in fun,sewing & crafts

To those who came from Blissfully Domestic, thanks for stopping by… :)

I’m stoked to announce the grand opening of my Etsy shop, Goodies by Gidget!! I’m just getting it up and running so I’ll be adding items gradually. My very-talented mom is also going to be contributing to the shop. In honor of this exciting event, I’m hosting my first ever giveaway here on Gidget Goes Home.

One lucky reader will win… from my Etsy shop:

  • a bib (reversible!) & burpie gift set (choice of boy or girl design)

  • one of my mom’s homemade Pack’n'Play sheets (should work with most brands of playards- measures 27″ x 38″) in this silly fabric (these will be in the shop soon!)
  • a super swell insulated coffee sleeve (these will also be in the shop for purchase soon!)

And as a fun bonus, something from my favorite mommy-blogger:

  • a free copy of Simple Mom‘s awesome e-book, Spring Cleaning for Normal People (the Lord knows I need to start reading this with all the blogging and crafting I’ve been doing lately!)
  • spring cleaning

How to enter:

Winner will be chosen randomly; you get 1 entry for each of these things you do with a total of 3 possible per person. Make sure you leave a comment for each of your entries (i.e. 1 telling me you subscribed, 1 with the link to your blog, etc.).

  1. Leave a comment telling me your favorite Etsy seller or your Etsy shop’s name (or just tell me your favorite craft to do if you’re new to etsy).
  2. Leave a comment telling me you subscribed to my blog via RSS or via email (if you already subscribe you can post a comment telling me that).
  3. Leave a comment with a link to your blog, where you mention this giveaway.

That’s it! Buena suerte… good luck!

The giveaway will end on Wednesday, September 17th, 2008 @midnight, mountain time.
Winner will be announced shortly thereafter!

P.S. pssst… Mrs. Fussypants is also giving away a copy of Simple Mom’s book!!

I do not have a favorite Etsy website, but I do love to go browsing and shopping there. The handmade goodies are beautiful. My favorite crafts are knitting, crocheting and cross-stitching. I borrowed my mom’s sewing machine and I am hoping to take sewing lessons soon. Thanks for the chance to win your goodies. Maureen

Fun giveaway!! I’m recently new to the Etsy world, but I must say I’m in LOVE with the felt foods! I can’t wait till my daughter is old enough to enjoy a play kitchen and felt food. I think it is just darling.

I am familiar with Etsy but not enough to name names. My favourite craft would be a split one: knitting and scrapbooking, with cross stitching hovering around.

I don’t have a fav etsy seller, I more have favorite items, like I always look at any sort of pottery (serving dishes, bowls, decorative things) I have you on my “google reader” :) I’ll definitely blog about your blog on my personal one…don’t know if it will give you much traffic…but who knows!!

I’m glad we’re web friends, when you move back we should be real friends, hah!
