What mama wants, mama gets!  But unfortunately, mama has to pay for it...  In order to add to my saved funds to buy a brand new drum carder, I'm giving you a whopper of a deal this weekend only!  This way all the mama's (and gals and guys in general) can get what they want. I am offering a 30% off coupon code for use in my ArtFire shop, Etsy Fiber Shop, and Etsy Stamp Shop.  You'll get 30% off your one time order this weekend only (excluding shipping costs).  The coupon code MAMAWANTS is good from now through Sunday (2/21/10).

Simply enter the coupon code at checkout and the amount will automatically be deducted before you make payment.  It is that easy!

For my Etsy Fiber Shop, and Etsy Stamp Shop...
Please put the coupon code in the Etsy or PayPal message to seller at checkout.  After purchase has been made, I will promptly refund your 30% discount (less any shipping fees).  If you'd prefer that I send you an adjusted PayPal email invoice or make a custom price-adjusted listing for you, please contact me via Etsy conversations prior to purchasing your item(s).

You will only receive the 30% order total discount if you use the coupon code MAMAWANTS at checkout so please don't forget it!


If you have any questions, please contact me.  Have a fantastic weekend! And, happy shopping to all!

(Psst... and for those who might not know what a drum carder is, it is a piece of fiber equipment that will allow me to easily comb my wool and blend different fiber types and colors to make my own roving and batts.  I've had my eye on one for a very long time!)
