Etsy Greetings Carnival Giveaway

I'm participating in the Etsy Greetings Team Carnival this week! For those who have never heard of Etsy, or Etsy Greetings, Etsy is a site similar to Ebay where people like me can sell handmade and vintage items. Etsy Greetings is a group of people who have shops on Etsy that sell greeting cards.

So this week you can enter to win some handmade goodies at participating Etsy Greetings Team member blogs or directly in their shops.


What can you win here?


Sentimental Journey is more than just greeting cards, although cards make up the majority of the inventory, so I'm giving away something new that I haven't even offered in my shop yet!



This is an upcycled composition notebook. It's my first one, so there was a little bit of a learning curve, but I think it turned out pretty good. I'll be making more and they'll debut in my shop in a few days/weeks (whenever I get around to it!).


I'm also giving away 3 of my cards, type and style to be determined. Maybe I'll let the winner influence my choice.


Here's how you win and the rules/regulations and such:


1. For one entry, please leave a comment. You can comment anything except just "enter me." Tell me a joke, tell me how cute my kids are, tell me how much you love my blog, link to your favorite YouTube video or suggest songs for my iPod. I don't care what you comment, but make it a real comment and not just "I'd love to win."


2. For another entry (and to see examples of the cards you could win) visit my etsy shop (http://sentimentaljourney.etsy.com/) pick at least one item and mark it as a favorite. Then come back here and leave another comment with your etsy username and the item that you marked.


3. You can earn a third entry by subscribing to my blog, and leaving another comment letting me know you've subscribed. If you're already a subscriber, that counts. Leave another comment to let me know.


4. This giveaway is open to those with US and Canadian addresses. Please make sure that you leave an email address that I can contact you at if you win, or if you have a blog that your email address is easily found.


5. I will stop taking entries on Friday November 21st at noon CST.


Good luck!

Now head to the Etsy Greetings blog and enter the rest of the giveaways!

P.S. I noticed since I bought my new domain that my Technorati ranking tanked. If you've linked to me, could you please, pretty please update your links? I'd appreciate it immensely.

I saw a lady at the craft sale this weekend who was selling notebooks like that, I thought those were very cool, but yours is much better! I picked the caterpillar birthday card as my favorite and have it book marked.

We just re finished my 7 year olds room into highschool musical..(looks like you have cute kids and I am sure you know all about that!) this notebook is sooo adorable and will match so cute!!!!! The colors are prefect and just add to it. She is so into journaling, drawing and making little notes and letters its a perfect match and she would be thrilled to open it Christmas morning!

I have my nighstand and purse littered with notebooks of all sizes and kinds, where I've jotted down many ideas, lines, quotes. There's one in my purse now filled with lines I've written that I can no longer read! It's a wonder I used to be a journalist!

Inspiring project!

Damselfly said...

Oh my goodness! I completely missed that you have your own domain! So your Technorati rating tanked, but did you find that everything else went smoothly? Because I am thinking about doing that at Growing A Life. Have you tried Feedburner? I use that for my other blog, but was afraid to switch at GAL because I thought I might screw up the feed subscriptions.

Anyway.

You are fabulous. Your notebook looks great too. You are always doing something creative.
