Welcome to IBW day 2…or should I say, welcome back to Wonderland.
I left you on a bit of cliff-hanger yesterday. Did Alice make it into the garden of flowers?
IBW day 2…Nothing is as it seems…
Every day during International Beading Week, I’m going to be offering you some HUGE sale bargains on beading patterns.
You will be able to find these here on my Beadflowers website and also in my Etsy store. So, even if you can’t shop on Beadflowers, you won’t be missing out.
Each day’s sale patterns will be linked to Alice’s adventure. So, you’re going to have to hunt out the bargains, but I will give you some clues…
Today, in addition to your sale bargains, I’ve also got a little competition for you to enter…
Your clues to the sale
I’m sorry to say that Alice didn’t make it into the garden…yet. As her journey through Wonderland continued she repeatedly found herself wondering whether she had become mad. After all, if you were constantly shrinking and growing, wouldn’t you fear the same…?
So, throughout the book, she tries to test herself by remembering rhymes and poems and facts that she has learned.
Unfortunately, this isn’t helpful. Her attempt to recite the nursery rhyme, ‘Twinkle, twinkle little star‘ comes out rather wrong…
Twinkle, twinkle little bat
How I wonder what you’re at.
Up above the world so high,
Like a tea-tray in the sky.
Over to you…
So, will those clues lead you to the IBW day 2 sale patterns? You can use the search bar at the top of this page to type in your clues and see what comes up. Or, you can use this link to go to my Etsy store and look for them in there.
Another little contest
If that has you baffled, try this…Nothing is quite as it seems in Wonderland. And there is also something amiss in my Bee Hotel.
So, can you spot the problem in the photo below? Once you have the answer, use this link to complete your entry form. And, if you’re struggling to see it, the entry form does include some more help… The competition closes on 1st August 2021, and everyone who spots the correct answer will win a brilliant mystery prize. I also have consolation prizes for those of you who need them!… Much like the Caucus race, everyone’s a winner in this contest!
Win a £50 Gift Card
All week, I’m going to be running a prize draw. At the end of the week, one lucky person will be winning a £50 gift card to spend either on the Beadflowers website, or in my Etsy store (winners choice).
In order to enter the prize draw, you need to correctly answer one question…
Which creature that features in ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’ am I talking about in the clue below, and how many of my published beading patterns on the Beadflowers website, on or after 30th July 2021, feature that creature?
Your Clue for IBW day 2
The chicks belonging to this creature are grey when they hatch.
How to enter the prize draw
Don’t worry if you haven’t got the answer yet…I’ll be giving you a new clue every day. Each clue will refer to the same creature. So, if you can’t get it from one, you may be able to work it out from another clue, or by combining several clues.
You will also notice that I’ve asked you about the number of patterns featuring that creature. So, you’ll need to check that as well. And please note – it is the number of patterns on the Beadflowers website, not in my Etsy store or anywhere else.
Entries will close at 10am on 2nd August 2021. So, you need to get your entry in before then.
The winner will be drawn, at random, from all the correct entries, and contacted via email by 7th August 2021.
Anyone from anywhere in the world can enter. The results are final and disputes will not be entered into.
What else can you do on IBW day 2?
You can enter the £10 coupon challenge…
I have set up a coupon code that will give you £10 off beading patterns on the Beadflowers website or in my Etsy store. The challenge is, you need to collect up four specific patterns in order to reveal the coupon code.
You an also enroll on the Bee Hotel bead along. You’ve only got a few days left until it closes, and it’s not going to be repeated. So, yes, I am going to keep reminding everyone about this because I really don’t want you to be the one that ends up regretting missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
So, if you’re not enrolled yet, follow this link to grab your place while you still can.
And, then of course, you’ll want to check back in for the rest of this week’s events. So, remember to do that every day. And don’t be like the White Rabbit… If you’re late, you might miss something important!
You can use this link to follow the adventures every single day.
