Sting Sword Plush Giveaway! -- Closed

BLOG ETSY TUMBLR FACEBOOK

Welcome to the first in what I hope will be a series of many giveaways!

For whatever reason, I've only done one other giveaway before, but I want that to change. With that in mind, my first prize is rather small, but I hope to give away much larger prizes once in a while too ^-^

This giveaway is to celebrate reaching over 70k pageviews and 2,500 watchers! Thank you to everyone who has watched me from the get go or has recently joined in!

The prize is this recent little creation of mine, a plush version of Sting! That is the sword carried by Bilbo & Frodo Baggins from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books. It's made from fleece, is about 14" long, and features glow-in-the-dark decorative stitching for hunting orcs!

*Update!*
I just wanted everyone to know that 8/31 at midnight I did contact the randomly chosen winner ^-^ I have yet to hear a response from them, but they have until midnight on Monday to claim their prize (as the original rules stated). If I don't hear anything by then I'll pick someone else. Once I do have a prize claimant, I'll announce it here!

*Second Update!*
The first winner did not claim their prize in time so I've sent out another note to the next randomly chosen winner Again they have 48 hours to claim the prize or else I'll choose someone else xD;;

*Third Update!*
We have a winner! Congratulations to who was randomly chosen as the winner this morning! I really hope you enjoy your gift! Thanks so much to all of you for participating!
