This one was HOT!  I told you it would be… and sure enough – everyone wanted these Custom Vintage Spoon Plant Markers.  I can’t blame anyone for wanting in on this one either, because if we could pull our own names… this one would be the time.

We do appreciate everyone who entered and came by, Tweeted… Facebook’d and everything in between – we can’t thank you enough.  Who wants to win!?!  Hell… who doesn’t. haha  Here we go…

Congrats to Carrie (and go check out her blog at A Chocolate Covered To Do List) - we can’t wait to get them in your hands and see pics of them in the garden!  I think everyone is happy to see a winner in this one.

Would also like to thank JLynn Creations for the awesome giveaway – and I hope all you “losers” will head over and buy her out!  Get after it – go get you some!  Check back in for our next giveaway… it is another two-fer.

This one is going to be a hit, I’m telling you – A  HIT!  We scoured Etsy to find the store of JLynn Creations, and her AWESOME Vintage Spoon Plant Markers.  Now hold up… Jacquie doesn’t just do these plant markers… she makes unique custom jewelry as well.  So even though this particular giveaway is for gardening goodies, don’t hesitate to check out her store and pick something up for any occasion.

BUT… this is a giveaway of gardening goodies – and that IS what it is all about.  So for today, let’s focus on these Custom Vintage Spoon Plant Markers.  Check it out first… then we’ll talk.

Pretty cool eh?  We thought so.  So here is the real kicker – they will make your plants grow bigger.  Seriously.  Not really.  I made that up, but the real kicker is that Jacquie has agreed to make them custom for the winner.  What that means is – you shouldn’t have any wasted markers, or have to buy more seeds/plants in order to use a marker.  If you weren’t planning on planting basil BECAUSE YOU KILL IT EVERY YEAR… ahem… then you don’t have to just to use your brand new vintage (wait a second…) spoon plant marker. 

The winner will pick the 4 names to put on the markers – and she will make them for you like you were some superstar or something.  Which you are… really, you are.  How’s that for service?

I’m betting if you contacted JLynn Creations, she would make a whole batch of custom plant markers for you – I’m just guessing.  Go ask her already!  GO!  DO IT!

You should know how to enter now, fill your name/email address in the comments section and then tomorrow we will pull a winner out of a hat.  Well, not really a hat.  More like a random number generator.  Wearing a hat.  This isn’t making a lot of sense is it?  Oh well, these giveaways are starting to get to me… they are making me CRAZY!  Tell your friends!  Tell your neighbors… wait, not that I’m crazy – but about the contest.  Tell them about JLynn Creations and how you found some one-of-a-kind plant markers. 

Until next time… good luck & good gardening!

PS – oh yeah… these things are all one of a kind.  All are silver plated vintage spoons, so they are all different, worn in their own way… each one is stamped by hand/hammer and so each one is different.  As they are in the garden, they will oxidize over time and become even cooler.  If you are one of those people that like ‘em shiny – a simple polish up like any other silverware – and they are shiny again.  I felt like I should talk a bit more about the product, since I just kinda rambled like an idiot.  That is ALL!

How many of you guys/gals out there have kids?  How many of you have a spouse that is basically a kid?  How many of you… are basically a kid? 

**raises hand**

Glad we got that out of the way.  This next giveaway (#3 of 1,202,390.0929) is designed to get kids into gardening early.  This company isn’t sponsoring this one, we actually picked these up a while back from Woot.com in order to giveaway to some of you parents – so gardening could be a family affair.  Cool idea huh?  Well yeah… until we realized we would have to pay for the shipping to each of you guys that win… then it didn’t seem nearly as cool.    We kid… we kid.  Here is what we are giving away.

There were 3 varieties, but since we are into the whole growing your food thing – we picked the veggie kits to give away.  You did not read that wrong – we said… “kits”. Yup, once again – why give away 1 of these… when you could give away 2.  Wait… why give away 2 of these… when you could give away 3!  Day 3 of the giveaways, and we are giving away 3… it is like the 12 days of Christmas over here at Double D!  Except, don’t expect us to go up any higher than 3.  haha 

So this giveaway is for 3 winners, each will get a Quest Learn & Grow Seed Starter Kit (Organic Vegetables).  These kits include – Carrot Seeds, Tomato Seeds & Radish Seeds.  It comes w/ soil, decorative rocks, a mini spray bottle, 6 paints w/ paintbrush (so you can decorate the wooden terrarium and a book to learn more about how to do it all.  In other words, EVERYTHING you will need to get going.

On this one, if you have already won something – don’t sweat it… you can still enter.  We paid for this out of our pockets, so we don’t mind giving them to absolutely anyone that enters – because we make up the rules around here.  That is what you get to do when you are the boss. 

Just like w/ any of these giveaways – it is simple, just leave a comment w/ your name & email addy and we will do the rest.  If you post your comment and you have never posted before here at Double Danger, it will not show up immediately.  We approve every comment, because spammers suck!  So don’t submit 900 of them, thinking you are doing something wrong.  You’re not.  I’m probably slightly drunk and haven’t got to the email to approve your comment yet.  I will – give me time. 

The only difference with this giveaway – we are actually going to run this until Monday morning.  Because it is Easter weekend, and I don’t think anyone wants their product posted on Easter when no one is going to be around to check it out.  So we will run this one for all day today (Saturday) & all day tomorrow (Sunday).  Because… once again, we make the rules.  So get to commenting, get to sharing this on Twitter, Facebook and w/ your friends/enemies/cousins/brothers/sisters/aunts/uncles/neighbors/kids/their kids/grandma/grandpa/the pool boy – whoever might enjoy having these grow kits. 

Until next time… good day & good gardening!
