Last week at a small gathering my friend Annie shed some old jewelry as part of her Fifty Different Things hunt. Those of us in attendance nabbed a piece of two. For instance, I now have a lovely amber ring as a result. I kept what was left to find it all a home. The beaded pieces are heading west to a jewelry maker to undo and refashion. I looked again and saw some small pendants that begged to be spun with floss to become bookmarks. After all, I needed a few more markers for some journals.
So I made a few extra with some of Annie's castoffs as well as some of my smaller pendants.
So this coming week, I'm passing along the giving spirit that ignited this spinning frenzy and am hosting a Win a Whimsy giveaway! And I figured I 'd start and end it on a Wednesday in honor of my old weekly giveaway.
So here's my plan ~ Next Wednesday I'll randomly select three winners - one for each of these three little spirit cord bookmarks ...
So ... How to enter Win a Whimsy ...
It's easy! Just leave a comment - any comment at all - to this post for an entry to win. Make sure it's attached to your contact info/email so I can reach you if you win.
Now if you want to earn extra entries - one for each day of the week - and only if you want to, leave a separate comment for each day you Tweet this message: RT *Win a Whimsy* from @walkinthewoods1 at http://whatrosemadetoday.blogspot.com then leave a comment here for each of your Tweets to secure that extra entry.
The winner will be randomly selected and announced next Wednesday, March 17, sometime around 9 a.m., eastern time. Best Wishes and thanks for playing!

I need to do the 50 things too. I've been thinking about donating some of my craft bags and cleaning up my jewelery would be a good idea too!
I love the Whimsies. :D They're all beautiful.

What beautiful whimsies. I love your reuse of them, the odd metals and bright floss are perfect together.
I love these sorts of fun ideas. :)
Very unique giveaway. I haven't done much of this but found the one contest I had very rewarding.
I love the white and red corded moon and star.... what a great idea to take something that was once a "castoff" and make something beautifully useful from it.
Alas, it is that time of year to declutter and reconsider space in the home. What a lovely giveaway to do just that.

These are simply beautiful. :-) Now I'm inspired to start making wonderful handmade things for family and friends. (It's not the price of the gift, but the gift itself that matters.)
What adorable ideas! Please count me in for the chance to win :)
What a great idea! I have several single earrings that I can't bear to part with, even though their mate is long gone. This would be perfect for them.

Why are they called "spirit cords"?
