You like prizes, right?

I know I LOVE winning. And when something is free, it's IDEAL! But even better is when I am the one in charge of giving out fun prizes!

Here's the deal:

In attempt to help motivate Etsy Maine Teamers to fill their shops with wonderful wares for the holiday season, I proposed a fun challenge. Willing participants, must list 5 new listings each week for 4 weeks, and those still standing at the end will be entered into a drawing to win a special gift basket! And not only that, but they will have added at least 20 items to their shop to help them prepare for the on slaught of holiday buyers!

But what does that have to do with winning and prizes? Well if you FOLLOW the status of this motivational challenge, you can enter this giveaway. All you have to do is post on this blog with your name and email address, then you will be entered into the drawing to win a fabulous gift basket that mixes a little Maine and Italy (my recent relocation) into it!

Wait! There is more! If you want to have your name entered twice, you can create an Etsy Treasury featuring 4 of the 17 shops, then posting your name, email address, and the address to your treasury here on this post. What a great way to promote special handmade wares WHILE trying to win a prize for yourself! You can find who is participating in this challenge on this Etsy Thread http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=6642431.


Challenge/Contest begins today, Friday, October 1st and runs until Thursday, October 28th. So you MUST get your comments and treasuries in no later than 11:59 pm on October 28th. The drawing will be held on Saturday, October 30th and a winner for both challenges will be announced!

So what are you waiting for? Get commenting and following!
