The Winner of the Mosaic/Gift Certificate Giveaway

I told you I would have my daughter pick a winning name from the jar, but since my grandson was over last night I let him do it.

The winner of the contest is "Missknits". She will have her choice of which mosaic she would like for her prize.

I want to thank all of you for entering and being a part of my very first contest on my blog. I will definitely be holding another soon.

Gift Certificate Giveaway!

I have reached 100 followers and I want to celebrate with a contest. All 100 followers names have already been entered and placed in this jar.

I will give a $15.00 gift certificate to be used in my store http://www.memoriesinmosaics.etsy.com/ to the winner of this contest which will run until December 7th. I will announce the winner on my blog on the 8th of December.

It is open to anyone.

I will have my daughter, Terra, actually draw a name from this jar and take a picture for my blog. I prefer this over using the random drawing site. You will just have to trust me on this one.

Here are the ways you can enter your name to be put into the jar. There is no limit to how many chances you can have. Each time you do one of the following I will place your name in the jar I have here at home.

1. Become a follower-2pts. If you are already a follower you automatically get 1 pt.

2. Use one of my mosaics in a treasury and link back to me .-1pt.

3. Mention this contest on your blog and link back to me.-2pts.

4. Comment on this post-1pt.

5. Comment on the thread that I will have going in the forum under Promotions. It will say "Mosaic Gift Certificate Giveaway on my blog". Each "day" that you comment will give you 1 additional point. Be sure to mention that you are in this contest so that I can get your name.

6. Mention this contest anywhere else that can be linked back to me-1pt.

Who Wants to be Featured?

I am looking for a shop to feature on my blog. I prefer to have someone who could use some recognition because of low sales or is just starting out. I believe in helping one another and this is my way of giving what I can to help someone else.

When I do a feature I always include a picture of the person behind the shop as well as one of their studio/craft area because I think it's important to see the person behind the creation.
I also make it a point to promote the feature on the various forums, facebook, twitter, and blogger to get as much recognition as possible to their store.

If you would like to be featured, please leave a comment and tell me why you feel your shop could use the boost. I will put all the names in a hat and choose one or two to feature over the next few weeks. You will be contacted if you are the winner and I will submit some questions to you for the feature.
So don't be shy. Everyone needs a little help now and then.
