Come Vote in the Color Palette Challenge

I told you a little while ago that I was participating in the EtsyMom Fall Event - The Color Palette Challenge! Well now's the time to come & vote for your favorite entry & I want to personally invite you to come on over & participate!

Click here to visit the EtsyMom blog to see all of the event entries & get info on how to vote. It's fun, it's quick, & you'd be doing me a favor.

Now I'm not asking you to vote for me in particular! Only if one of my entries is your favorite & you think I stuck to one of the color palettes. Voting is anonymous so no worries there. Again this won't take much of your time so please come vote! I'd appreciate it!

Oh, just for the record...I created some super cute additions to my Washcloth Bib collection. They're up for grabs in my shop & they in this season's fashion color report from Pantone! Here they are!

    

Cedar Flowers & Deep Teal Swirl

I'm In, Are You?

One of the Etsy teams that I'm on...EtsyMom...is having a fun event coming up in October.

It's a color palette challenge. You choose one of the specified color palettes & you create items for your shop using those colors. Then all of the items will be voted on & the winners get to choose a prize from one of the sponsor shops! I'm definitely in & can't wait to see what everyone is making!

Once all the participants products are up on the team website, voting will begin & last for 1 week. Here's where you come in! I need you to go & vote for me! I'll be entering two products & you can vote for either one of them. If I get the most votes I'll be a winner!!

I'll be posting the link to vote when the time comes. Again, it won't be until October, but I wanted to give you a heads up! Thanks so much & wish me luck!

Hugs, Meagan

EtsyMom Treasure Hunt

So my Etsy team - EtsyMoms - is hosting a new event for Valentine's Day. A Treasure Hunt!

What the mess is a Treasure Hunt, you say?

Well it's similar to the blog hop we had at the beginning of December except that you'll be surfing through shops instead of blogs looking for treasure {particular symbols} in the shops listings. Each shop will hide 1 of 3 images in one of their listings, & you have to search for it!

Confusing? Bear with me. You'll start at the EtsyMom Blog where you'll find a list of the participating shops. Imagine that you go to my shop....Baby Swank, & you start with my first listing. You check out all 5 pictures & your looking for one of the specified images hidden in that listing. Yeah, it's small. It's a treasure hunt people...it's not supposed to be obvious! Not in the first listing? Keep going! Once you've found the "treasure" {image}, you will email the URL for the listing that you found the symbol in to etsymomteam@gmail.com. But wait! Only one email! Put all your url's in one email. Viola! You're entered into the giveaway for the prize: items from each of the participating EtsyMom shops. & guess what? There are three prize categories: Grand Prize, Second Place, & Third Place. What a great deal! Whoever has found the most after Feb. 14th wins the Grand Prize!

Here are the images you're looking for!

Good Luck!!

Candy Cane Candle

So today I'm gonna be showing you a cute little holiday craft that's super simple to make and will add a festive touch wherever you put it! It's a Candy Cane Candle!

All you need are some candy canes...any color or flavor, a candle that matches your candy canes, and a hot glue gun.

Next...take all the plastic off your candy canes, and start gluing the candy canes to your candle with the hook part facing out!

 Voila! Like I said, super simple and totally festive! Plus, when you burn your candle it will smell a tad like peppermint...if you got an unscented candle and peppermint candy canes, of course.

Okay, be sure to visit the next blog in the hop...Baby's Indulgence
