All Things Hold Together

A blog about cooking, crafting, faith, family…you know, the good stuff.

I finally decided to take the plunge and start a website to promote and sell some of the things that I make.

Right now, I am focusing on wire tree sculptures and soaps. These are things that I have made for other people and given as gifts, with very warm reception, so I thought it would be a good place to start.

Later this week, I will list some items on Etsy, but right now, I do have my website up for Designs by Charity Tensel.

This week, as part of the great bloggy giveaway extravaganza, Fall Y’all, I am offering a wire tree sculpture to one lucky winner.

This tree sculpture will be similar to the first one pictured on the Wire Tree Sculptures page of Designs by Charity Tensel. I am crafting this exclusively for the winner of this giveaway, but I should have a picture up later this week.

In order to be entered, leave a comment on this post. That’s it! Please leave only one entry, though. Unless….

For a second entry, post about this giveaway on your blog, with a link to this post and a link to Designs by Charity Tensel. Then come back and leave another comment with the link to your post.

A winner will be randomly selected on Sunday at 5:00 PM EST.

Prize includes shipping to any of the 48 contiguous United States. (Please contact me if you live elsewhere. I might be able to arrange something.)

And be sure to check out the other great giveaways at the Fall Y’all bloggy giveaway.

    wow your tree is really beautiful. I would love to have it. It would look great on my brand new table. I lost so many things when I had to move after being in my home for over 20 years. Because of the house next door my home got a mold problem and so much stuff was damaged by the mold. I was just able to replace the table this month after moving 6 months ago.
