Winner Announced: Rainbow Butterfly Clips

Congratulations to entry #30 of 146, Shauna Norrie! You are the final winner of 2011! :) You win this set of rainbow crocheted butterfly clips.

Thanks to everyone for all your great comments and participation. You guys make this so much fun! :)

Giveaway: Rainbow of Little Crocheted Butterflies

Can you believe that Christmas is just a week away?! It feels like the holiday "season" has flashed by for me this year- maybe more so than in past years! Feels like we've gone from one event to another with lightning speed. I'm looking forward to some "blank space" soon- though what in the world I will do with six weeks off, I have no idea! Anyway, my "time off" will begin at Christmas and continue through January until the second week of February. Since I'm going to be taking a break from Facebook (at least the business-related side of it) for awhile, I wanted to go ahead and do one last giveaway! 

So this week I'll be giving away this rainbow set of bright crocheted butterflies. 

 These are seriously the best clips for baby hair or that "barely there" hair (though of course I can put them on alligator clips if the winner prefers a bigger clip). The tiny snap clips I use for these butterfly clips will work, even if your baby has almost no hair (see photo below for how much hair is needed for these clips).

This week, the entry method will be the same but a little shorter. You can go ahead and start entering tonight, December 18, and I will accept entries until tomorrow night at 9pm EST. At 9pm EST, a winner will be randomly selected and announced. I will mail the prize out on Tuesday, December 20, which should allow sufficient time to reach any US destination in time for Christmas.

How do you enter?
1. Leave a COMMENT either here on the blog or on my Facebook site at http://www.facebook.com/mylittlepixies . You can tell me what you'd do with the clips if you win, or just say you want to enter! If you enter on the blog, please leave your email address so I can contact you if you win. :)
2. SHARE with friends in any way you choose and tell me you did for an extra entry. I have set up a Pinterest pin here: http://pinterest.com/pin/160651911677263685/ You can "repin" this onto one of your Pinterest boards for credit for sharing.
3. Be sure to check back on MONDAY night at 9pm EST for the announcement of the winner. I will make every attempt to contact the winner; he or she will have 24 hours to claim the prize or a new winner will be selected. :)

Good luck! :)

If you are interested in what items are still available for Christmas delivery, please see my "ready to ship" section here. Items ordered by 2pm EST tomorrow will be sent out the same day and 1st class mail should work to get the items to any US destination in time for Christmas. After 2pm EST, I will be switching my site over to Priority Mail flat rate shipping ($5.50) for all ready-to-ship items, and these can be ordered through Wednesday at 2pm EST for Christmas delivery via Priority mail. After Wednesday, I will be putting my Etsy shop in "vacation mode" and I will be officially on break until the 2nd week in February! :)

Winner Announced: Rainbow Watercolors Headband Giveaway

Congratulations to entry #4 of 157, "Kathryn C!" You are the winner this week of a beautiful rainbow watercolors Hailey silk flower headband (I will substitute a clip for you if that works better in your situation). Please contact me at mylittlepixiesbowtique@gmail.com to claim your prize! :)

Everybody else, here's the link to the item on Etsyhttp://www.etsy.com/listing/70306057/rainbow-watercolors-silk-flower-headband and on mylittlepixies.comhttp://www.mylittlepixies.com/item_149/Hailey-Headband-in-Rainbow-Watercolors.htm

Today and tomorrow are officially the LAST days to order for Christmas delivery, though depending on order volume, I may be able to accept a few later orders, and I will have a few ready-to-ship items for last minute shoppers. :)

Monday Giveaways: Rainbow Hailey Headband

By popular request, this week's giveaway is for the beautiful Rainbow Hailey Headband! :)

Here's how you enter:

1. Leave a COMMENT, either here or on my Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/mylittlepixies
2. SHARE with friends in any way you choose, and tell me you did for an extra entry. Pinterest is a great way to share with friends. You can repin this pin http://pinterest.com/pin/749757004/ and if you need an invite to join Pinterest, just leave your email address and I'll send you one. :)
3. Check back on WEDNESDAY, when the winner will be announced.

Note: I prefer these flowers on headbands as opposed to clips because in my experience, they look nicer and hold up better on the headbands- but I know some kids don't like headbands, and if the winner prefers a clip, I will gladly attach the flower to the clip instead- it still looks beautiful. :)

Winners Announced: Double Giveaway!

Congratulations to my two winners this week! :) 

Entry number 153 (of 159), Nina Chang- you have won the red and green Christmas headband pictured above!

And Entry number 5 (of 159), Echo Halsted Marich- you have won the pair of small red posh posy clips pictured above!

One winner will receive a set of small posh posies in red.

 And another winner will receive this bright green and red Christmas flower headband!

If you want to enter this week's contest, here's how ya do it! :)
The vote was so close this week that I can't really figure out which one of these two actually got the most votes, so I think I'll just have 2 winners this week! :) It is "cyber Monday," after all! :) Entry method will be the same as usual. Here's how:

1. Leave a COMMENT on this photo album so that I know you want to enter. You may also enter on my blog at http://mylittlepixiesblog.blogspot.com/

Monday Giveaways- Turkey Headband Or Clip

So, it's almost Thanksgiving time already! Can't believe that... So this week's giveaway is for my hands-down favorite Thanksgiving accessory! :) The winner of this week's giveaway will be able to choose from a turkey headband (skinny or ruffled) or a turkey clip! :)

 The turkey can be attached to a small snap clip that connects to the interchangeable ruffled headband, as pictured above- you'll find that listing here or here

 Or it can be permanently attached to a skinny headband in the size of your choice, listing available here and here

Or, attached to an alligator clip- listing here or here. So this is a prize that anyone can enjoy! :) And judging by the very short amount of time I've been able to keep these in stock every time I get a new shipment, many of you may already have this piece.

So, how do you enter?

The Big 2000 Fan Giveaway- Inspiration and Instructions

So excited this week to present some of my favorite friends and crafters in a fun group giveaway in celebration of the great gift of 2000 fans on Facebook. :) Feels like a milestone to me; a reminder of the blessing that each of you are to me, though I will probably never meet the majority of you face to face! I feel so connected to you through these things I make. I share more of my heart with you than you might realize- on the other side of the screen is a totally real person (really, a complete dork who gets so excited about the smallest things!) who just can't get over the fact that there are people out there who actually like something that I made (pardon the mixed up pronouns...).

You are such an encouragement to me, just by your presence and your participation in this hobby-turned-business venture. This last year and a half has been in some ways a very difficult season for me personally due to a deep yet unfulfilled desire for more children, but My Little Pixies has been such a bright spot for me- especially because of how much I love connecting with clients, fans, and friends. I know that God blessed me with you, with this, as a way of showing me His love- and I hope I can share a little bit of that same love back with you, especially as we head into the wonderful Christmas season. :)

After almost 2 years in business, I have come to have such great respect for work-at-home-moms. It's more of a challenge than I realized, trying to juggle all the demands of so many different roles in life at the same time. Now that I have my own business, I feel so much more passionate about small business, shopping handmade, and buying things locally whenever possible. It's so fun to sense that real personal connection. I hope you enjoy "meeting" these people as much as I have.

Several wonderful vendors have agreed to participate this week in a group giveaway that I'm going to be hosting. This is how the giveaway will work. Each vendor has submitted a picture of the item or items that they are giving away, as well as links to their shops and to their Facebook pages. The idea of a giveaway like this is to expand our circle of "support" to include some really awesome other people. Participating in a giveaway like this really helped me to increase my Facebook following, and I know from experience how fun, and how valuable that can be! So, be kind to my friends! Join their pages- discover some cool stuff. :)

In order to "enter" for each vendor, you will have to do the following:
1. Click the Facebook link to the vendor's page and "Like" their page. If you want, tell them that you came from My Little Pixies.
2. Leave a comment, either here on the blog, or on the picture on my page, saying you want to enter for that vendor, with your email address so that I can provide it to the vendor if you win.
3. Shop at any of my vendors' shops this week and earn an extra 2 entries for the giveaway the vendor you shopped at is sponsoring. If you've purchased something from a particular vendor this week, leave it in the comments for that vendor's picture. Some of the vendors are offering discounts for shopping during the giveaway period, so watch for that. Might find some cut Christmas stuff!
4. Check back Friday morning, November 11, for winners to be posted (winners will be selected for each vendor via random.org).

Have fun!

Winner Announced: Holiday Clips Gift Set

Congratulations to entry #5, "The Pawlak Family!" You're my winners this week! You win the set pictured above with a clip for every holiday!

If you didn't win this week, but want a set of your own or for gift giving, see my listing here or here for this item!

Monday Giveaways: Holiday Hair Clip Gift Set (8 clip set)

This week, the giveaway item is for the perfect Christmas gift for the girl who has "everything." All my favorite holiday clips have been combined into one collection that features a clip for seven major US holidays, plus a birthday cupcake clip for her own special holiday. [if you're from a different country, I can customize the patriotic clip to reflect your culture- for example, I can do a crocheted maple leaf for my Canadian friends. :)]

This set is listed for $28, which averages to $3.50/clip, a cost savings of about 20% off the usual cost for the same clips purchased separately. I wanted to create a set that would be within the average price range for gifts for friends and family.

I also created a "year of clippies" set that contains all 8 of the clips in the holidays set, but also an additional clip for each season of the year (winter, spring, summer, and fall). This set is $42.

This week, I'm going to be giving away the smaller clip set (the winner will have the option of upgrading to the larger set if she/he wishes) as a way to kick start this new and fun set.
Here's how you enter:
1. Leave me a COMMENT either here on the blog or on my Facebook page.
2. SHARE about the giveaway with friends in any way you choose (email, Facebook, Twitter, whatever) or REPIN this pin on Pinterest http://pinterest.com/pin/373137462/ [if you'd like an invite to Pinterest, leave me your email address and I will have Pinterest send you one] for one extra entry
3. SHOP- this week, I will be offering two extra entries to everyone who enters the giveaway and makes a purchase between today (Monday October 24) until the contest winner is announced Wednesday morning (October 26) around 8am.
4. CHECK BACK Wednesday morning to see if you're the winner! The winner will have 24 hours to claim the prize!

Good luck! :)

Monday Giveaway: Vampire Red Silk "Hailey" Headband

This week's giveaway makes me feel excited for the rapidly approaching holiday season! It's for this beautiful handmade silk flower headband in the deliciously bright "Vampire Red."

This flower style is probably my favorite of everything I make for my shop; it is so intricate and pretty! The style looks just as good on infants, toddlers, and even mom! I don't wear a lot of headbands myself because they give me headaches- but this is one style I do wear, especially for fancy occasions! :) 

Below are some pictures of this style of headband on girls of various ages, so you can have an idea of what it looks like on! :)

 Rainbow Watercolors

 Chocolate Rose

 Pink Lemonade

The item is available here also, for purchase, for those who didn't win. :) Thanks for playing!

Monday Giveaway: Simple Cream Sparkle Crochet Flower Headband

Simple cream sparkle headband won the popularity contest this week on my Facebook page, so it's this week's feature item! :)

I like this flower because it's slightly smaller than the ones I normally make (it has 5 petals instead of 6), measuring about 1.5 inches. The center is a genuine Swarovski crystal (so of course you want to be careful with little ones; these shouldn't be ingested ;)), and the flower is attached to a skinny elastic headband in the size of your choice. It's pretty, almost like a snowflake, delicate, and simple. :) You can find the listings for this item here on Etsy and here on my website.

1. Leave a COMMENT (either here or on my Facebook page- so I know you want to enter ;))
2. SHARE with friends (via Facebook, blogs, email, or repinning this Pinterest pin)- http://pinterest.com/pin/302804819/ and tell me you did for an extra entry
3. Check back Wednesday morning to see if you've won! The winner will have 24 hours to claim the prize! :) Good luck!

Winner Announced: Halloween Baby headband or clip

Congratulations to entry #38 out of 83, Shanna Uptergrove! You're my winner this week for this Halloween flower headband or clip! :) Email me at mylittlepixiesbowtique@gmail.com to claim your prize. You have 24 hours to claim the prize! Congrats, and I hope you love your headband!:)

Monday Giveaway: Halloween Baby Headband, or Clip

Guess everyone's ready for Halloween! :) The Halloween Baby headband set won the vote on my Facebook page last night, so it's the giveaway item for the week this week! :

This set includes a small "Pixie" posy hand-crocheted in black and orange, attached to a small snap clip that connects to the included black and white spotted headband. If the winner of the giveaway chooses, an equivalent pixie posy clip can be substituted. :) Good luck everyone!

PINTEREST Giveaway- $20 Gift Certificate

This week's giveaway: A $20 gift certificate to ANYTHING in either one of my shops! You can pick your own prize! :) I have a NEW entry method only for this week: use http://www.pinterest.com/ to PIN your favorite item from either my Etsy shop at http://www.mylittlepixies.etsy.com/ or my personal shop site athttp://www.mylittlepixies.com/, and COMMENT either on the blog or on Facebook to tell me which item you pinned! A random winner will be selected from all pinners on Wednesday morning!

I know this is a bit more work than the usual entry methods, which is why I'm offering a bigger prize than usual, PLUS it will be great for those of you who have entered week after week for a long time without winning anything because chances will likely be significantly better than usual. :) Happy pinning!

The reason I decided to try this method of entry this week is that I wanted to do a little study to see if I can quantify the effect of Pinterest pinning on my business. I'm also curious to see which items clients really like so that I can make more of the things people want to see! I have lots of great ideas of my own, always swimming around in my head, but one of my very favorite things about being in a "people" business is getting to know YOUR tastes and provide what YOU are looking for. :) 


So happy pinning, good luck, and I look forward to seeing who wins on Wednesday! :)
