Abandoned on Thanksgiving?

My Thanksgiving will be a bit different from others. My Mom and Dad have gone to see my grandparents, my sister will be having dinner with her in-laws and my friends have gone home for the holiday. That leaves me all alone.

But don't feel bad.....because....."I will survive".

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Whatever your holiday plans, enjoy!

Hmm, Need Your Help

So, I have been thinking about holding a monthly giveaway with prizes from my shop. I thought this would be beneficial and fun for my current customers and a good way to pick up some new clients. I would hold the giveaway right here on my blog.

I need your help! Some help with these questions would be great.

- What should the prize(s) be?
- Is it ok to email my customer base once a month letting them know that there is a giveaway on my blog?
- What should the parameters be (if any) to get into the giveaway?

Thanks!!
