Blogtoberfest Giveaway; Chiyogami Pendant

I've built up some Blogtoberfest karma as the winner of the lovely Badskirt's giveaway, **and, stop press, Button Beauty's Fisher Price house giveaway!!** so it's time to do a Blogtober giveaway of my own.

Here's the prize: a chiyogami pendant handmade by me from Japanese Chiyogami paper, glass and a sterling silver plated bail. The bail is large and should fit over your favorite chain or ribbon. The glass is around 50mm x 23mm.

I've done a new batch of these for my Etsy shop, but will I ever get around to putting them there? Not this one anyway, because I'll be drawing a random winner on October 31st at 8pm. That's Australian Eastern Standard Time, which might actually be the day before for you, depending on where you live.

How to enter the draw? Just leave a comment on this post before 8pm on the last day of Blogtober. In your comment tell me where you live, eg. Melbourne's South East. I like to have a mental map! If you don't have a blog, leave your email address so I can contact you if you're the winner. Anyone can enter, not just bloggers, and I'll post worldwide.

Good luck and Happy Blogtober!
