MoMo's Bows "Bow of the Month Giveaway"

A fellow member of TeamBluegrass is having a mindblowing blog giveaway, and I just had to share it with you. MoMo's Bows & Flip Flops is giving away a Bow of the Month Prize Package worth over $100 (yes, I said it!).





The little princess in your life will receive one bow in the mail every month, and an extra super duper mega special one in her birth month. I couldn't believe this giveaway when I saw it!




I'm entering for my little niece Chloe B, the Divalicious Bow Wearing Fiend (LOL).

I can just see her in those wonderful MoMo's Bows
now...*daydream sequence wavy fingers* doodly-doot doodly-doot doodly-doot doodly-doot doodly----What?!? There's nothing wrong with visualization! Oprah does it! LOL

So get on over to MoMo's Bows & Flip Flops and get yourself an entry.

And we have a winner! Or WINNERS, I Should Say!

There were over 30 total entries for my first "What's in the Box?!?" giveaway (I think that's an awesome number for a first giveaway!) We placed everyone's names into the Magic Goldfish Bowl of Plenty and pulled out a winner:

Congrats to Aurora's Garden! (Please email me with your mailing address so I can send it to you!)

(Sorry for the shoddy photography but I didn't have time to get the light tent out because we have family over this weekend.)

I also decided to have a surprise secondary drawing from the entries, and Congrats to Bee Perkins and @cutoutcollect for each winning a coupon for $5.00 off your total order from my Etsy shop!

I'll be contacting each of you for your mailing addresses soon!

Again, thanks to all who entered! I will be having another "What's in the Box?!?" drawing with a different prize starting July 4th! Spread the word, you never know WHAT you might win!

WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!? Blog Giveaway

Yes ladies and gents, I have decided to hold my very first blog giveaway!

So, tell me, who doesn't love free stuff? I know someone who liked winning things so much that once she entered a contest for a year's supply of free denture cream and she had perfect (real) teeth!

So in the spirit of people who love to win things, you can win this lovely handmade box (origami'd by yours truly) and of course, the handmade contents in it.

So, what's in the box?!?

*Ahem*
I know some of you have been waiting to see what was inside the box before you entered. Without further adieu.... Drumroll Please...

It's an Original Kellibeans Fortune Kit!

The Fortune Kit is my newest product, a totally original gift set (some are themed!), and they'll be available in my Etsy shop starting next week! You can't get these anywhere else, folks!

Inside the winning kit, you will find:

Your very own Fairy Beans mini doll,
purveyor of all things awesome and mascot of mojo magnificence.

And a Set of 7 Handmade fabric fortune cookies,
complete with fortunes divined from the genius that belongs to yours truly.

So here is how you enter to win:

1. Go to my Etsy Shop
2. Come back here and comment under this post as to which of my listings you like best and why.

(You MUST enter this way first, unless you are having technical difficulties with Blogger, and if you are, you can contact me via an Etsy convo/private message to enter.)

The contest ends on Saturday, June 20th. Everyone's entries will go into the Magic Goldfish Bowl of Plenty here in the studio, and Mr. Beans will be the one to draw out the winning ticket. I will post the winner here at 12pm (Central Time) Saturday morning, and will also tweet the results to my Twitter followers.

BUT WAIT---THERE'S MORE!

You can earn one extra entry for doing each of these things, each time you complete a task, come back here and drop me a comment to let me know you have completed them.

(Remember to leave a comment first or else I don't know whom to give extra credit to!)

So on to the deets for extra entries. You can:

1. Buy an item from my Etsy shop.
2. Follow my blog. (applies to new followers only)
3. Post about & link this giveaway on your blog.
4. ReTweet a link to this blog post on Twitter, using @kellibeans so I can find you.

Again, good luck to everyone and get to entering!
