Business Page

This may be a little late, but I'd love to announce that I've opened a Facebook Business page! I'll be posting many more updates and info on the Business Page in between posting on this blog about twice a month.

You can browse photos of items I haven't listed on Etsy yet, you can join a discussion, write a review if you've purchased...and more always to come.

Thanks for reading, as always!

Winners!

Finally got things settled down and some quiet time to find out who the winners are! I used Random.org to select the winners by numbers, which correspond to their posts.

Before we get to the revealing of the winners, I just want to say that I am impressed at how the entries just shot up seemingly overnight. Views to my store and everything has improved. I've also made a few friends along the way! That makes me feel like this was a wonderful success and I'm looking forward to the next time I host a giveaway.

Next, I'll be announcing the wonderful winners and I sure hope that everyone gets a chance to congratulate them!

But first! Everyone worked their tushies off to get entries in...and remember, everyone who participated (and are in USA/Canada) get free shipping on their next order with me online. The free shipping is good up until October! I'll be e-mailing everyone an individual code, so hang on to that! The codes will go out in the next few days. :)

And for the prize winners, I'll be e-mailing you directly as well to inform you that you've won one of the big prizes. There is a 48 hour time frame from the time I send the email to claim the prize before I'll have to draw another winner.

Winners of the $10:
#165 (Jwhiz) jwhizetsy[[at]]hotmail[[dot]]com
#110 (SPAZ) stasew[[at]]hotmail[[dot]]com
#132 (Julia) sugareater[[at]]gmail[[dot]]com

And the winner of the $20 prize:
#43 (D) ddcrazybirds[[at]]gmail[[dot]]com

Big round of applause please!

By the way her stores, all three of them, have some gorgeous jewelry and even destash vintage beads. I'm drooling. Just look at this adorable teapot charm!

On Twitter I had a giveaway...

Unfortunately Twitter has thwarted my attempts by wiping out my ability to track ALL ReTweets of my message. :(

So, I've gathered myself back up and started my first official blog giveaway!

Here's the basic info:
*I will be using Random.org to get the winners.
*Contest will continue until we have -at least- 150 entries.

Slacker...!

Ok, it's about time I stop slacking off. I completely forgot I had started a blog here a while back. Well, it's time to revive this, honestly!

I'll be updating my newer pieces, thoughts, ideas, giveaways (mine and others!). It's just going to be a royal mess of whatever floats my boat.

Prepare and hang on for the ride!
