away! and as for 6 or 1, I think it would be really wonderful for the one person that won if it was a one person give away.....that wold be a totally amazing thing to recieve, any way I do follow your blog and I will repost on my blog as well
ReplyDeletehttp://moonlitfantaseas.blogspot.com
normaturvey@yahoo.com
Wow! What a great stash of beads! I'd love to get all of it ;) but it might be more fun to split it up... increase the chances!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great stash - unfortunetly I'm living in Germany but I would gladly pay the postage if you enter me:-) The beads are so gorgeous - especially the blue and turquoise and greens and the...
ReplyDeleteWow awesome giveaway! ^_^ I think you should split the giveaway. That way their will be less sad people. Love your blog! ^_^ I'm going to go post this on my blog. I'll email you the link like you asked. Thank you for having this giveaway! ^_^
ReplyDeleteSteufel - Any idea what it would cost to send a 7.5 to 8 pound parcel to Germany? I have no idea. I hate to make you pay postage - I bet it would be really expensive. If you check it out - and want to pay the postage I will enter you.
ReplyDeleteWow! Split it 6 ways! Better odds for me!
ReplyDeleteI'm overwhelmed by your generosity and torn about how to split it. The little dragon devil on my shoulder wants to hoard, but I know how much fun it would be for six people each to win a wonderful collection of beads. Go for the split!
ReplyDeleteI'm following and will blog about your giveaway at http://loismoon.blogspot.com
-mil gracias,
Lois
moondepadilla@gmail.com
Blogged and it will appear tomorrow.
ReplyDeletehttp://loismoon.blogspot.com
Thanks!
Wow Denise!!!! You are most generous here for sure! Keep it all together - that's a little chunk of shipping $$$ for you to consider if you split.
ReplyDeleteWhat a tremendous giveaway! I've only seen this sort of destash up for sale on the infamous auction site!
ReplyDeleteMy vote? I gotta confess that I'm a bead addict and seeing all those beads makes me want them all. But my saner side prevails and I think splitting up the loot six ways would be more fun--there's certainly enough to go around and enough of each color to split six different ways!
Spread out the happiness!
I'm now following and will be posting about the give away shortly on my blog!
Wow! That is one huge pile of beads, M'am! I'd love to see them all in one place but I so think splitting them up would be a great way to share the beady love.
ReplyDeleteAn amazing pile of beads! I'd be bowled over to be the recipient, but I think that splitting it 6 ways would be ideal for sharing the love.
ReplyDelete(By the way, as a follower I'm listed as Diffusive Design).
the beadaholic in me says one big giveaway (to me), but it breaks down into such nice groups.... so I say 6 happy winners
ReplyDeleteI have blogged about this wonderful give away!
ReplyDeletehttp://beadsbybreul.blogspot.com/
WOWZA! You are a truly generous soul. I am SWOONING with delight over this horde. I am all for everyone wins, but I think that one winner would be outstanding. But I love it when everyone can challenge themselves to come up with something special with this bead soup. So whatever you decide will be most generous. I am giving away something new today in honor of summer...come over and visit!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the day!
Erin
What an amazing gift. I would love all of it, but that would be selfish! You should split it up so many can share in the fun.
ReplyDeleteFabulous giveaway, one of the best I've seen in ages. Seems most are in favor of splitting the prize as that increases one's chance of winning at least a portion of these gorgeous beads and findings. I am going to follow you on both blogspot and on NetworkedBlogs...would love it if you could check out my blog and maybe give me a new NetworkedBlog follower (it could certainly use more).
ReplyDeleteHey Denise, I am speechless. I am living in Germany, but will be visiting my family in the US in the next two month, so maybe you would accept my sister-in-laws shipping address in the surprising case I won? I am following you and will write a post about this giveaway right now. I would absolutely want all beads, but I think this is too selfish, so I would go for splitting it up. Thanks for thinking about including me.
ReplyDeleteAmazing. I say split 6 ways, more fun for all. You pick the combos of course. Can't wait to see the outcome!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome group of beads!! While I think it would be great to win them all - probably splitting them up would make more people happy!! Thank you for whichever you do. I am a follower.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great giveaway! I'd love to be selfish and say one big giveaway, but 6 would increase chances of winning, and be much more fair. :) So I say 6 giveaways. The beads are gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't believe you are doing this. I myself am drooling over the whole stash but in the spirit of Bead Soup, I think you should split it into 6 giveaways. This would give more changes to win. I myself want the turquoise package hehehe. I love your idea and what a way to celebrate Bead Soup.
ReplyDeleteI vote for sharing the beady love and diving the stash 6 ways!
ReplyDeleteholy cow, are you drunk or insane or something?? That is a ton of loot! You know I am a follower, baby! While I would love to win the entire stash, I'd have a better shot at something if you split it into 6 giveaways, so I vote for that.
ReplyDeleteErin
Just had to let you know that I've blogged about your giveaway, bragged on one of threadkiller sites, and emailed a couple of bead addict friends! *grins* I know this hurts my chances for winning, but this is just too good to keep to oneself!
ReplyDeleteoooooooooo what beautiful art dolls these would make!!! Awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteBy the way.... I sent a photo submission of ~Blossom~ in :) Thank you for the motivation!
Many Blessings to You,
Summer
OK Denise, I just blogged about this and for the record have elevated your status far above Santa and the Bunny:D Thanks again for doing such a sweet and generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWow I am in! I will post your give away on my blog. http://libbyleu.blogspot.com/ Such a beautiful collection of beads.
ReplyDeleteThanks
I think one person would love to have it all but it's so much nicer if 6 different people could win! Also, it increases everyone's chances to win! Beautiful giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking at the beads and they're are fabulous! I live in Germany, too, so no way to participate.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I agree that keeping it all together would ease your shipping costs, but it would be fun to spread the wealth... maybe split the difference and split it two or three ways??
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway!
Wow Denise! Those are some of the most beautiful beads I've ever seen. While I would love to win all of them (if I won), I think you should have 6 separate drawings....make 6 people very happy! I put a link to you on my blog. Thanks for doing such an awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteIts a great stash and I vote for splitting it up into 2, 3 or 6 lots.
ReplyDeletePlease pick me pick me pick me pick me! Definitely split - makes for more happy beaders :-) Will put a link on my blog tonight (since I am sneaking a peak at bead soup while at work right now :-))
ReplyDeleteWow, I would be in a good mood if I won those beads! But I like to share so I vote for splitting them up!
ReplyDeletethese are beautiful beads..
ReplyDeletei think splitting it up would be more fun for all...
i am now your follower
Excuse me while I pick my jaw back up off my keyboard and wipe the spit that has puddled on the keys......
ReplyDeleteeww.
Ummm, D.Y.M. what the heck are you giving away all these beads when you could be making fabulousness with them right NOW?! Ok, I better stinkin' win. I'm going to blog it right now....
10 entries, uh yeaaaaaa, how could I NOT!?!
i just added it to my blog..ya!!!
ReplyDeleteBlogged! http://lorelei1141.blogspot.com/2010/06/giveaway-of-all-giveaways.html
ReplyDeleteWow! That's awesome. Everyone is being so nice saying to split it but I say all or nothing:) Ok, ok, split it! Great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! That's a lot of beads! I would like to say split them up, so there would be more winners, but I selfishly want the whole lot!! Will blog and be back with a link! Off to hit your follow button as well :)
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of splitting this treasure trove up - more chances for everyone. I live in Canada but my sister-in-law lives in CA and is coming to visit later in July and has agreed to be my "bead mule" again this year.
ReplyDeleteWOW!! What an amazing giveaway!!! I will blog about this on my blog, and am now a new follower! Split it up - and the winners can trade beads if they want to mix or match more colors!! you are too generous!
ReplyDeleteSooo much eye candy....sensory overload in progress. I say split it and if you can send some my way that would be great! Love all the colors!
ReplyDeleteWow this is an awesome give away! I am a follower. And I think you should split it up that way more people can share in the fun.
ReplyDeleteI plan to blog about it and will send you the link.
Ok! I'm in and crossing my fingers! What a stash. I also feel splitting them up would be best, that way more are in on the frenzy!
ReplyDeletewow! that is the most generous give-away I ever saw!!!
ReplyDeletecan't decide if you split it up or not, it would be amazing to win the whole lot!
The little devil in me also says "keep it all together" but the good prevails and it would make 6 people sooo happy. Thanks for the opportunity to win
ReplyDeletePsst...Lorelei sent me and now I am following you. I am in awe of your amazing generosity with your beads and yarn. I would be happy with a portion of this gorgeous array of beads and therefore am thinking it should be 6 lucky winners. I am drooling over the creative designs running through my mind with your beads. Thank you for such a wonderful opportunity to win. I will blog this too.
ReplyDeleteI am going to say split it even though I want it ALLLL! I will contact you with a link when I blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous and lovely selection of amazing finds... My heart is beating quickly, my fingers are itching to touch it... What joy you are bringing! I am always about sharing the love. My vote is to break it up between 6 people! Thanks for your generosity.
ReplyDeletePeace, Kris
Denise, may I enter if I pay the postage?!! What an amazing giveaway! I would go for six ways personally, it's so nice to give so why not do it over 6 times? No worries if I am not allowed to enter, such a generous giveaway! Whoever wins will be so lucky!
ReplyDeletePlease view http://createology.blogspot.com to see I shared your giveaway on my blog.
ReplyDeleteHappy creating...
What a heavenly giveaway! I just became a follower..I would love the opportunity to win all of the wonderful stash, but the little person sitting on my shoulder says to break it up between six people.
ReplyDeleteYay! I love this giveaway and I became a new follower! Great blog!
ReplyDeleteWOW what a collection. I am definitely following you....and since I believe in sharing (didnt we learn that in kindergarten?) please split up the goodies.
ReplyDeletewill definitely talk about it on my blog...
www.beaderbubbe.blogspot.com
Wowza! If this is only part of your stash I would love to see the whole thing!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhile it would be so awesome to win this entire bounty of beads, I think it should be divided between six people--spread the love, ya know.
I'm a follower of your lovely blog.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I would love just to have a part of it! Love the Blog!
ReplyDeleteThis is incredible! I say spread the love and split the stash up into 6 giveaways!

ReplyDeleteCan't wait for June 26th for your big reveal!

I am just getting into beading to add to my Stained, Mosaic and Fused glass items. So I would love to have the whole stash. :) However, it would be nice to divide it up into at least 2 or 3 prizes also.
ReplyDeleteI just posted about your giveaway on my blog. You can check it out here.
ReplyDeletehttp://KayzKreationz.blogspot.com
Wow...what a great give away...I'm from Canada so I'm out but I'll follow you anyway :0)
ReplyDeleteMay I suggest you give it away to 6 lucky winners!
Good luck to all the lucky participants!!!
Cheers
This is the mother of give-aways!! Wow! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI think it should be split up - spread the bling!
What a generous giveaway. Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI would want to share the wealth, too, and split up the giveaways. The more people beading, the better!
I also reposted on my blog! Sorry, do not know how to use your pics, though! www.galesdesigns.com/blog....and yes, break it up so lots of peeps can win all the loot! :)
ReplyDeleteTotally. Completely. Drooling. must. have.
ReplyDeleteI posted it on my blog!

Holy Heck this is an insanely generous giveaway! You are awesome. Thank you so much for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteSharing is best....
POsted on my blog:
ReplyDeletehttp://starhitchedwagon.blogspot.com/2010/06/wow.html
WOW, this is an amazing give-away! I'm not a jewlery designer, but I have LOTS of friends who are. I'd love to be able to gift them with some of these goodies. I'm reposting on my blog, too, to help spread the word.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I love working with beads. I add them to my handmade art glass of my paintings. These beads would really give my collection a boost! I am adding you to my blog post. I would love to be a "bead hog" and get them ALL!
ReplyDeleteAmazing giveaway! While I would love to have all of these
ReplyDeletebeads myself, I think it would be fun to split them up. I
read about your give away on lorelie's blog and had to visit!
Great blog!
Holy moly, that is one big giveaway. I think you should spread the love and give away prizes to several people. I'll post something about it on my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, what a stash. It would be fun to split it up so there's lots of winners. Good luck to all.
ReplyDeleteVikki
Well, I don't have a blog, but I did share it on facebook. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I like it all going to one person, because you're bound to get something you really really like if you take the whole pile. Plus, it looks more like a pile o' Pirate booty in one fell swoop. So to speak. :)
Awesome stash! And the giveaway is the day before my 44th birthday! What a lovely birthday surprise it would make!
ReplyDeleteWow this is fantastic. I blogged you http://porcelainart.blogspot.com/2010/06/bead-giveaway.html
ReplyDeleteAnd I followed you.
This is a really wonderful and generous thing you are doing. I do think splitting it up would be best this is just too much to go to one person although that would be awesome too. But I say split it up then more people can win and have a great windfall. Even split 6 ways this is an incredible giveaway for each person.
Thanks for the opportunity.
What an amazing and generous giveaway! Wow! I think you ought to split it up - spread around the beady joy a little bit!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your Bead Soup piece! My big reveal is on Saturday, too!
Hello! I blogged about this wonderful giveaway! http://madmaggiedesigns.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this! Beautiful beads! And of course the selfish part of me says give it all away to one winner......but 6 gives an even better chance! We are lucky either way!
Warmly,
Leslie
Nice site you have- just subscribed via bloglines! I think splitting it up and spreading the joy would be best!
ReplyDeleteI think I agree with everyone else, as much as my greedy bone would LOVE to have that whole stash, it would probably be better to make 6 people happy instead,LOL I don't have ablog but it is posted to my facebook page, my website and my beadspace, beading arts & crafts & bead jewelry making groups.
ReplyDeleteThis is so generous. I cannot wait to see all the bead soup party's finished products. Should it all be one big giveaway or split it up? That's a tough one. What if you split it in half? I will definitely blog this one to my readers!
ReplyDeleteBake the Beans YES, I want to enter! I think you should divide it into 6 different wins. So six people win and not just one! Let first choice pick the color they want. I am off to put this on my blog and tell others!
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome giveaway , i would like win.♥
ReplyDeletehttp://carasdesigns.blogspot.com/
Best,
Martin
(Wipes drool off face) This is so amazingly generous of you! As much as I would LOVE to be the one lucky winner, I think that separating them would be the way to go - more chances for everyone! Woo-hooo!
ReplyDeleteI'm blogging it at www.laurelsteven.blogspot.com.
This IS the best giveaway ever! I just became a follower. I wouldnt mind if you split up the loot- more chances to win :)

Wow what a giveaway! hmmm...so if I win then I say you should give it away all in one swoop if not then def. break it up into more giveaways so I can then increase my chances of winning :D Just kidding!!...sort of...such a fun and generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm following on both network blogs and through the regular following thingy :)
Thanks Denise! Great give-a-way much appreciated! I think you should spread the joy and split it up. You're posted on my blog... http://ourcoffeecafe.blogspot.com and I'm keeping my fingers crossed
ReplyDeleteCheers! Merri
What an amazing giveaway! While it would be an amazing hoard to win all at once, dividing it six ways would definitely share the love more. :P
ReplyDeleteSo generous you are... There is enough in that stash to split it any number of ways. I'm all for the share the love. Thanks for my entry!
ReplyDeleteYou're a nut!!! I loooooove it!!!! I'd go with six giveaways...share the love. Then make winners show you what they made!!!
ReplyDelete6 ways! I agree - share the love. I'm posting in my blog today!

Thanks for the opportunity!
WOW, This is great.
ReplyDeleteYes I am from Canada but if I am so lucky to win I will be more then VERY Happy to pay the Shipping ( WHich is way less then you think)OR you can send it to my family in Minnesota and they can forward it.
SO.. I believe in sharing the wealth!! I think you should split it up for many winners and make a lot of people happy not just one.
Thanks so much and I hope I am included!
Cillaw
FABULOUS! Any way you split it up will be fun to win.:)
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I'm following you (in GoogleReader); I'm leaving a comment; and I posted this on my blog (http://craftyhope.blogspot.com/2010/06/first-steps-and-giveaway.html)
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping I'm a lucky girl!!
Wow, What a great haul! I'd love to be the recipient of the whole thing, but I am not selfish -- so you can divide it 6 ways.
ReplyDeleteI'll be your follower too.

I say "all for one"...but wait...maybe i'm not the one? So maybe a split? I'm following and blogging:)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see the whole kit and kaboodle go to one lucky winner. I know it cuts the odds of winning, but then it would be the Bead Giveaway that Shook the World....
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, and I blogged about it here:

Sweet.
Wow- what a give away! I am a new follower of your blog and am excited to be a follower. I would love to be the winner of all the beads but it would also be fun for six people to win part of the loot.
ReplyDeleteWhat's left to say?! There's no complete way to describe this luscious stash!! Tough choice, 1 or 6. I think if the good triumphs in each of us, and it's there, we would gladly share 6 ways. Then the 6 winners can have a private Bead Soup Party, LOL! Thank you!
ReplyDeletehi denise,
ReplyDeletei am a follower but i don;t have a blog of my own. i am new to the beading world,i am teaching myself to bead.it's part of my art therapy,i am disabled due o a nasty incurable disease called NARCOLEPSY. most either have no idea what it is or think we just sleep all the time,that's nothing at all close to it. anyway i would love to win all those gorgeous beads,but can i enter without a blog?sure hope so..lol

This is a new venture for me -- I think I did it correctly. A give away is a fun enterprise. I would be happy with one portion or all but perhaps it would be good to "share the wealth with more than one winner" -- That said -- I would prefer to win beads and not fiber since I don't use that medium.
ReplyDeleteHi Denise - I heard about you from Nan at Spirit Rattles. I have put your give-away on my blog and signed up to follow yours (which is fantastic, by the by). I think it would be great to split the booty up 6 ways so that 6 people get to enjoy it. It's not as if there isn't enough to go around! This is very wonderful (and smart) of you.
ReplyDeleteCenya
What gorgeous beads -- and such a fabulous assortment. I think splitting up the batch would offer the most good (as much as I'd personally love to wallow and create with the whole treasure). This will be fun to follow!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower and love what you have here. I'll be generous and say divide it up, but oh my heart says, "I want it all"
ReplyDeleteIncredible site and what a talent! I drool...
ReplyDeleteI have become a follower and I think that sharing the wealth is the way to go, thanks for doing this, what fun!
OMG! I want I want I want! What a generous giveaway! I will post this on my blog!
ReplyDeletemissyrappaport.blogspot.com
I want to enter, too! What an amazing burst of generosity~! I think you should give it away any way that brings you the most joy, because no matter what you choose you will make someone (or several someone's) happy as well! I will post this on my blog as well. shakura-moonsinger.blogspot.com.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you!

I blogged about it!

thanks to kylie, i found out about this cool giveaway & i am following you. i would be thrilled to win such a fab stash of beads. i'm usually not selfish, but i'd say keep them all together. if i were to happen to win, i would keep a few & donate the rest to our local senior citizen group so that they could make some cool stuff & enjoy themselves.
ReplyDeletei'll post on my blog as well

What a GREAT Giveaway! I guess I would choose 6 giveaways. Any one of the groups is great. Will you list the winners in your blog? I'm wondering how I should list my id. - M A Helgesen
ReplyDeleteHi Denise, I am following you on blogger and facebook. My opinion is that you should do as many giveaways as you like. :) If I was doing this I would split the beady goodness into six, as I think that would spread the joy.
ReplyDeleteI posted about this on my blog too and will be emailing you the link.
Thanks for doing this, and Happy beading.

Holy Shmokes Denise! This is a HUGE give-away! I think this should be split between 6 people. THat is an awesome stash!
ReplyDeleteBead Happy!

Holy Cow Denise ... what a giveaway! So generous! Though I would LOVE to win it all I think you should divide by six for more chances.

OMG! Such a generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteTough question! It would be just amazing to win the whole lot but splitting it up would make six people happy! I vote to split it up.
I'm now following.
Denise,
ReplyDeleteSoftflex Girl promoted you that is how I found your giveaway. I'm following you now.. WOW! What beautiful beads. I think it's no hands down split it 6 ways. To receive 1 strand or beads free would be so gracious and sweet of you. So I say split the treasure chest between as many as possible.
I will be sure to promote your giveaway on my blog also.
have a fantastic day!
I think your give away is awesome, and what a wonderful gift to the winner(s).
ReplyDelete=i thought i had post a comment just a bit ago, but i do not see it=
thank you!
i blogged it too!
ReplyDeletehttp://lisamartinjewelrydesigns.blogspot.com/2010/06/best-bead-give-away-ever.html
p.s. also facebook and twittered for you :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing offer!!! I have been a fan of yours from the beginning and am so proud of all the work you do! Even though most everyone says "split it up" they really want it all as one and I say keep it together and make it an awesome win! Or do a 1st, 2nd and 3rd...
ReplyDeleteKeep it up!
i am a new follower! your blog is beautiful and what an incredible giveaway! thanks to softflexgirl for sharing on her blog.
ReplyDeletei am posting on my blog
ReplyDeletewww.amberdawnjewelry.blogspot.com
oh, and while i would love to win them all, it would be fun to have 6 winners. :)
ReplyDeleteAlthough I would love to create with all of these beads, I think you should have 6 winners.
ReplyDeleteI follow as rsg.

What an amazing and generous giveaway!! I think splitting it up into 6 giveaways would still give each winner a generous supply of goodies... I'll post this giveaway to my blog, http://thelaughingraven.blogspot.com/ , on Tuesday morning -- what fun!!
ReplyDeleteI love to see all the beautiful beads and work you share on your blog. It is one of my favorite places on the internet!
ReplyDeletenow following you on twitter. I think you should do it 6 ways. 6 winners are a lot more fun than just 1.
ReplyDeleteHi Denise, I'm new to your blog ... how exciting is this. You certainly have good taste in beads! I want to win them all, but maybe they should be split up into 6 winners. You have so much to go around.
ReplyDeleteMan, I say split, but only because that ups my chances of winning!!! Thanks for the giveaway and I definitely posted it on my blog.
ReplyDeletehttp://labellajoya.blogspot.com
What an amazing and generous giveaway. I will definitely follow your blog! I think sharing is a good way to go. R
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome giveaway! You are quite generous. I am in the UK, and I know you said US only, but I'd quite happily pay the shipping rates for this! But if not, tis ok. I have reposted on my blog to spread the word to any US followers who might be interested.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to everyone.
roadie_13@hotmail.com
A bountiful giveaway. Very generous of you. I say spread the love and have 6 giveaways.
ReplyDeleteYou are a very kind person. So many delicious beads.
ReplyDeleteI would spread it around so you have 6 very happy beaders.
I cannot imagine parting with any of my beads, let alone this many. It would be so exciting to receive all of these, but...do you make one person happy or many? I say many. I will repost on my blog. Thank you for being so generous.
ReplyDeleteHi Denise! I am so happy to meet you!! Thank you for an incredible opportunity! I just became a follower and have a post on my blog today!
ReplyDeleteYour pieces are so fresh and fun!
A big congrat's on being featured in Stringing!!
Hugs!
Wow! What a stash to giveaway =) Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to be in company of such BEAD ADDICTS.
ReplyDeleteI am posting the link to my blog www.alysebeadbazaar.com.
I would LOVE to be the sole recipient of your generous offer, but sharing the bead love around would also be nice.....

If you draw my name,
ReplyDeletethen you should send ALL those
yummy beads to me ! LOL!!!
seriously , I'd vote to spread the smiles
and split the stash !
WOW ! what amazing give away !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
m.e. :)
Denise, I was given your link by a beading friend. So wonderful to read your posts, and to get the chance to win some fabulous beads. I would have to say split them, just for the excitement of more people winning! Love all the awesome colors. Wish I had a blog site, so I could be entered 10 more times!! :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Shirley
What a wonderful giveaway! I would luv to win all these beads, but dividing them would give more people the opportunity to win, and that would be a good thing too.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing giveaway! However you decide to give then away...6 ways or one big haul for one lucky commenter it would be awesome to win!
ReplyDeletePS...I'm having an art supply giveaway on my blog.
Winning the whole lot would be amazing, but splitting it up would mean more chances to win! I guess I'll have to vote for splitting it up.
ReplyDeleteI am just sitting here in Ahhh and drooling right now!
ReplyDeleteI just blogged about your giveaway! 10 more chances????? Wowzer!
ReplyDeletehttp://doreenwilley.blogspot.com/2010/06/totally-amazing-giveaway.html
Hey Denise! This is a crazy bead giveaway! I think one person should get all. I found you via Barbara Bechtel over at Second Surf! And If I win, I'd send her the sari yarn, 'cuz she's really a great woman and has been dreaming about it for days! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day!

http://designsbydawnmarie.blogspot.com
Just became a follower! I do like your work it is very pretty and unique! I think you should split up your goodies! It looks like a lot of us want some of your booty!
ReplyDeleteWow.......all I can say is Wow! What a great giveaway, shared or given as a giant box of treasures, either way will be wonderful. Hugs Katherine
ReplyDeleteP.S. yes I am a follower :-)
What a wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI have GOT to get my name into this giveaway.
As a blog owner and fellow giveaway host, I think you should choose ONE winner because postage to 6 different locations will be more expensive and choosing 6 different people will take longer.
As an ENTRANT to the giveaway and as a hopeful winner, I think you should choose SIX winners!
Did that help? Heh.
And because I want to win this so badly (I can taste it) I am going to post this on my blog where I have over 550 google followers and 500 subscribers.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of traffic who will be coming your way!
What a beautiful stash of beads...so many possibilities there! Keep it together or split it up... I'm happy either way! Two things about keeping it together are that the lucky winner might decide to share the love and have their own giveaway with some of the items and it saves you having to ship multiple packages.
ReplyDeleteMe oh my!!! Would love to have all these beads to play with...I have so many projects going on in my head right now!!!
ReplyDeleteme! me! me!!!!!!
Here you go, Denise.
ReplyDeleteI posted it on my blog!
http://waterwaif.blogspot.com/2010/06/holy-wow-ive-entered-this-bead-giveaway.html
This is a beadahlics dream come true! It does not matter to me whether it is all or split....anything would be a blessing!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you!
Hope

Following...and drooling! What a give-a-way. Did someone threaten you that if you didn't clear out some of your stash, they would chop your fingers off??? Anyway, split it up. If just one person won all that, they might be hunted down. Wow, this is a violent comment. Breath. Okay, I'm calmer now.
ReplyDeleteWow, great giveaway. I posted a link from my blog at wordpress (need that extra 10 enteries - lol). I'm hoping to win this for my sister who does jewelry for a living. She can always use the help with supplies as finances are tight in this economy. Plus her birthday is coming up in July. What a great gift it would be for her.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a generous Giveaway and I would be thrilled if you enter my name in.I have already entered your link on my sidebar.Warmest Regards,Cat
ReplyDeleteWOW. What an awesome giveaway! You are incredibly generous to do this, and personally, I think the whole lot should go to one lucky person....although I am partial to the sari silk and would love to have even just that!
ReplyDeleteI'll be posting on my blog about this, for sure!
Wow! I think splitting it 6 ways would be better because it allows for more winners. I will post this on my blog and email you with the link. Woohoo!!
ReplyDeletefollowing via gfc!
ReplyDeleteI think you should split it up 6 ways :)
lynnirenesa at gmail dot com
WOW Denise! I found your blog through Facebook, Dawn Marie gave you a plug over there! I will become a new follower and re-post on my blog! Although I would love to have every single item in that big pile, I love to share and spread the "winnings"! Thank you so much and I'm glad I found you!!
ReplyDeleteAll the best~! Shannon
Odd! I swear I commented here yesterday. Maybe not. Maybe there are so many I just can't find my comment. LOL! Anyway, I vote it is split up into lots-even more than 6 lots. I mean, I'd be overjoyed to win one or two things ;o)
ReplyDeleteJust re-posted your Give-A-Way on my blog here:

Thanks again Denise!

Hi! New follower and Waterwaif sent me here :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the generous giveaway! Same as most, would be awesome to have a huge pile of treasures but would love to share the fun with others, so 6 winners is awesome!
Hi Denise...blogged about it!
ReplyDeletehttp://melissameman.blogspot.com/2010/06/bead-soup-party-continues.html
Hi Denise,
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower - found you through La Bella Joya - and will be sure to post your give-away info on my blog (www.artfullivingonthebluff.blogspot.com)!!
What an exciting give-away - I would love to win just one STRAND of beads, they're all beautiful. Despite the extra postage costs, I think it would be cool for 6 people to win but my secret wish is to be THE ONLY winner! :D
Cheers,
Cindy Caraway
Hey there! I just posted about your giveaway in my blog. http://treasures-found.blogspot.com/2010/06/raweverything-you-give.html
ReplyDeleteYou are getting lots of play for this. Kudos!
Enjoy the day.
Erin
I am a new follower and would love to win any of your lovely beads. I vote for breaking it up into six winners!
ReplyDeleteWow. I think receiving a package with all that bounty might result in creative overload, so I would suggest creating one wonderful package each for six lucky winners :D Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThough I would love to win the whole shebang... I like to share...so break it up:) And since Saturday is my birthday...I will cross my fingers doubly hard that I win:)
ReplyDeleteHow kind you are to offer such a great giveaway. I am a new follower and I am off to do a blog posting....my 100th will be about your give away...lets celebrate:)
I would love to get all those beads in one package! Thanks for such a generous giveaway.
ReplyDeleteGot you posted and everything:) Good luck to us one and all:)

Hi, I am here through waterwaif.
ReplyDeleteand i left your link here:
http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/handmadefuzzy/104283731829?ref=ts
Love all the colors, would love to have them all, but will also be happy to share with others.
Okay wow, this is an absolutely amazing giveaway, I would love to win any part of that stash. I think 6 ways would be better since there are so many entrants! I'll be posting this on my blog for sure!
ReplyDeleteHmmm 6 is better odds but to win all the beads - greedy maybe but so exciting to get all that loot. This is so generous of you.
ReplyDeleteWell, of course 6 spreads the wealth, but wouldn't it be COOL to win the whole kit 'n kaboodle? Sorry, that was no help at all. Great blog (and I ALWAYS love a bird in a hat).
ReplyDeleteHow very generous to share your stash with aspiring artists like myself! Thanks for your generousity...
ReplyDeleteI think breaking it up into six groups, with a little from each, would be very nice. It would make six beaders so very happy!
Thanks again!
Rose Anne
Ok I also posted about this wonderful giveaway.Check it out at http://inthelightofthemoon.blogspot.com/2010/06/beadsbeads-and-more-beads.html
ReplyDeleteWarmest Regards,Cat
Wow - what an incredible giveaway! My selfish side says all to one person, but really, splitting it six ways sounds like the best idea. Spread the love!
ReplyDeleteSaw your link on Gales Designs... I love these! You should definitely split six ways. I think the greens are prettiest :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI think it would be great to split the prize 6 ways! :)
What?? Six ways? Better odds but I would LOVE to get that whole stash. Just the thought of it arriving at my door after a hard day at the day job.....oh!
ReplyDeleteWaterwaif sent me :)
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower, and i would split the contest up 6 ways...that would be the nice thing to do (snickers that she would love to win the whole shebang , anyway) :)
Following!!! Yes, I am!!!! My thought 6 ways only because it is such a big haul! (But NO, wait - if you choose me I'll take the whole thing!!) I am reposting to my blog now.
ReplyDeletehttp://nedbeads.blogspot.com/
Wow, Im always looking for new blogs to look at and yours is great I'm glad i found you!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Denise, this is amazing! I'd definitely vote for splitting the haul.
ReplyDeleteGreat give away, Thanks to Shannon of After Hours Art Glass for letting me know about this, I'm now a follower. I think you should break up the winnings that way 6 people could win some of the goods. God bless, Michelle
ReplyDeleteHi-- I'm following on facebook. What a wonderful giveaway - I'll vote for one prize because it makes one great win!
ReplyDeleteHi Denise, Wow, what a giveaway! I tried to become a follower but blogger is acting up right now and I got an error message, will try again later.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be cool to divide it up into many winners, I know I would be overwhelmed to receive that many beads, oh the sleepless nights of dreaming up all to make with it, the pressure! :) I think a nice selection of some of each color for each winner would be cool. Then there would sure to be 'favorites to work with' and 'ones to make one stretch' as well.
I'll be back with another comment. I am currently updating my blog with today's Bead Soup revealers and will add in your give away too.
Kate
Ok, I got the congratulations Kate, I am now following you! :)
