**CONTEST CLOSED FOR NEW ENTRIES--WINNER IS LENNOX KNITS**
It's time for the April ArtFire Giveaway!! It's your chance to win a bunch of eco-friendly girly goodness from a bunch of awesome ArtFire sellers! This giveaway will run from today, Wed. April 1st - Tues., April 7th at midnight. There are 11 sellers participating in this giveaway, so please read the entry rules them carefully! Our theme this month is Eco-friendly/Earth Day products, so on to the loot!


This month's prize consists of a Love Your Mama tote bag by NotMoira, an Antique Doll Part by CobWebPalace, a Vegan Trio of Unscented, Lavender, and Oatmeal Guest Soaps from Green Hill Soap Co., Brennan the Friendly Bath Monster by the Shine Your Hiney Soap Co., Scrubbies by leahMarie, Unscented Body Yogurt with Goats Milk from MeaCulpaBodyandBath, Pom-Great-Nate 90z Palm Wax Candle from Jennuine Candles, Earth Day Glow-in-the-Dark Ornament from BAKidagain, Handpainted Key Hanger from ChelseaLynnDesigns, an Earth Day Upcycled Scrabble Tile Pendant from NinjaJenn, and an Upcycled Pendant 'Peaceful Times' from Campgirldesigns. These products retail for $91.00!

But, wait, it gets better!!

Each owner of these shops has volunteered one of their products because they want to promote their shops but also ArtFire as a venue so we are all offering 10% off in our shops during this giveaway! Use this code when purchasing: RBAPRAF10P** ArtFire is a relatively new site in the grand scheme of the online handmade market scene, but we like it because it's very open and has a fee structure that allows us to put our money into our product. If you've been considering giving ArtFire a try, I encourage you to do so as the shops offered at the discounted rate are going fast!

The winner of the contest will be chosen by the random number generator at random.org, so each comment is one entry unless it's incomplete, in which case it will be skipped. To enter the contest, you must visit at least 6 of our 11 shops listed above, come back, and leave 1 comment that mentions your favorite item from all 6 shops, not 6 separate comments. After completing your main entry, you can earn extra entries by doing any or all of the following, putting each one in a separate comment:

--visit the other 5 shops you didn't visit in your first comment and mention your favorite item in one comment for all 5 shops

--blog about the giveaway and link back in your comment

--tweet about the giveaway and link back in your comment

Want automatic entries in this giveaway? Well, then all you have to do is:

--purchase from any Artfire shop from April 1-April 7 and link back with your order #. Your seller will give it to you or ask for it.

--purchase from any of our 11 shops and receive 2 extra entries per shop and link back with your order #. Your seller will give it to you or ask for it.

Please remember to leave your contact information in your comment. We can't contact you if we can't find you!!! Anonymous entries with no email address will be deleted.

  7. Hi Lori! I loved reading all of your interviews with the shop owners :)

    All of the giveaway items are so great, but here are some of my other favorites from the shops:

    1. All of Not Moira's cards crack me up, but my fondness for Hammer pants makes the Hammertime card my favorite
    2. I think the vintage book locket necklace is amazing over at Cobweb Palace. So great that it even has real miniature photos.
    3. Green Hill Soap Co.'s Manly Man Facial Scrubbie set is very cute and a great idea. Happy B-day Brandi :)
    4.Can't get enough of those monsters at Shine Your Hiney Soap Co. I think my favorite is Brennan the friendly Bathmitt !
    5. I think I might have to buy the little scrubbies , I don't use cotton balls very often, but these are so cute, I might start!
    6.I'd love to take a whiff of everything at Mea Culpa's Body and Bath Creations, especially pomegranite cherry , yum!

  13. Now, I can finally get to my main entry.

    From GreenHillSoapCo, my favorite has to be the coffee kitchen soap...

    From ChelseaLynnDesigns, it would have to be the hand-pained slate rock with the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse on it, mostly because I went there just yesterday.

    For Campgirldesigns, I love her R is for Rabbit pendant.

    I love BAkidagain's Breast cancer heart and ribbon ornament, because it's a cause very close to my heart.

    MeaCulpa, I love, love, love your Kiss My Tattoo Balm.

    Finally, CobwebPalace, I love your Vintage Book Locket reconstructed necklace.
