Freebie Day :: Part One

 I've been sorting out my button stock.
All of the buttons I sell by weight are now stored in Sweetie Jars - and don't they look FAB?
They are also very practical and super tidy - but did I also mention that they look FAB?
The new storage also comes hand in hand with new prices - oh yes I have buttony bargains galore!
Colour mixes are now only £1.25 for 50g (or £2 for 100g)
Shaped mixes are now only £2.00 for 50g (or £3.50 for 100g)
 
You can see all the buttons on my website by clicking here and here
But Wait, don't go yet - look at this Jar ::
This Jar is today's Freebie prize!  Oh yes, I couldn't keep all this buttony-amazingness to myself now could I?
 If you would like to win your very own Button Filled Sweetie Jar then look closely at these photos ::
 ...and get your weight guessing head on...
...because the person who guesses how much this Sweetie Jar and all the buttons weighs will win it!
 I've added a few items for a sense of scale
 and nearly broke my arm holding it up like this for the photo! (that's a clue)
I tried to get a photo of me and the jar so you could see how large it is, but the self timer on my camera & I didn't quite nail it:
Haha!
Here are the rules:
To enter just leave a comment on this blog post with your guess at how much the jar and all the buttons weighs (the jar is plastic by the way)
Your guess must be in whole grams
You can have one guess, and one guess only
If more than one person guesses the exact weight the person who commented first will win
If no one guesses the exact weight the next nearest guess will win
If by some crazy chance there is a tie I will split the prize equally (I have more jars, you wouldn't get half a jar!)
I will post this prize anywhere in the world  
CLOSING DATE:
all guesses must be entered by the end of Wednesday 3rd April
The Jar & Buttons will be weighed and the winner will be announced on Thursday 4th April
GOOD LUCK GUESSERS!
