Tag & Snag to WIN

HOLD THE PHONE!

This promotion has ended. We found out from a friend and sister businesswoman, that Tag and Snags are against Facebook policy. She had successful used them to promote new products in her business until FB contacted her directly. She has since discontinued this type of promo and was kind enough to share her experience with me.

So...my apologies for the short duration of this promo.  A winner will be contacted via FB message and we will go back to the drawing board to come up with new promo ideas.  Suggestions are welcome!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Want to win a pair of Sew Gracious Pillow Covers?

The post starts with "TAG and SNAG".  Click on that picture then tag yourself {even though it's not a picture of you}.  Only one tag per person and please don't tag other people.  You must tag yourself to be entered.  "Liking" the post isn't an entry.

Vinyl Wall Art Giveaway!

You may remember that I love vinyl wall art. It's a great inexpensive way to spruce up your home.

Inexpensive is nice, but how much better can it get?
FREE IS GOOD!

My friend Sally, at Polka Dot Mom, is hosting a giveaway featuring vinyl wall art by >Quote The Walls. I'd rather you not go to Sally's blog to get the details because I'd really like to win this giveaway myself, but now that I've let the cat out of the bag, I guess you'll be throwing your hat in the ring too. Talk about good karma on my part! ;)

So, visit Sally to see what you need to do to enter. Good Luck & let me know if you win! ;-)

My Lucky Day

Remember when I mentioned FREE FABRIC?

Well, as it turns out, Jane decided to give away extra fat quarter bundles. I was one of the fortunate winners! Look at the pretty fabric that I won! :)

Complete with a handwritten message! :)

BIG THANKS to Jane for her generosity & and a great giveaway!

You can still get fabric from Jane too. Visit the LanieJane website or the LanieJane Etsy Shop

FREE FABRIC !!! {giveaway}

Did that get your attention?

Good! ;)

If you sew, the mere whisper of free fabric will get your attention . . . even before a hot-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookie, a steaming latte from Starbucks, crispy french fries or _______________ {insert your own weakness here}.

Well, because I love you all, I'm letting you in a little secret. You will probably create some competition for me because I want to win this fabric too, but hey . . . I'm just sharin' the love.

Jane is hosting a giveaway on her blog. You can win the fat quarter bundle AND the beautiful pendant pictured above. {love THAT} The featured fabric is from the gorgeous AndaLucia Collection by Patty Young of Modkid Boutique for Michael Miller.

Interested? Want to win? Head on over to the LanieJane blog and follow the directions.

I'm thinking: Or don't.

I'm saying: No, really. It's OK if you enter too.

I'm thinking: Please don't. I'd like to win.

love you all! :-)

See & Be Seen : Blog Ads

Remember this post from May? It's about ad space on the the Sew Gracious blog. The amount of daily traffic has just about doubled since the original post so I decided it was time to mention ad space again. If you had been advertising during my giveaway; just imagine how many people would have seen your ad. Over 300 people left a comment. That's probably about half of the number who visited and didn't leave a comment. Think of the exposure you could have gotten! :-)

Well, it's not too late to get in on the excitment! A limited number of blog ads are still available. There's no long term commitment; just renew month-to-month. Skip a month or two if you need to, then pick up again later. I'm easy to get along with! ;-)

The monthly fee is very affordable and comparable to many Project Wonderful ads. You may link to your blog, your Etsy shop, your webspace . . . it's your choice. Remember, I'm easy to get along with!

Some pretty savvy business women are already here!! Pampering Beki has a wonderful Etsy Shop & Blog! Beki is a talented designer & a well-known blogger too! My friend Sally of the Polka Dot Mom blog also has a great website with the cutest things for your girly-girl.

You may also notice an ad for Fabric Gracious. That's my Etsy destash shop! ;-)

So will my ad be at the bottom of the list? No, I rotate the blog ads every day or two. That way, everyone gets a shot at the top spot. If you are the last person to sign up, your ad won't always be at the bottom. Clear as mud? ;-)

How do people find this blog? I promote this blog on Etsy, which brings in ALOT of traffic. I also have the blog address on my business cards (which go out with every order), in the signature of my emails, in the signature of off-Etsy forums that I visit & any other place I can put it with being an obnoxious spammer! ;-)

One of the best ways to promote a blog is to post on other blogs! You can see my blog roll down there in the left menu. Those are just a few of my favorite blogs! I visit & post on several blogs which creates a link right back here. People click & instantly see your ad!

Do you want to gain more exposure for your blog, Etsy shop or website for just a few cents per day? Got a non-animated 125 x 125 or 150 x 150 ad in .jpg , .gif or .png format?

You're good to go!

Email me to set up your ad space today!

Paying It Forward : Win This Quilt

Isn't this beautiful? It's a quilt made by Dana at Old Red Barn Co. She used fabrics from Sandi Henderson's Ginger Bliss Collection. It is beautiful and I would love to win it. Because I believe in paying it forward, I'm letting you know that you have an opportunity to win it too. Click here to see Dana's post and lots more pics of this gorgeous work of art. If YOU win, let me know. :-)
