I'm all settled down in my new home... I've nearly found the floor of the studio and am ready to start making some new designs especially some
Inkmeup lovelies... but wait... I feel I should share this momentous occasion with someone special... you guys!!! I've hung up the bunting and laid out some snacks and treats and now you're all invited to my house warming party...
No house warming is complete without games and no games are good games without PRIZES!!! I have decided to pick 3 lucky winners because my lovely facebook followers decided they would like more chances to win rather than one huge prize stash.
1st Prize... a hoot of your choice and a nice bag of
Inkmeup goodies including a lavender bag, print and a note book!
2nd Prize... a tweet or pet or real bird of your choice and some Inkmeup goodies including a lavender bag and a print!
3rd Prize... a teeny tweet and, of course, some inky goodies including a lavender bag!
All winners will receive loads of postcards and goodies too.
To enter simply first leave a comment on my blog telling me what your favourite item in my
shop is and what you are going to bring to my housewarming party... it could be a special cake, an interesting guest... a great party CD...a pink unicorn... just help me get my party started... this is all you need to do to be entered once...
For extra entries then if you can leave a
Twitter comment mentioning this blog post with link
@feltmeupdesigns or become a fan at
facebook ... and if you want an extra chance you can become an Inkmeup facebook fan too... If you do all 3 you get 3 bonus entries. Just make sure you come back here and tell me in a separate comment that you have twittered and facebooked, if you are already a facebook fan just let me know to get your extra entry!
The winners will be picked at random using a random number generator... I do read all your comments and they are moderated for naughty words so they won't appear immediately. Winner will be contacted within 3 days of close of competition so don't forget to leave me a way to contact you a facebook, etsy or twitter username will do... don't leave an email unless it is in the form of myname(at)hotmaildotcom... this is so spam bots don't get your email address and spam you!
I guess the driving force behind this was moving home, we moved into our lovely new nest with a nice big room for me to work in and since then I haven't managed to make anything. I was starting to feel a little sad... here was a nice shiny studio and I wasn't using it, except as a dumping ground... my day job was really starting to get in the way!
I had tried to quit last year in September but I realised that I wasn't emotionally ready... I've never left a job where I wanted to go but still liked the place I worked and the people I worked with... the only problem with my job in a book store was how much head space it took up, I'm not one of those people who can just turn up for work and then switch off the second I leave the door... and it's hard to be creative with a head full of all the things I needed to do at work the next day!
So I have 2 weeks left to work out my notice which is very scary... soon I shall be a full time self employed craft worker and will have to get my head down and felt like the wind ... I have so many ideas, I hope I have time for them! My next big thing is I really want to reopen Feltanomicon because it is so much fun to make little monsters... and hopefully I'll be getting up and running on Dawanda too... squeeeeeeeeeee.... I can't wait for my big scary adventure!
