Okay, so you know me. I adore sending gifts to people, I like holiday time, and I always try to support indie artists. So I thought I'd stir all three of those facts together and whip up a little gift guide for those less inclined to spend hours poking around on ETSY than I am. Yes, the 12 Days of ETSY — with a different ETSY seller featured each day.
Even cooler than that, I've talked to a handful of ETSY artists and a slew have agreed to help me give away one big prize at the end of my 12 days! How cool is that? First, you sneak a peek into my shopping cart. *Then* you get a shot at winning a smorgasbord of prizes — which may make your whole holiday shopping experience much more pleasurable. Or you could just keep all the prizes for yourself. *Insert evil laugh here.*
For the first day of ETSY (can you say that without singing? I can't) I'm proud to share with thee...
A necklace from Metal Taboo!
To qualify for the prize (which is going to be seriously worth some cold hard holiday cash) all you have to do is this...
Visit Metal Taboo's store and come back here and tell me your favorite item. Why? I don't know. Why not? I thought it would be cool to see what different people like. Of course, there might only be one person. Or no people. Or me all by myself. Don't worry. I'll start. My favorite item is this one. Because that is how I sign everything. And that is the one Tiffanie will be giving away in the prize box at the end of the game!
Hmmm. Other rules? Sure. Yes, you can enter if you have won prizes before and/or if you live overseas. If I've forgotten anything, nudge me and I'll try to respond.
XXX,
Alison
P.S. If you qualify on *any* of the 12 days, you are in he running for a chance to win the whole shebang. I like that word. Shebang. God, more coffee, please. Or less.

Aw! The little brass girls and boys are acute surprise. Soemthing different. I'm enchanted by the axe for some reason, but I love the little girlmeetsgirls and boys :)
Those axes are pretty effing cool!

I like the brass girls and boys too. The girls' pony tails are adorable.
I love the Skulleton keys and the axe (looks like that's not just me!).
I've been eying the "Wounded Heart" necklace. Where else can you find something girly AND complete with a warning to others as to your true nature? (http://www.etsy.com/listing/52891771/wounded-heart-sterling-silver-heart-with)
Alison, I'm pretty sure you're the coolest person on the planet. :-)
My favorite is the one that says Rock Star and has a little metal star: http://www.etsy.com/listing/55294529/rock-star-hand-stamped-oxidized-sterling
Why? Because I co-wrote a novel about a girl getting her chance with her favorite rock star. I wrote it with my best friend, and of all the things I've written and sold, it's my favorite. Because so much of it came from my teenage fantasies. Because it makes me laugh when I'm in the front row of yet another Styx show. Because I gave copies to each member of the band. Sometimes, they make me feel like a rock star! :-)
the axe is nice..but i really love the badgirl chain..because i love badgirls i suposse...but i also like the alcoholic chain and the sex, drugs and r n b one..i have no idea why..coughs*
martini anyone`?

I LOVE this necklace. I've always had a thing for skeleton keys. This is so seriously bad ass.
And I've gotta agree with Dayle - you are definitely the coolest person on the planet (but Dayle darling comes a very close second)

Ooo, all so lovely but I especially like the starry pervert!
Such a cool comp! I get overwhelmed by Etsy so it's great to have a guide!
I'm a pervert! I mean, I have a pervert. Heh.
I get overwhelmed, too. But what's funny is that often when I type in some sort of theme, my favorite ETSY sellers pop up. This happens most often with Buttonhead and Metal Taboo.

The ink earrings. I still handwrite everything before I put it into the computer, so my hands are covered in the stuff . . .
I liked the "Minx" and the miniature tools not the gun. I liked the saws, axe, scissors... Fangs, Wands and Fairy Dust

Stop up at the blog to see the hilarious good morning voldemort song. It is sort of suggestive.
For me "I am the shit" but if a gift, "MILF" for the wife.
I love this one :)

It's just me.
Sorry it took me so long, had to remember my google account! If you saw my book shelf, you'd know why I picked this: http://www.etsy.com/listing/39384806/fang-bang-hand-stamped-oxidized-sterling
