WOW, right?
I know that rules are scary, but I have a few things to tell you about how this giveaway will run so that we are all on the same page.
There is just one Rafflecopter widget, one pool of names, a one-time shot to be entered to win one of the six prize packs.  I opted to run it just once to give everyone the best chance at everything available.  You don’t have to keep coming back and entering new giveaways every day – but that means there are a LOT of optional ways to enter to maximize your chances.  Please don’t get overwhelmed or feel as though you have to complete every entry task – but of course, the more tasks you complete, the better your odds.   So set aside some time to make the most of your chances of winning!
Only the #3, #4, #5, and #6 prize packs are available for shipping to both US and Canada.  If a Canadian winner is drawn for the #1 or #2 prize pack, they will be awarded the next numerical prize available.  Even though the #1 and #2 prize packs cannot be shipped outside the US, you may still complete the entry tasks for those sponsors if you wish!  That will still increase your odds of winning one of the other prize packs!
Facebook has an anti-spam system in place so that computers cannot auto-“like” pages.  The word “confirm” may appear on some entries – this is a random validator, ensuring that you are a real person and not a computer.  You must click “confirm” in order to like the page and for that entry to be valid.  Winners will be verified, so don’t risk forfeiting your prize because you didn’t click “confirm”!
A big thank you to these great prize sponsors!
Now, enter to win from through July 22!  If you can’t make it through the tasks you want to do all at once, just come on back anytime this week.  (Giveaway ends on July 23 at 12:01 am EDT).  Good luck!

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
