I'm really excited about this week's giveaway, courtesy of the lovely Diane Gilleland. For those of you who don't know, Diane is the author of the Craftypod blog and the creator of the Craftypod podcast. She is also author of the print book, Kanzashi in Bloom, as well as some full-length e-books on how to create a compelling craft blog and social media presence. In short, Diane is practically Queen of the Craft Blogsphere, and we're very big fans.
As you might imagine, Diane is in a pretty darn good position to offer great tips to folks who want to take both their crafting and their craft blogging to the next level. This spring, she's offering some online classes on how to give your craft blog a tune-up, and this is your chance to win some world-class craft blogging advice from one of our favorite craft bloggers out there. The live class begins on 2/13 and runs through 3/12, while the self-guided class can be done in 2-3 weeks (or at your own pace, of course). You can read about both options and decide which works best for you here.
To enter this giveaway, just leave your comment below or on the corresponding Facebook post, include your Spoonflower screen name, and let us know which class option you'd prefer. Entries close next Tuesday, 2/7 at 7 pm EST, and we'll announce a winner on the blog. Good luck, y'all! Entries for this giveaway are now closed. Thanks to all who entered, and stay tuned for an announcement of the winner on 2/8/12!
Thanks to all the folks who entered last week's giveaway for a year's subscription to Threads Magazine. The winner was Jamie Kalvestran of Wisconsin — congratulations, Jamie!

I’d love the self-guided option. Sounds like a great prize. Kayajoy
Yes, yes! -sammyk
I’d like to do the live class but it would depend on the logistics of it all, so I would probably end up doing the self guided.

I have no ID yet on Spoonflower. If I win I’d like de group session one but it depends on the hours. If not, I’ll be pleased with the self-paced one!
My blog could use an overhaul. My spoonflower ID is -claudine-.

This would be a wonderful class and just what I need right now. lydianna
Thanks to my rather slow satellite internet, I think I’d have to go with the self-guided class, but any advice from Sister Diane would be greatly appreciated! You can find me here on Spoonflower as craftystaci.
As this is the year in which I purpose to grow my business, both with building an online following and with classes, shows, etc., the timing for this giveaway couldn’t be more perfect. I have just switched over to a WordPress blog format, and am still learning how to make my blog a true “place of holding”-never ending ideas, inspiration and tutorials. My Spoonflower name is designsbyanna, my Twitter handle is @FELTit, my blog is http://www.annasplaceofholding.com
Thanks for the offer of your self directed course-keeping my fingers crossed!

Hi, my Spoonflower user name is shanknits. I have a really unpredictable work schedule, so I think I would prefer the self-guided version of the class. Thanks for the chance to win!
