WHEN...................
The competition begins today (March 8th 2012) and it ends at midnight PST on March 25th 2012. Any entries submitted after that deadline will not be counted (sorry). The draw will take place on March 26th.
HOW...................
To enter you just need to make sure you do the following things in this list!
- Become a follower of this blog (if you are not already a follower).
- Become a fan of the Hummingbird Miniatures Page on Facebook (click here to be taken to it).
- Become a follower of my Pixie Dust Miniatures blog (click here to be taken to it).

FAQ (Frequently asked questions)...................
Q. Do I have to have a Facebook account to enter?
A. No, you do not have to open a Facebook account simply to enter. I'll still enter you! :)
Q. Do you check to see if people are following the rules and are eligible to enter?
A. Yes, I do. I check throughout the duration of the competition to see who has become a follower / fan / promoted on their sites etc, so that I can keep it fair and make sure everyone has their name entered the correct number of times.
Q. How exactly do you choose a winner?
A. I print off everyone's names (some names are printed off 4 or 5 times if they've earned the right to be entered 4 or 5 times) and I simply throw them all in a bowl or hat and draw out 1 name at random. I film the competition draw and upload it to my YouTube Channel within about 2 days of the competition's end.
...................
Good Luck Everybody!!
On another note, I just want to thank everyone who took advantage of the 40% off coupon I ran for 24 hours yesterday! It was a huge success and I spent all morning packing up little gift boxes for America, Canada, Australia, Norway, Finland and the UK. I was thrilled so many of you jumped on it and hope you love the miniature packages you receive. They're going off in the post tomorrow and are currently sitting by the front door neatly (which is why I took a pic!)

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI have just recently stumbled upon the amazing work you do. I've always love miniatures.
But a little different to yours, i use little figures that are millimetres tall... HO scaled figures for model railways and make wee scenes and occassionally make little fimo objects for them that i cant buy.
But after finding the work you do, its inspired me to try different things. Today i recieved my purchase from your etsy shop, i bought the wee cupcake mold and its amazing!!! Thankyou so much for that.
I would love to win the mystery box.
I have become a follower of your 3 blogs, and just 'liked' both of your facebook pages and am about to post a link on my page.
Thank you so much, Annie.

Hello Annie,
DeleteFirst of all, thank you so much for your kind words and for making a purchase from my shop! Don't forget to watch the YouTube video and see how to make cupcakes. Or you could buy my PDF document for a step-by-step guide.
I am sorry to tell you, but this competition closed on March 28th and a winner was selected. Don't worry though - I'll be featuring another competition before long....
Warmest regards,
Caroline x
