It's On - The Crafty Ireland St Patrick's Day Treasure Hunt 2010

Game on! The 2010 Crafty Ireland St Patrick's Day Treasure Hunt is now on. Hidden in our members shops are 13 letters, find them all and work out the jumbled phrase and you could win over €150 worth of fabulous, wondrous, stupendous original goodies from a selection of the Crafty Ireland team. Wowzers!

*** Deadline is now extended to March 31 due to overwhelming demand ***


Use the SHOP DIRECTORY listing on the sidebar to the right to start hunting through our team's shops on Etsy. The letter will be the last image of an item listing, and the shop will have a blurb in their welcome text letting you know if they are hiding one of the letters, so you'll know if you're in the right place. We've even given you clues to the next shop in the trail with each letter you find! The hidden letter will look something like the above image.

After you get your next clue you'll need to come back to the SHOP DIRECTORY over there to the right and scroll through to find your next shop, as the clues will be targeted on the shop name.

Once you've found the 13 letters, work out the jumbled phrase and convo Ruth at nicedaysupplies.etsy.com or email her with your answer:
ruthcrean [at] yahoo.ie

All entries MUST be received by midnight (Irish time) on St Patrick's Day, March 17.
*** Deadline is now extended to March 31 due to overwhelming demand ***

All correct entries will be put in a hat and a winner drawn at random ... and he or she will receive a fantastic goodie pack of a selection of items from the Crafty Ireland team worth more than €150. Talk about beating the credit crunch!

To keep it fair, Crafty Ireland team members are not eligible to enter ... boo hoo ... but your family, friends, random acquaintances are all welcome. So give them a gentle poke on your behalf.

And because we're REALLY kind, we think this is an AMAZING competition. There's your first clue (hint, hint... Amazing ... go look in the Shop Directory for someone Amazing) so good luck and happy hunting. This is an international giveaway so no need to worry if you live on the other side of the world, we will still ship your prize to you. We're kind like that!

  3. Ooakie, it's a phrase, so perhaps not just a word ... maybe that gives you a hint

    Clearly I can be smug about it as I was part of the creation process!

  5. Okay so I have all the letters and I can make a bunch of anagrams, but none of them make sense as a phrase!

  7. Yes, like is it a common phrase or does it have something to do with St. Pats?
