Flamingo Toes

January Follower Giveaway!

Woohooo!! It’s time for a Flamingo Toes Follower Giveaway!

Do you realize we haven’t had a follower giveaway since September of Last Year???? Crazy!!
Things have been so busy – but we’re going to make up for it this month!

If you’re new here (which is entirely possible since I’ve been a slacker for the last 3 months) you might not know what a Follower Giveaway is.
I will be not, as Marietta suggested on FB, be giving away a Follower of mine. :)

Nope – this is a Giveaway open only to Flamingo Toes Followers!! I appreciate you all so much – I know there are so many amazing blogs out there – with fabulous projects and funny posts and general awesomeness. I am so thankful that you stop by here, leave comments, pin stuff you like, and are so supportive!
This is my little way to say, “Thanks. You’re so cool.” ;)

So are you ready for the Giveaway? I thought it would be fun to do a Flamingo Prize Pack this month!!
And since it was so fun last January – I’m only going to give you sneak peaks at the prizes. Hopefully you’ll recognize at least a couple!

Hmmm. Can you figure them out??

One lucky winner will win this fun Prize Pack!!!
Ready to Enter?

  3. I follow using RSS feed – google reader! My favorite thing about flamingo toes are all the affordable and cute diy ideas and tutorials!

  8. I have followed you on FB for quite a while. I like the heads up when you have a new post so I can go check it out.

  15. I Check your blog everyother day to see what new you have to show us. I have followed you on FB for a while for the heads up when you have a new post. And I just started following you on Twitter. I have a tendency to forget about Twitter. Guess I need to check it more oftern.
    Thanks again

  21. Flamingo Toes is one of my very favorite blogs. You and I clearly have the same taste in accessories, so that makes your tutorials so much more awesome for me. Your writing is lighthearted and fun (I always LOL @ your weekly search terms), the Think Pink roundup is always an awesome collection to inspire, and YOU are just one fabulous chicky! *big hugs* and happy new year Bev!

  22. This looks like a good give away i will enjoy. I’ve always been too frugal to even buy jewelery at thrift stores or costume jewerly but i absolutely love it and its something i’d like to have more often. anyway i love your blog.

  28. I’ve not ever seen a tutorial request link before. But i’m new to following blogs too. anyway i think thats pretty cool.

  38. I must say my favorite part of ft is the wacky searches. Your writing is very funny and I always find myself laughing out loud at those posts.

  48. I love all your anthro knockoff tutorials–it’s great to see how to make something trendy for a fraction of the price!

  61. I receive emails from you and follow you that way. I think that is RSS feed but I’m not sure. I love your blog, I think your tutorials are basic and your projects are super creative! Thanks, keep it up!~Laura

  65. Lovely Giveaway, missed your monthly ones…I follow through GFC….btw, I havent yet received the goodies of the black friday giveaway

  70. My favourite thing? The way you write. Funny, clever with clear, understandable tutorials that even I can’t mess up. And your photography is brilliant. What’s not to love?

  74. i follow via email. i just found you this month and i love what i see so far! i like your jewelry tutorials! cant wait to see what the year holds! thanks for sharing your creativity!

  75. Holy cr@pola, Bev!! A piece of jewelry for every body part! Well, every body part that *I* wear jewelry on. To each their own and all… :)

    I *need* more Flamingo Toes jewelry for my collection/obsession. Read: I *need* to win this. :)

    Follow via GFC!

  78. I’m not certain I could pinpoint one single thing that makes me love Flamingo Toes so much (they taste like chicken?). I love your sense of community and your sense of humor. I think those would be tied as my fave. :)

  100. If I had to pick just one thing I liked about Flamingo Toes….it’d have to be you! Without you, there’d be no blog. Thank you for it all. Especially love all the clear tutorials!

  107. I love everything about the Flamingo Toes blog, but without Bev, it would not be what it is – fabulous!

  109. my favorite thing about your blog is your fabulous jewelry ideas and your simple step by step instructions that are so easy to follow!

  110. hmmm… so many things to like about Flamingo Toes. I appreciate your tone in your tutorials… even though most of what you do looks so complicated (particularly for a non jeweler like myself) you are so humble about it and make it sound like I should give it a go. Which is sweet.
    I also really appreciate that you keep money in mind. In this economy you’d think thats a no brainer but it seems it is few and far between. So as someone without a ton of extra cash, I appreciate that!
    And mostly I just love your humor!

  128. Hmmm, favorite thing – I guess the short answer would be the amazing jewelry knock offs & tutorials. I actually have bought some supplies to attempt my first. Long answer? I love the fact that you write as though you are talking to an old friend, I feel like your personality really comes through and it seems very genuine!

  130. I love tutorials! I like to see how things are made so that I can try it on my own.

  134. Love your jewelry and the tutorials. Your sharing with us makes it so nice to visit your blog.

  140. I follow FT on email. I follow becuase I love your tutorials. You make everything seem so simple and I truly appreciate that. Your blog is so refreshing and I look forward to receiving your email everyday. Please, keep it up! GrammyK

  158. Bev, What I like best about Flamingo Toes is your featuring so many guests. I have found so
    many other sites because of you. Thanks.

  159. Bev, What I really like the best are your easy to follow tutorials. I have found myself making so many.
    I love the Anthro jewelry,

  174. You’ve inspired me to get my beeds and tools out blow off the dust and get creating again.

  186. Favorite thing??…So hard to choose! I love “Crush of the Week” and of course the jewelery tuts!

  187. I follow you on Google Reader (love that thing), Facebook (Nadine McCrady Borovicka) and Twitter (knittingKnadine).

    What I love about FlamingoToes? Besides the amazing giveaways ;) the tutorials are always so great. Easy to follow and super clear pictures.

  201. I follow your blog through Google Friend Connect. (I think that is what I did – I just know you show up in my blog I follow in google reader.)

  203. I agree with a lot of the other comments, my favorite thing about your blog is the awesome tutorials that you are so gracious to share…
    Hugs, Brenda

  206. My favorite thing about Flamingo Toes is you. I love the jewelry tutorials but the reason I keep reading your blog (and I have given up almost all of my crafty blogs) is because of you. And because I love your Crush of the Week posts. The highlights are the best! And I really need to win this giveaway because I adore that ring!!

  214. I love everything about your blog…I am a Flamingo Toes Blog follower and I read everyday…even if I don’t log into my Facebook, although I follow you on Facebook too! Great ideas and general crafty awesomeness:)
    Thank you for all the inspiration!!!
    Christina

  217. I follow you via email and am so happy to do so. Last spring I lost my job – thankfully found another – and I blog hopped a lot to keep my spirits up. Flamingo Toes was one of the first I discovered and love reading you every single day. Thanks!

  222. I just started following you on Twitter – do you want to follow me? I just set up my account today, so I am fairly boring. But maybe one day I’ll get the hang of this. Twitter is MtnQuiltworks or Barb Neiwert

  224. Now then. The best thing about Flamingo Toes? Well, on your FB page, I just learned you are from Carlsbad, and we became very familiar with Carlsbad a couple of years ago when my daughter was attending the Gemological Institute – right by Lego Land! So I guess I like that you can live in a warm climate, and I have a visual of your community. :)

  225. I just LOVE giveaways! Your blog is too cute and I love it! I follow you through GFC and twitter!! :)
    Thank you for sharing!

  235. And…my favorite thing about Flamingo Toes??? Tutorials! They are always my favorite. :D

  237. I follow every way I can… RSS Reader, GFC and email. I don’t like to miss a single post! AJ@queenofmynest

  240. I have several favorites but I love it when you recap the searches for the week… you always crack me up!! AJ@queenofmynest

  242. umm…well I’m new to this blog following thing, so I don’t know if I understand the question :) your cute blog shows up in my email inbox, so that means HSS feed? er, I mean RSS feed.
    my favorite thing about your blog is your self-deprecating humor. oh, and your fun ideas and projects. BTW, I’m sitting in my mom’s hospital room, she had a nasty spinal surgery today – diskectomy on 5 disks, rods, bone grafts and fusions, the works…so I’d appreciate any prayers send up on our behalf! it’s going to be a rough couple of days….and then there is my poor hubby at home (another city) trying to work, keep the kids, hold it all together.

  245. I’m a follower via google friend connect. Thanks for a chance to win this wonderful giveaway! :)

  250. I follow via email and I love all of your stuff and of course the tutorials! I wish I could keep up with you and get everything you make done at my house!

  253. My favorite part about the blog is the craft ideas and tutorials. My favorite so far is the hot cocoa mug ornament.

  258. I’d love to enter your giveaway. I follow via the little google widget in your sidebar, I’m guessing that is GFC, I’m a bit technologically challenged :D

  266. I love your jewelry and embroidery tutorials. It’s hard to find really clear ones elsewhere online! You do a great job of making the directions and pictures very clear and I love the finished projects!

  269. My favorite thing is all of your jewelry tutorials. I’ve been wanting to get into jewelry making for a long time, and your blog has so many great ideas!

  277. My fave thing about Flamingo Toes are the jewelry and accessories tutes! Shepherd Moon haunts my dreams… :)

  279. I follow in RSS feed way…

    I am also “liking” you on the Facebook!

    My favorite thing….. Um, everything! I dig the jewlery tutorials, the lovely pix and your “voice”.

  286. My favorite thing about your blog is that it’s so varied! I have crafting ADD, so having so many posts about different crafty topics really helps fuel that fire!

  287. I am a follower via RSS feed, Google Friend Connect and also via email subscription as well.

    Geez, I feel like a stalker. ha

  289. I follow you on Google frien, Facebook and check in regularly to your blog :)
    I’ve just started making jewellery and your tutorials have super inspired me! :D

  290. I follow your blog-a-roo and it is one of my very faves :)

    PS- Clever with the cropped pictures…but I think I have them all figured out ;)

  292. Ah man…. If I was supposed to tell you what I like about real flamingo toes I’d say I like that they are pink :)

    BUT since we are talking about the blog, my favorite thing is your jewelry tutorials…pretty much ALL of your tutorials (because I like your style) but I will go with the jewelry tutorials :)

  296. And for my last entry Bev, the reason I love your blog is that even while you have alot of other stuff on the sidebar it’s not obtrusive, which leaves your blog less cluttered looking. Those other things are stil easily readable too so that’s good for those other sites. I also love that you personally are very responsive to any questions from your readers if they have a question. I realize not all comments can be responded to, but you do make sure if one of your followers have asked something that you do get back to them which I think is great.

    And of course, I do love how easily understandable your tutorials are and how many you do for all of us.

  300. I love your jewelry making tutorials.They are just amazing and easy to understand for beginners like me. I love your Dutch Wax Collage Bracelet!! <3

  304. I love all your knock off ideas you come up with. Saves us lots of money. We get to look cute without breaking the bank…

  309. I have checked your site out every day for the last couple of months. Would love to win this!
    I am a follower!

  310. I love the jewelry you make. I sit and try not to drool all over my keyboard. Thanks for taking time to knock off the really pretty things!

  326. I of course love the name “Flamingo Toes!” SO creative! But what I also like about this blog are the jewelery tutorials!

  327. I love your site. I made a necklace for a friend, based on one I saw here a few months ago, and she loved it. Thanks for the creative influence! Kepp up teh great work!

  341. I love the name of your blog… that’s what drew me in initially to even have a look. I love your tutorials and the fact that you are a fellow Christian! Have a wonder-filled day!

  346. My favorite thing about FT is that it’s so personal or maybe approachable is a better word. Bev, you’ve always come across as a real person with real talent. Not some better than everyone else superstar that we could never relate to. Also, I LOVE the weird searches! I look at my own blog’s searches and smile each week and think of FT.

  349. I love your site, especially the title, the flamingos are so cute! I’m now a new follower through Google and am looking forward to joining your bloghop too. thanks so much for the giveaway, some jewelry sure would be wonderful!
    Best,
    Jenn
