Wow. July sure has gone fast. The Big Give is almost done for 2010. In a couple of days we'll be posting all of the submissions from our Givers, and then our judges will go to work on the challenging task of choosing a winner.

Don't forget to visit each of our entrants blogs (you can find a full list here) to check out what they've been up to with their $20, and don't forget to always give with a smile on your face.

In the meantime, we asked the amazing Wade Johnston to answer Three Questions on video. Wade is our music guru, and the lucky rabbit who wins TBG will get the chance to chat with him in IM about all things related to making music on the internet.

Giver updates and Three Questions with Una LaMarche

I have two very exciting things to announce today.

Three weeks in, we've received our first progress report from one of our Givers. Megan posted the first part of her Give, and you can read it over here. Remember to check out The Givers page to meet all eleven entrants in TBG, and visit their blogs to check on their progress.

Secondly, the wonderful Una LaMarche has answered Three Questions for us. Una blogs at The Sassy Curmudgeon and is our blogging guru. For more of what that means, check out the Prize Pack section of this blog.

TBG on Youtube

Phew. It's been a crazy couple of days with processing the registrations for TBG, but I'm excited to announce that we have eleven Givers, and you can follow their progress right here, with regular updates.

I'm also excited to announce that TBG is on Youtube. The channel is something we'd been planning since the launch of TBG, and after several false starts, multiple computer glitches and a crashed laptop in Ireland, we're finally good to go with Three Questions from the lovely Nel from Finding Rabbit. Check out her contribution to the TBG prize pack over here, visit Nel's blog here and watch this little clip here:

1) What's the nicest thing anyone's ever done for you?

I'm so blessed to have such a great family and friends circle who always shower me with cute suprises or are there ready to support and believe in my dreams. whether its a bunch of lillies from mum because she knows there my favourites and ive had a hard day, or a fishing rod from dave n steve because they know that ive always wanted to take up fishing, or a trip to Melbourne with all costs paid for by dad ....

2) If you could makes someone's day, what would you do?

I would pop down to my sister in Sydney whos doing her first year at Uni and would go exploring, finding cute boutiques, old bookstores and small cafes which made quality chai soy lattes.

3) Tell us a little about your contribution to the TBG prize pack.

My small gift consists of cards, tags and writting paper, all made from recycled materials. All goodies are unique, hand designed, hand crafted and have details such as stitching, buttons and water colour brush strokes for that handmade, just for you feel. The cards are perfect for sending a smile, hug or thankyou. The writting paper is ready and waiting for you to start scribbling sweet love letters, jotting down thoughts and planning some grand adventures. The tags are a perfect, personal touch for a gift for that special someone. enjoy these little pieces of my heart x

Three Questions with Stella from Ganbayo

Stella is one of the generous bunnies who has contributed to our prize pack. We asked her to answer three questions so we could get to know her a little better.

1) What's the nicest thing anyone's ever done for you?

I can't think of any specific thing, but I feel lucky enough to have people near me, who love me and care for me. What can be nicer than that?


2) If you could makes someone's day, what would you do?

the first thing that comes to my mind is taking care a homeless person. I would like to give him or her the opportunity to have a home, to eat homemade food and have a hot bath. I wish this could be true and not only for a day.




3) Tell us about the necklace you've given to the TBG prize pack.

This necklace is one of my favorites creations. I love the soft fabric, the circles and this blue color! Since I was a child I've been observing my grand mother and mother creating traditional cypriot knitwear.These women have inspired me to put my own creativity into use. My intention is to express myself through my jewellery with the hope that a part of my sunny disposition will reach the people who own them!
