Competition Time


It's Competition Time!

Guess how many individual buttons I have sold or given away since I began making them in June 2010, until 5pm 31st December 2012.  The closest guess will win a $25 voucher for Buttons by BenjiPlus, there will be a random draw for all entries for another $25 voucher.


Before we get into the details - if it's buttons you're after, head over to the Ready Right Now section.  

So, back to the competition.  With the magic of Excel, I have added, calculated and added again and I now have the magic figure safely tucked away, which includes all the individual buttons I have sold, plus any I have given away in competitions and promotions.  

I'll give you a wee clue - I have used over 7kg of polymer clay!

How to enter.  Simply email your guess to fuzzimama@hotmail.com with the following information:


Name (first and last please - not for publication):
Nickname* (to identify yourself and check your number of entries)
Email address
Guess

This will earn you one entry into the competition.  

Want an extra entry?  Tell a friend, who hasn't already entered, and when they enter, they need to complete the following:

Name (first and last please - not for publication):
Nickname* (to identify yourself and check your number of entries)
Email address
Guess
Recommended by (first and last name and email address).

You and your friend will both gain an extra entry into the random draw.

And to keep you guessing, if you correctly name three countries (other than New Zealand) to which I have posted Buttons by Benji I will give you one extra entry into the random draw.  So, don't be...

...get your thinking caps on and your entries in.  Competition closes 5pm Monday 7th January and the winners will be announced soon after. One guess per person please.

You can check your entries here.

*I will periodically list the entrants, using nicknames only, and you are free to choose anything you like for this, just remember what you tell me if you want to check your entries.
Only redeemable for buttons and voucher expires 30 June 2013.

I've been baking, and its not all about Christmas cake and hot mince pies any more (that was last week).
