GIVE AWAY (please read all of the details so there is no disappointment and that you understand everything)!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~PLEASE READ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Hey gang. For those of you who don’t know, my name is Amber. This is my first give away and I am making it unique. I am not doing one giveaway… or two giveaways… I am doing FOUR separate giveaways! ^_^ 

A quick run down of “rules” if you will. I ask that:

  • You follow me (especially if you like gemstones, crystals and mineral (specimens) for my blog consist of my collection and I adore showing it off).
  • You try not to reblog more than say… five or six times a day, for the soul purpose of not coming off as spam and annoying fellow followers who just may not be into this sort of thing.
  • If you have questions please contact me, though the “ask” button on my blog. I am very easy going and will reply as soon as I can (anons welcomed).

I will use a numbers generator to pick the random four winners. If you’re contacted, YOU GET TO CHOOSE which of the four giveaways you want. I will say you’ve won, give you my e-mail address so I can get your information (if you want to give it on tumblr too, that’s fine. I just figured e-mail would be more private). Now, here is information on the giveaways:

Giveaway one:  4 snow flake obsidian, 3 pieces of peacock ore and 11 small pieces of fluorite. The fluorite is very colorful and has been though (what seems to me) several of the tumbling stages, but does not have a shine to them. The Peacock ore it rough and one of the snow flake obsidians is also rough,too.

Giveaway two: 9 pieces of Barcciated Jasper, one of which is rough. 12 small, colorful pieces of fluorite. 

Giveaway three: 1 piece of agate (which is a little rough looking, but has a smooth finish. A nice sized piece). 10 small pieces of fluorite 7 nearly flawless, polished pieces of hematite.

Giveaway four: In this giveaway there is a lot more because the gemstones here are small (I figured they could be used for wire warping) and again, appear as though they have been though the tumbler without getting the final step (the polishing step). A few of these gemstones are a little dinged and rough looking but if done right, I think would make a unique piece of jewelry ^_^ Here is what’s in this giveaway: 54 small pieces of  fluorite, 3 small pieces of agate and 15 other small, random assortment of gemstones (mostly I haven’t a clue what they are lol).

(The fifth photo is of all the gemstones in their separate baggies.)

I will let this giveaway go for a few weeks if not an entire month, not only to be fair, but to get as many followers as I can. I will also be making this a habbit (giveaways that is).

I will ship anywhere in the world—at no cost to you, if I can (I will do research about sending items such as these to your country, just to make sure there wont be any hardship in you retrieving them though customs). 

Again, any questions, please don’t be afraid to ask.

Sure it’s a small giveaway and not the greatest, but I think a great place to start. Thank you in advance to the new followers!

Have fun! ^_^!!

This keeps looking like a crater or canyon to me.  It’s dizzying.

Can we take a moment to appreciate naked Raiden

How come there’s no shot of him cartwheeling at the camera?  That was the entire point of this scene.

Why I generally leave spellcheck off in Google Docs.

WORDS GOOGLE DOESN’T THINK ARE WORDS/REDLINED ON ME:

hiss (his? what?)
heels (heel’s… why??)
paced (packed.  because apparently nobody could ever use ‘paced’.”
they’re (theyre.  Wait what?? The apostrophe isn’t proper?)
balloon’s (as in, a string that is tied to a balloon is the ‘balloon’s string’. it wants ‘balloons’.)
gruffed (It wants it to be ‘gruffudd’ what the fuck?)
though (SERIOUSLY?! ‘through’ or ‘thought’.)
the (……)
separated (wants it to be ‘separates’.  Despite all the past-tense verbs in the sentence before it.)
she’s (WANTS IT TO BE ‘he’s’…. FUCK YOU SEXIST GOOGLE)
cittern’s (Yet another ‘you ONLY could be talking about plurals, you can’t possibly be talking about something that is PART OF the object in question.’)
grasping (‘gripping’ google y u no like synonyms)
hushes (‘houses’ should I be worried…)
stomped (‘stepped’ I am detecting some disdain for colorful imagery.)

Welp, that was fun… and worthy of a thousand facepalms.
