ALL of this could be yours!
Happy 2 years! 2 years of what? Putting up with all my silly blogging nonsense! Tomorrow is my official 2 yr. blogiversary, and I never know what the appropriate gifts are for each specific year. Is 2 years supposed to be paper? Maybe it’s gold, but that seems pricey? So I think I will just go with my own thing and give you something completely original–$320 worth of awesome!!
What’s that? Yes, a prize package worth $320! Here is how this works: I am all kinds of excited about my big day, so I am giving you the prizes because I love you all and I really appreciate you following along. See, this blogging thing was never supposed to be anything. And then it kind of became a big something in my life. So I thought, “How better to celebrate 2 yrs. of this own little business of mine than sharing the businesses of some awesome ladies who are kicking it?”
I asked some of my favorite small women-owned businesses if they would like to join in the fun, and together we are bringing a whole boatload of coolness to you! All that they craft and create blows me away. Starting your own business is NOT easy, and is so often done in the corners of life when trying to manage life’s other responsibilities. Each of these women impress me so much with all of their dedication, hard work and talent.
So read up below about their businesses, these women, and their products. Show them some love, and thank them for being here! And then make sure to enter the the Rafflecopter below for your shot to score the whole lot of items from each of these ladies. Share the loot with your friends or keep everything for yourself–we don’t judge 😉
The giveaway is open to all residents of the continental U.S. and will close 10/16/13 at 12am EST. Winner will be contacted by e-mail and given 48 hrs. to respond before a new winner will be selected.
If you don’t win, sure, it will be a tough blow, BUT many of these women are extending sales and promo codes for a few weeks, so check out their sites and cash in on some savings. A jump on holiday gifts maybe? ‘Tis the season!
