50% OFF Scavenger Hunt this week in my Etsy shop and also upcoming Black Friday/Cyber Monday KCEtsy Sales Event

I am doing two promotional specials this week.  Today through Thursday (11/23 - 11/ 26), I will be having a 50% off Scavenger Hunt Sale in my Etsy shop.  What is this?  Well, I randomly mark down select items by 50% and you have to find them.  These will be scattered throughout my shop and change from day to day or even hour to hour so you'll have to be quick to make your purchase if you find an item that you like!  (And, you don't have to worry about any refunds via PayPal this time because the markdowns will already be made on each item.)  It is a great time to buy your handmade Holiday gifts!

Coming up on Black Friday through Cyber Monday (11/27 - 11/30), I will be participating with my local Kansas City Etsy Street Team's sale event.  Please check the KCEtsy blog for more immediate details as well as my blog and my Etsy shop toward the end of the week for further information.  Over 20 shops are participating with specials ranging from freebies to percentages off to free shipping or a combination of these.

Games & Prizes! A Super Fun Scavenger Hunt!

I just wanted to pop in and let you know about a scavenger hunt going on at a fellow blog. It is being hosted by The Adventures of Pam and Frank. I have posted about Pam before who has another wonderful blog besides the one above. At her other blog, she posts all sorts of great indie business tips and other marketing/advertising info. In The Adventures of Pam and Frank, you get to see a more personal side of Pam and her family. She is having a "blog warming" party this week and conducting a scavenger hunt. I think it is a great idea and a fun way to get to know what her new blog is all about. I'm one of the participating blogs in the scavenger hunt too. If you have the time, please visit The Adventures of Pam and Frank and participate in the festivities this week! There are more details below..........

Food - Games - Prizes - All week long!



(The scavenger hunt starts at 12:01am PST on Tuesday July 14, 2009
and runs until 11:59pm PST on Saturday July 18, 2009.)

P.S. For those of you who might be wondering, all is well with the pregnancy. I had some regular and progressive contractions at the end of last week and went into the hospital for a labor check. After being monitored for a while and examined, they sent me home to rest and wait. Things are progressing slowly but very well so far, and I really believe (and really hope!) that it will be any day now when our little one arrives. I have another checkup tomorrow to see how things are going and am just taking it one day at a time. I apologize to my readers for being absent from blog posting and felting lately though - as I miss both of them terribly, but the baby comes first and, for now, that means playing the waiting game and taking it easy until the baby arrives. Most days I feel like I'm going to pop! Right now my top priority is dealing with the constant uncomfortableness and pains of late pregnancy while looking forward to holding my little one soon. I hope you have a great week and, as always, happy felting!
