ORIGINAL-POST: yes, tis a wee TOYSREVIL End-2007 blog-giveaway, with 4 lucky winners getting some new prezzies to start off their 2008 with! ... this is my little way of showing appreciation for all who've supported this humble blog of mine all this while (and hopefully will continue to ;p) and to also welcome (and hopefully entice) new readers LOL

PRIZES:
1ST PRIZE:
/// a Customed MARTY MOLE done by my own quivering-hands!
(Marty courtesy of Crazy Label / custom-intent approved by Marty-creator, Metin Seven! LOL)

but you have a choice! - in the event the winner does not want the completed customed-Marty, he/she will have the option of receiving instead a Regular Marty Mole (who comes with his own handsome draw-string baggie) and a Tara McPherson Lonely Hearts Stationary-set! (yes, this is to spare me the indignity and humiliation of anyone not really wanting a custom by me :p)


the "trick" being: the Marty-custom is yet to be completed! - heck, i haven't even decided on the final "design" yet (but at least i primed it already! LOL) and may even possibly go beyond the dateline of end-2007 ... regardless, i will keep track of it online on this blog, for all and sundry to witness my torrid attempts! (*i aim to entertain*) ;p

and yes, i know it may be no great shakes to most folks, but i'd want be able to give-away something that i've done with my own hands, even if it is by desecrating an existing lovable Mole (sorry Metin! :p) *muahahahahaha*

2ND PRIZE:
/// a complete-set of 3 TAMO DIY-Blanks! (shown AS-IS / prizes courtesy of Crazy Label)

3RD PRIZE:
/// a Hellboy Animated-set, consisting of: a Journal + Stationary Set + a Right-Hand-Of-Doom and Hellboy magnet-each! (SHOWN AS-IS / prizes courtesy of Dark Horse)


4TH PRIZE:
/// a Gloomy Bear set consisting of: a Journal + Stationary Set! (prizes courtesy of Dark Horse)


i would dearly have loved to give away seven prizes, but alas i have not enuff luv to spread around (sounds wrong but you know what i mean!) ... maybe by February i might have more to give? = when i "celebrate" the 3rd year of cyber-existence for thy blog :p (*shameless-hint to potential-prize-sponsors*)

HOW TO ENTER:
/// just leave your name and (working) email address in the comments section**! or you can choose drop me a PM @ toysrevil [at] yahoo [dot] com (*note: there will be NO acknowledgment of email-received)

/// **all i ask of you folks is if you could leave behind some feedback (however long or short) about my blog and how it's doing so far, for you as a reader, yeh? i welcome suggestions as well, like: what can be improved on, what you'd like to see more or less of, whether i need to make my blog prettier etc = basically to help me improve my blog! all comments would be taken into consideration :) ... but if you reeeeeally don't want to, no worries - just leave your email addie.
