100!

So I'm a little late posting about that really amazing thing that I hinted at last Friday... I was in Wyoming for a few days to visit the husband's family and I was too busy admiring the deer bouncing around along the river at their ranch (and making sure I didn't get eaten by a bear) to get a blog post put together. More about Wyoming tomorrow.

First I wanted to tell you about something that just really made my day. Last Friday afternoon I had sale number 100 in my etsy shop! I think that alone is pretty exciting, but for me it's even more special because I've been so busy with remodeling the house and work and life that I really haven't put any effort into promoting the shop in any way. But somehow people are finding my stuff, and then they actually like it and buy it!

So I want to celebrate, which of course means I'm going to have a little giveaway! Weee!

One person will be randomly chosen to receive two 12-card sets of my letterpress animal cards--one for you and one for a friend of yours (or, if you're like me, both of them for you!).

To enter, just visit the shop and then come back to this message and in the comment section let me know which animal(s) you want. I have lots of animals to choose from, including farm animals, woodland creatures, African animals, animals from the South Pacific, and various breeds of dogs. I'll also be highlighting some of the animals here.

All comments must be received by next Friday, October 22, at noon EST. I'll pick a winner at random and announce that person on Monday the 25th.

To get things started, here's a little preview of some of my other farm animals: the donkey, rooster, sheep, and goat (you can also see the cow and sheep in last Friday's post):

  2. Congratulations on your 100th sale! I found you through Lime in the Coconut and I'm so happy I did, your cards are wonderful! I love the dog set with the Border Collie...I have a BC so that breed is near and dear to my heart! But I also love the farm animals...especially the sheep, since I also own an English Shepherd...another herding breed!

    Thanks for the chance to win some of your wonderful cards!

    Kat :)

  13. Congrats!

    I'm partial to the African and Woodland sets myself, but the hippos, skunks, and elephants are my favorites. I also love those Mountain ones.

    If I ever get around to getting married, you're at the top of my list for invitations.

    =)

  17. Congratulations on the sales! I'm kind of late to the game, but I've been on vacation since the 9th!

    The anniversary cards looked great; I hope you were able to print another set with no trouble.

    Got to cast my ballot with fluffy sheep (for knitting!) and the reindeer (for Christmas!). Yay!

  18. I love all the cards but I lived in Australia for awhile so I love those. Especially the kangaroo with the tiny baby in the pouch!

  21. Hi M!
    Congrats on the 100th sale mile stone!!!
    I love the south pacific critters (eventhough my long time favorites will always be the sheep & border collie). That moose and the dogs are just too darn cute. You've outdone yourself.
    And I loved your post on the sheep seed cards. If I had a shop, I'd call it the 'Sheep Addiction'.
    Your east coast buddy,
    Kelly
