Santa's Wish List Giveaway

After participating in a few giveaways on Facebook and going from 300 fans to 2100 fans, I couldn't help but want to share the love with other small businesses. These small businesses work very hard to make each of their items with love and what's better than helping a small business while getting something UNIQUE, handmade, one of a kind! This giveaway is possible BECAUSE of the generosity of these vendors, listed below in no specific order.

So, with that said... let me introduce the "Santa's Wish List" Giveaway. This is a huge eclectic mix of items that one lucky winner will get. Use the items as Christmas gifts for yourself, your family, your friends, your neighbors. There will be something for everyone on your list and this will help you get that list DONE!

In order to get all these items for FREE, you will need to do a little work for them!

Christmas Images

Here are a TON of Christmas Images I have that can be put on well... ANYTHING! Totes, bags, onesies, shirts, etc... There are some SUPER cute lettering!

Etsy

I've tested out some products on Etsy and got two orders on the adorable scalloped dotted pillows. They are so cute and monogram really well. They come in pink, blue or white although I've only done pink ones so far.

More baby items

A few more onesie's and caps for a little baby... (sorry about the coloring of the last pic)

Monogrammed Bows

FINALLY! I got around to figuring out the monogramming on bows thing... Thought this turned out pretty cute! The bow is a 4.5" chunky bow and comes in multiple colors!

Blankets

Monogrammed Blankets make great gifts for babies, teens or college kids. My favorites are the super plush satin microfleece. SO soft!

Cute Baby Sets

These onesie and "lovey" blankie set are so cute. I loved how they turned out and it makes a great gift for that adorable newborn!

Bags Galore!

Bags, totes, drawstrings, duffles...oh my!

Busy Month

It's been a very busy month! I've had a fun assortment of items to make. I think the neatest one to come out was the order of 16 robes for a little girl's birthday party. The order was from Sparkling Events and Design (check out her blog... her work is amazing!)

The theme was a princess party in pink/green colors, so I did a crown over Pamper Me. They turned out so cute!

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G Giveaway!!!

So, this giveaway Olive to Sew is participating in is probably one of the GREATEST giveaway's I've seen. It is worth over $2000 of stuff from 49 different vendors. Check it out.

What I love the most (of course) is I went from 200 fans on my Facebook page to now being at 715+ in just a few hours. Wahoo!!! Let's go Olive to Sew! Love having my name and items that I love the most getting out to the community. Another reason to chalk up the awesomeness of Facebook.

Join in the fun! And get to know some really cool new vendors! The contest is going through Tuesday the 23rd.

Halloween Images

I love Halloween and all the fun stuff to make! Here are some cute images that are able to be put on candy bags, onesies, blankets, shirts and more... These are just some, but I literally have hundreds of images from pumpkins, skulls, witches, sayins to ghosts, goblins and more! The bottom right in the second picture are some of the fonts that can be used for names. SO cute! Third pic is an example.
