calendars and mommy calling cards

Once again I'm completely amazed by the generosity of strangers! I was hesitant to put any requirements on my latest giveaway besides just leaving a comment, but now I'm so glad I did. I'm absolutely thrilled with the response - there have been so many great suggestions that I never would have thought of on my own!

I'll definitely be doing 2009 calendars and mommy calling cards; I hope to have them in my shop by sometime next week. And then there are about 20 more ideas I'm excited to start working on! Thank you so much to everyone who has entered and taken the time to share their ideas with me!

$50 gift certificate giveaway!

It’s time for another Bloggy Giveaway...

Prize: A $50 Sarah & Abraham gift certificate! Here are a few examples of Sarah & Abraham products:

:: personalized stationery, folded or flat
:: invitations
:: birth announcements:: personalized holiday cards and return address labels:: 8x10 Personalized Prints

Requirements: I'm in need of some fresh ideas and inspiration! I've received so many great suggestions from my blog readers in the past, so for this giveaway I'm asking you to post a comment with any sort of suggestion for a new product or a variation on any of my existing products. (If you're not already familiar with my current products, please visit my website before posting your comment!)

If you like an idea that's already been suggested in a comment before yours, feel free to mention that, but comments that are merely repeating a previous suggestion won't be considered as entries for this giveaway.

Be sure to include a way for me to contact you if you're the winner! You don’t have to have a blog to win, but be sure to leave your email address if you don’t have one.

Details: This contest ends Saturday, November 1st, 2008 at 12pm CST. I'll draw one winner at random from all valid entries and will notify the winner by blog or email that they've won. The gift certificate will be sent via email.

Thank you for your time and consideration... I'm really looking forward to reading your comments and creating some new items for my shop!

*** UPDATE: Thank you so much for all the great suggestions! I've already posted Mommy Calling Cards in my shop and will continue to add more new items in the coming weeks including calendars and gift tag stickers. I've also picked a winner at random... congratulations to Alaina!!!

I {heart} Daily Candy

I was featured in the Chicago Kids edition of Daily Candy this morning! The article was posted/emailed about two hours ago, and I've gotten 8 orders and several inquiries already!

my little helper

My 3-year-old daughter didn't want to leave my side this morning, so I started showing her what I was working on, and she was thrilled to help me fill some orders and re-stock supplies. She eventually got bored and went off to play, but for a little while at least it was really nice to have some company!
