{Giveaway Week ~ celebrating 1 year since quitting my day job [day 4]}

May 19, 2011 ·
Filed Under: for fun, giveaway, Gussy

This giveaway is now closed.

The winner of yesterday’s giveaway is Tiffany {__andtiffany@yahoo.com}. HIP HIP HOORAY! Tiffany, please email me with your ruffled selections {you’ve won a diaper/wipe wristlet, a medium zipped pouch and a small zipped pouch, along with your mailing address, xoxo!}

Tuesday night I took the bus downtown {a quick 20-minute ride} and met Zack for dinner at my favorite restaurant. We feasted on yummy Italian food and seriously enjoyed the celebration of Gussy Sews 1st year. My mother-in-law mentioned something that I really think is amazing: write down what the end of year 1 feels like, so I can remember it in the future :] I totally agree, some times it can be hard to remember the little details. There are definitely a few from my first day that I don’t think I’ll ever forget… mmm. I’m very thankful.

The first two picks on the top row are from our date Tuesday night. The bottom two pics are from yesterday (Wednesday). Bauer and I usually walk with Zack to the bus stop, then the bow-man and I take a nice, loooong morning walk. AND THEN MY DAY GETS CRAZY, hah! I’ve been thinking a lot lately on “the power of asking for help” — how much it’s assuaged me and seriously benefited the biz. {mom, do you remember that vocab word, from like 7th grade? hah! assuage. and how you told me how I should remember how to spell it!}

♥ Here’s the last batch of new product — remember the discount code “wednesday20” for 20% off your order expires tonight! {Thursday at 11:59pm CST} —

Vintage Romance small zipped pouch and medium zipped pouch

Vintage Romance wristlet/clutch and clutch

Vintage Romance make-up bag

Giveaway #1

Today I’m giving away $100 credit to my shop! Imagine the combinations you can create with this amount of shop credit! Seriously — this prize is like winning a handmade jackpot *wink*.

Throughout the week I added new Gussy products, there are 25 new ruffled items ready for you to bring home :] My favorite items are this tote bag, this zipped pouch and this headband. I use one of these items DAILY {if not all of them daily}! ♥

Giveaway #2

This second giveaway is SO AMAZING and is perfect for someone looking to further develop their blog *or* someone who enjoys being creatively challenged ~ My full-of-encouragement friend Liv has written an e*course on how to build a blog you love, and guess what?! One LUCKY Gussy Sews reader will win a free pass {$88 value} to take this 6-week online course {12 superstar interviews + 18 in-depth lessons}…

How To Build A Blog You Truly Love is a soul-stirring, blog-boosting e-course for anyone who longs to feel more inspired, excited and rewarded by their adventures in blogging. Led by inspirational speaker, radio personality and veteran blogger Liv Lane of Choosing Beauty, you’ll be lovingly guided through an innovative process of self-reflection and in-depth learning. Over the six-week course, you’ll develop your own unique blogging blueprint – designed to help you achieve sweet success and deep fulfillment for years to come. Plus, gain exclusive access to Liv’s interviews with more than a dozen superstar bloggers {including Gussy, *wink*!} on how they’re rocking the blogosphere and livin’ the dream.

Please leave a comment for EACH giveaway {you may enter up to 2x}. I’ll close the giveaways later tonight, so be sure you enter now if you’re interested! Won shop credit is open to the U.S. only; won shop credit can not be combined with a discount code or any other promotion. The winners will be posted Friday morning. I hope you’ll be back tomorrow for my FINAL day — it’s SEW huge! {skips around the house} ♥
