Yes, everything you buy from me is handmade by me! No outsourcing to a factory here... Use your logo, photos or artwork for unique and economical custom promotional materials. Perfect for save the date, business give aways, family reunions, party, wedding or shower favors and gifts. Art Altered Buttons, Badges, Magnets, Pins, Pinbacks, Hand or Pocket Mirrors, Coasters, Flat Backs, Ponytail Holders, Bottle openers.   Custom, wholesale, bulk.

I've picked just a couple pictures out of the many listings that I love.  Day Of The Dead masks are always a favorite with me.

Love these coasters with outdoor critters on them....simply beautiful.

And of course, I have a little "dark" side that loves "Goth Horror Macabre" stuff, as Sam refers to it.  Makes me think of Halloween and that's one of my favorite holidays!

But then there's the side of me that's obsessed with anything Alice In Wonderland...how cute are these?

There are so many cool and unique items available at Art Altered.  You must stop by the shop and take a peek for yourself.

You'll find them listed on Etsy and also Store Envy:

Sneaky Cakes Giveaway



Sneaky Cakes...."Now you see them, now you don't."

This is a yummy edibles company that's based in British Columbia.  We, here at Out Of The Box Sampler, have been fortunate enough to receive some of their goodies for our sampler boxes. 

 Just recently, they were our June Box Sponsor.  Which means that I have a couple items up for giveaways from the lovely "Sneaky Cakes" company!

You'll find one giveaway here, on our blog and the other on our Facebook Giveaway App.  So that's two chances for you to win!

Up for grabs is a two pack:

Great Canadian Beer Can Chicken Rub

and

Best Wedding Ever Rub.

These both smell absolutely delicious, but I can tell you that I've actually used the Chicken Rub from a previous sample that was sent for Out Of The Box Sampler.  I just coated some boneless chicken strips and cooked them on the grill.  So simple and oh so scrumptious!

The Wedding Rub says it's great on pork, or chicken and even sprinkle it on popcorn!

Sneaky Cakes is a great company to add a little sweet or a little sassy spice to your life.  Be sure to check out all the products, that are available, on their website:

Angela's Country Creations Candle Giveaway

  

Angelas Country Creations is an adorable "prim" type candle shop.   You'll find all kinds of wonderfully scented goodies at her shop.  

In April, Angelas Country Creations was our Box Sponsor, here at the Out Of The Box Sampler.  So she sent in a couple items to be used for giveaways.  (psstt...you'll find the other giveaway on our Facebook Giveaway app HERE.)

Available here is this adorable tin can candle, scented in "Seaside Cotton," that's been "grubbied" up to look prim, on the outside. 

This is really cool because, you actually DO NOT burn this candle.  It has a cute battery operated tealight in the center.  So it makes it appear to be a burning candle, but without the flame.

How cute is that?

One winner will be the lucky recipient of this adorable creation!

Open to US Residents only

Good Luck
