One Thousand and Counting!!!

Drumroll please........... we have OVER ONE THOUSAND FACEBOOK FANS!! Miranda and I are giddy from all of that love!! It has been so amazing to watch our little blog grow over the last six months and we are so thankful for it. It seems so crazy to me that our random idea for blog has turned into a real live blog with real live readers. We wanted to figure out a way to say thank you to all of you for finding us and liking us and sticking around and since I completely suck at writing thank you notes (and we don't have all of your addresses), a giveaway seemed like the best way to do it - so here you go. A big fat giveaway. One lucky person gets everything!

Hi there, Sarah from SairberryCreative here. I was thrilled when Jamie introduced this fantastic blog to me and invited me to be a part of the fun! I love Pinterest (you can follow me @Sairberry). One of my other loves is APRONS! Aprons have always been a big part of my life. Then I discovered my love of fabric, and the rest was history! Sairberry Handmade Aprons has been going strong for over 5 years. Whether you’re boiling water or creating a culinary event, why not look cute while doing it! I feel so blessed to have a place to bake and a roof over my head that my heart is drawn to families who don’t have those luxuries. So I use the 30/30/40 rule: 30% of all proceeds go to World Vision, 30% toward supplies, and 40% toward overhead and my retirement.
I chose World Vision because of my beautiful Oma (grandmother) who was born in Indonesia. I love sponsoring families abroad through teams setting up sustainable farming, water sources, and education. I figure an apron helps provide warm meals, so if making aprons can warm hearts in other countries and nourish families, I’m happy! You can often find me whipping up a delicious treat or two and having a great time as I tie one on with a cocktail and an apron! 

Isn't Sarah the cutest??? She is also super generous because our lucky winner gets one of her cute aprons!! Actually, they get the cute black, white and red one with little birds called "Birds of a Feather!"
Mindy Mae's Market is a way of Cultivating Creativity {5} items at a time!  Whether its a craft item, home decor piece, or snazzy piece of jewelry we have {5} items posted on our site at all times, each day a new deal is posted and an old one is bumped off.  You never know what item will sell out or what item will get bumped out - so act fast!  We love to interact with our customers and get to know them, therefore we play lots of games on our Facebook page!  The most popular game is our "I'll Take It" game, we post something we have in stock at a killer deal and the first person that says "I'll Take It" gets it for the stated price that includes shipping!  It's such a fun way for our customers to get a great deal and for us get to know them a little!  We LOVE getting emails with pictures of crafts made by our customers and we share them on our Facebook with a little shout-out!  We love helping them get great deals, cute products and helping them share their item and, of course, their talents!  Crafting can get expensive, and husbands can get grumpy - and that's where we come in providing cute products, fun ideas, and great prices.  Giveaways, surprises, and fun games are a must for us!

I have a confession on this one - Mindy Mae's has become an addiction of mine (and Miranda's). We are constantly drooling over their stuff! They are giving a $40 goodie box to our lucky winner -- yup, $40 worth of crafting goodies, just for you!!! AND they are throwing in an extra for everyone -- for every order over $10 they are throwing in 27 yards baker's twine (9 colors to choose from)! Use the code "Pinterest" to get your twine.



Since I wanted to show some love to our readers and say THANK YOU - for loving us, following us and leaving us sweet comments, I talked it over with the CEO of Macie's Little Hat Co. (that's her in the bottom corner - cute right??) and she agreed to let me give away one custom hat to our winner! Full disclosure, she didn't exactly say "yes" but I took her smile and babbling as approval. Our lucky winner will get a custom hat of their choosing - you pick the style, the colors, the size - all of it! If you don't have a little noggin that needs a hat in your life, then I'll even make you an adult hat because I like you... I really like you!







We are giving one month of ad space to the winner - just to give some love to all of the other bloggers and small businesses out there. What's better than free advertising??



And last but not least -- we wanted to give a personal thank you to all of you for being so great. We all know that the best gift of all is the one you buy yourself so.... Miranda has thrown in a $25 Amazon Gift card!! Yup, the lucky winner gets to buy themselves something with someone else's money. The best gift of all!!







I know you are all asking the most important question -- how can I win all of this amazing stuff???? Good thing for you there are lots of way, just scroll down to the little Rafflecopter box and get started! YAY for 1000 fans - we are blown away!!!
