50th Post Giveaway

What better way to celebrate my 50th post (can't believe there have been that many) than a giveaway. What can you win I hear you ask? Well – you can win one of two packs of cards and tags from my another donkey design range. Each pack will contain 4 cards (three little cupcakes, three little circles boys, robbie robot and terry turtle) and two gift tags (apple theme).

How do you enter – let me count the ways:

1.      “Like” my another donkey design facebook page – there is a convenient link on the right hand side of this blog and then leave me a comment below saying hi

2.      If you already “like” my facebook page – just leave me a comment below telling me your favourite colour

3.      For another entry – head over to my etsy store and leave me a comment below telling me your favourite card / pegs / tags

4.      For another entry – post about the giveaway on your facebook page and leave me a comment below telling me your favourite day of the week (apparently even this is a no no!)

5.      For another entry– tweet about the giveaway and leave me a note below telling me your favourite movie

6.      For another 2 entries – blog about the giveaway and then leave me a note telling me your favourite animal

That is 7 6 possible ways to enter- pick one or do them all!

Entries will close at 5.00 p.m. Monday 25^th October 2010. Family and Friends are of course welcome to enter. PLEASE make sure you leave contact details (if you don't have a facebook, twitter, blog, store etc and you need to leave your email address pls do it in format myemailaddressatheredotcom for privacy reasons) so I can contact the winner.

Yeah – I’m excited. Good Luck!

Blog Lovin Friday – “Calico & Co” and “Thoughts, Comments, Questions”

Moving on from Random Etsy Wednesday, I now declare Friday to be “Blog Lovin’ Friday”. For those that have been following my blog from the beginning you will know I am a newby when it comes to blogs. I am not sure how I have missed them before now, and it is a shame as I had 9 months maternity leave when I could have gone blog wild… anyway, I digress.

Blogs are a wonderful, addictive, informative, entertaining, enlightening and inspiring thing. So for “Blog Lovin’ Friday” I am going to spread the blog love about some of the blogs I come across in my websurfing.

First off the list is Calico & Co – the wonderful blog authored by the equally wonderful Amanda Fuller. I can’t even recall how I first came across Amanda’s blog – but once I did I was well and truly hooked. I would even go so far as to say it was Amanda’s blog that gave me the push to set one up for myself. As well as blogging, Amanda also does Graphic Design work and recently launched her own line of Stationery called lemon tree lane (etsy). Amanda’s blogs are full of beautiful homewares, indie, handmade, interior design, pretty things, stationery and generally she shares what I love on a day to day basis. Amanda also facebooks and tweets

So Ms Fuller – thank you for your blog. You make me blog happy.

Second on the list, is Sarah Allen Consulting’s blog, “Thoughts. Questions.. Comments...”. Now I should disclose straight off the bat that I have known Sarah for some 17+ years, I love her to death and our baby boys are BFF’s. But that aside – Sarah is somewhat of a guru (though she won’t call herself that) when it comes to Social Media. So much so she now makes a living running Social Media workshops and training sessions.

For any small or medium business out there (yes that means anyone with an etsy or made it account) – check out her blog (and website coming soon), follow her on facebook, twitter, linked in and audioboo and I promise you - you will learn something!

Ms Allen – you are a guru in my eyes and thank you for your ongoing coaching and support on all things Social Media!

So that is my first Blog Lovin’ Friday. Take some time – check them out and why not leave me a comment letting me know your favourite blog!
