Good Mood Giveaways

LONG time, no "talk!"  

Life has been hectic, the business has been hectic, I ended up bumping production time to 4 weeks recently, so my spare time has been spent sewing as of late.  

Now that things are slowing back down, I thought it was high time to compose a blog post again.  And a tutorial!  I have one underway that'll be posted by the end of the week.

I'm in a really good mood, so use code YAY10 for 10% off anything in our shop this week (expires late Friday night).  

And we'll be doing a monthly giveaway!  EVERY MONTH!  On the first of each month, I will use random.org to choose one facebook fan to win a gift certificate to The Blue Swirl.  Depending on the month and my queue, this will vary from $20 to...$100!

I know not everyone has a facebook account, so if you don't and you want in on the chance to win something, we'll also be hosting occasional giveaways to a random newsletter subscriber, too!  These won't be every month, but as often as we can.

So...up your chances by liking us on facebook here and subscribing to our newsletter (we wont spam you and we don't sell info!) here! 

Happy Monday!  And happy almost October!      

And She Shall Be Named Pop-Up Flower.

We had a giveaway on the last blog post.  It was a tiny little giveaway and maybe overshadowed by the tutorial, but thank you to all whopping five entrants.  :)

Honestly, and I'm not just saying this to say it, but I really did love every single name.  Maybe that's why it took me two days to pick a winner.  

But ultimately, I had to go with the Pop-Up Flower because that is totally what this flower reminds me of.  Those little pop-up books I read as a little girl.  

Thanks, Christina M!  I will deliver your Pop-Up Flower clips very soon.  

Be on the look-out for the next flower tutorial, coming pretty soon if I can ever get all my fall stuff put together and presented to you lovelies. 

And the winner is...

Tracey D!  Big thanks to everyone who entered!  Be sure to stay tuned for more giveaways and a sale coming up soon.  

I so appreciate the support, encouragement and kind words that have come my way the past few days.  You guys rock! 

GIVEAWAY! Of the quick variety.

To celebrate reaching 200 fans on facebook, we're giving something away!  I spent a lot of time trying to decide WHAT to give away, but ultimately I decided I would leave it up to the winner.  Easy peasy, right?

So...one winner will have their choice of anything in my etsy store valued under $40!

Aaaaand, this is a quick giveaway.  Just 24 hours - so get your enter on, folks!

To enter, complete any or all of the following, each one will score you ONE entry (and if you do any of the following already, let us know and that counts as an entry).  

Thank you SO much for helping us reach this milestone and we look forward to many more giveaways in the future! 

1.  Let us know your favorite item in our store!

2.  Follow this blog.

3. Like The Blue Swirl on fb.

4.  Follow us on Twitter.

5.  Tweet about the giveaway or share it on fb.

6.  Join our newsletter.  We will NEVER bomboard your inbox or spam you (hearts crossed and poke a needle in our eyes and all that nonsense), but we WILL send out discount codes.  There will always be a 5% off code in our newsletters, but sometimes we'll have bigger sales and we'll announce our new products and more!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
