Don't forget to check back on the blogs too. Some art beads go unclaimed because commenters don't check back to find out they won!

Don't forget the Facebook Fan page for Cynthia Thornton's new book, Enchanted Adornments. The sky's the limit as far as how many and how frequent the giveaways are.

And, in exchange simply for your feedback, there's a giveaway on my blog!
Thanks for the great tip! I have done some of that and will seek out more ways to win. I have won several times on the Vintaj blog just by putting comments on it through the month. They randomly pick and I have won twice!
Enjoy the day!
