Facebook Fan Giveaway!

In order to promote my crafty goodness I am hosting a FB giveaway.

As of 8/9/2011 I have 27 fans! Thank you for your support! The last few months have been fun and I'm glad you were there to help keep me motivated and believing in myself!

Please Show your support again by sharing my page (http://www.facebook.com/DreamersAlcove) with your friends.

As a thank you, when I reach 50 fans, I will give away a pair of Swarovski crystal earrings, and when I reach 100 fans, I will give away a Swarovski crystal bracelet.

Both pieces will be made with the winner's choice of Swarovski colors and in your choice of one of these 2 styles.

• You must "Like" my Facebook page to be entered in the drawing, as an added bonus FB fans have access to "fan exclusive" discount codes and the "inside scoop" on upcoming discounts.
• Share it with as many of your FB friends as you'd like. There is even an event listing you can just "share" to make it easier for you!

Loverdoodles: Pocket Mirrors and Wedding Favors

Have you ever been out and desperately needed a mirror to check your lipstick... only to find the ladies room bursting with people and you can't get to one? Have a teen that complains she doesn't wear her elastics for her bracelets because she never has time to get to the bathroom mirror?  Do you like to check your makeup before going into an appointment? Do you just like cute, adorable, handmade things that support today's at home working woman?

If you answered yes to any of these questions I have some news for you!

Emily over on Etsy at Loverdoodles is just one of those women making wonderful things for our enjoyment. I am a repeat customer, having sent these out to friends and family any time I needed a little gift in the past 3-4 months since I found her.

They are excellent quality with a clear mirror- no distorted noses or tiny imperfections looking like it takes over your face. She will also do her best to accommodate any customization you need, like initials and small coloring changes. These made excellent stocking stuffers for Christmas and I can't wait to see the reaction when the girls see them!

I Love my Wallet Giveaway!!!

I love my wallet. I'm not usually into fads, but really I can hold a ton of stuff in this thing. There's at least 2 cards in each of the card slots, in the back there are coupons that haven't seen the light of day since late 2009, coins, gobs of old receipts.. they fit.

Well, they're a pretty penny and I had to look high and lo to find the one I have. Took me months... literally. Today I walked in to Wal-Green's to get more sunblock (stocking up for summer) and I got a GREAT deal on them. I got one for my daughter (red) one for my sister in law (purple) and one to give away (awesome stripes!).

To enter leave a separate message telling me you have:

1. Followed me
2. Grabbed my share button on the bottom of the page to share me on your blog
3. Blogged about my giveaway

You don't have to do all 3 but each step/comment is an entry and greatly appreciated :)

Winner will be drawn via random.org in one week on Friday, April 23!

As usual the cute model is not part of the giveaway :)

Starting with a give away!!!!!

GIVEAWAY CLOSED! Congrats to my winners! Check back often for more giveaways!

I have been inspired by my friend Kelly. She has an awesome blog, and I missed her dog collar giveaway, but I am giving her a shout out anyway!! BTW, I could stomp myself for missing that... I'll have to walk my dog on leash every time the snot has to go potty at the new apartment rather than just let her out the door like I can here at the house...

Anyway, Kelly unknowingly inspired me to start over with my "daily" blog that has been sitting around hopeless for YEARS. So today I broke out the PSP, pics of the fam, and some awesome graphics I got at March's Blog Train and woke this site up with some freshness!

I'll use the blog to post random thoughts, dreams, and ideas and most likely x-post my other blogs a bit (kids and food.. can't get much better than that!) I'm sure my TMP girls will be here and they'll get tired of hearing the same rants I have on teh board, but hey.. you love me, right?

I'm not sure where it will take us, but I am starting off with a giveaway!

I will soon be moving to North Carolina and during my trip there I got a set of note cards based on paintings from ArtWithHearts Duke Collection that shares the beauty I am to behold once there.

Disclaimer: The cute blue-eyed blond who demanded to be in the picture is not part of THIS particular give away :)

These 4 cards are reproductions of paintings by 1973 Duke graduate, and Art with Hearts founder, Steven R Miller: The Inn, the golf course, the Sarah P. Duke Memorial Gardens, and Duke Chapel - They come in a vellum envelope with a card about the artist and mailing envelopes.

Now, Kelly left her dog collar giveaway open for 3 days, but I'm going to leave mine open for 3 days or 20 followers. That means get your rear ends out there and give me some shout outs!!!!!!!!
