FINALLY! Give A-Way information and more....

Hope you are all enjoying the season and aren't too cold! I've been down with the flu for a week so missed getting this info to you last week...I am sorry for that...

So...here's the skinny on the give-away....:O)

I have given myself a goal to reach by the first of the year...I want to increase my facebook fan page followers to 150 and I am wanting to increase my blog followers that are actually tagged as followers to 25. I am also setting a goal that my followers will be active and participate via comments etc. I would love your feedback on things I'm doing, and also stuff you'd be interested in seeing. I'm working on some new classes and some home party type classes too. I'm excited to announce them in another week or so...just need to finish up the details when I get a minute.

With all of these goals in mind I thought it would be cool to give back to all of you who have referred me and are referring me....so I'm offering three fun give-a-ways that you will receive in time for Christmas whoever the winners are...One less gift to purchase...or, keep it for yourself and enjoy! :D My plan is to do give-a-ways every couple of months to keep things fun and to give some fun new products away...I'll probably include some tried and true favorites as well....:D So now on to the details...

Christmas Give-A-Way #1

You will receive this:





Cute Mrs. Clause apron modeled by Kaleigh aka: the drama queen, and the K of MK Collection (my clothing line if you didn't know). This apron will fit older children through plus sized ladies...very versatile and so much fun for holiday baking!

How you can win this apron:


You will receive entries for all of the following (the more you do, the better your chances are of winning...:D)

1. For every comment here or on my facebook fan page found here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lake-Side-Sewing-Boutique/207131720773 you will receive one entry...the more you comment the more entries you get. :D

2. For every person you refer to my fan page and they choose to "like" me (sounds pathetic I know...but I'm marketing people :D) you will get an entry. The way I will keep track of this (this is important....)
is that they will need to make a comment and include your name in the comment so I can give the correct person the credit. New followers and fans are able to participate in this point gathering too. :D

3. If you offer me a suggestion for a new product, that'll earn a point.

4. If you make a purchase from me either from facebook, the blog or my etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop/mkcollection you'll earn an entry.

So...with all those ways to earn entries...ladies and gents...let the games begin! :D I'll be posting two more gifts later today...there will be a first, second and third place winner for this contest...and remember...I'm planning to do this again relatively soon...

Thanks so much for all your support and love. I really appreciate it! Happy holidays to all of you and your families from me and mine!

Oh dear....I find that we are already in December...could someone please tell me where October and November went to...I seem to have lost them somewhere....I've been looking in all the corners of my shop and they are definately gone...:( So...I guess we move on to Christmas and winter!

I have some lovely things in my boutique that are perfect for Christmas gifts....and I'm always available to do custom work as well. The website is up and running...still have a few tweaks to do but it is functioning. yeah! I've also been listing on etsy....at the end of my post, look for some links to find me!

I need to boost my readership from just a handful to many many many....so...very soon on facebook and here you will be seeing a give-a-way or two, just in time for the holidays....think something for santa to leave in a stocking and something for Mom to use....More to follow in the next day or two.

I'm making an early New Years Resolution to try and update the blog at least 3 times a week. I'm shooting for Monday, Wednesday and Friday or Saturday depending....

Check out these things...they can all be found in the shop! I'm also doing make it and take it Saturday's for kids. Mom's and Dad's you can bring your little ones into the shop and either come back in an hour, or have fun making some projects for gifts with your child. This weekend we are working on several Christmas ornaments. The kids can complete the project in the time frame allowed and wrap it here to take with them for under the tree. I'm gearing these projects for kids 3-12, younger and older are certainly able to participate as well....the younger set might need a helping hand, the older set might not take as long to complete said projects. Come on by and join in on the fun! 9-12 open house style.
