Grand Prize
for
30 Days of Giveaways at I Have A Notion
First Anniversary Celebration
Isn't it odd that no one asked exactly what was in the Grand Prize? I did talk about a few of the items....but I never told anyone what was in the Grand Prize. Trust is a major component of having a successful business and I thank each and every one of you for that gift. I don't take it for granted.
Before I share what is in the Grand Prize, I would like to share with everyone why I decided to host the 30 Days of Giveaways. This is a portion of the letter I sent to some of the people who have made the last year of my life so interesting and rewarding.
"I Have A Notion" is having it's First Year Anniversary on March 21st, 2010. I want to celebrate by sharing with the blogging community about all of the wonderful people, designers, authors, artists, companies and products that I have been privileged to encounter this past year. So if you are getting this letter, I chose you/your company because I really like your products or designs and I want to share my great experiences with others. Even if you are not able to participate, I want you to know that I truly appreciate doing business with you. Thank you for one of the best years of my life!!!
The Grand Prize idea really belongs to Iris Karp from Attached, Inc. She agreed to send three large packages of Mistyfuse, one for each week, and an 100 yard roll for the Grand Prize. How could I say no.....so thank Iris for the idea not me :)
Contents of the Grand Prize
Mistyfuse White 12in x 100yds
from Attached, Inc.
Jewel Tone Mini Paintstiks
and Snowflake Stencils
from Cedar Canyon Textiles
Roc-lon Multi-Purpose Cloth 24 x 36 inch
from Rockland Industries
from Attached, Inc.
and Snowflake Stencils
from Cedar Canyon Textiles
I specifically saved these for the Grand Prize because I love Shiva Paintstiks from Cedar Canyon Textiles. I "gently borrowed" these photos from the Cedar Canyon Blog. Look what Shelly Stokes is making with the Snowflake Stencils:
Who would not want to be able to embellish quilt blocks, clothing, hand bags, and even suitcases with Shiva Paintstiks? I honestly think these are awesome for the artistically challenged folks like me. I can be successful and make things that look awesome even though I can't draw a decent stick figure (100% truth). Cedar Canyon Textiles also has a Learning Center that answers all of your questions.
