D' Luxe Designs Giveaway - My Etsy Anniversary

I find it hard to believe it was just one year ago today that I launched my Etsy shop, D' Luxe Designs. I'd already begun building my greeting card portfolio, when my friend Jen suggested I give Etsy a try.

Unknown to me at the time, being on Etsy has opened several doors to me.

From joining the etsy street teams and interacting with other handmade artists, I 've met many great people and learned alot to take my business to the next level. I've even developed a following at local craft shows and been contacted by a few retailers to carry both my jewelry and greeting card lines.

To celebrate, I am sponsoring the "D'Luxe Designs Anniversary Giveway".

Just leave a comment for this post and you will be eligible to win the bracelet above. This design is called "The Secret Life of Leaves". A blank D'Luxe Designs greeting card will be included with your shipment. Entry deadline is March 11, 2009. Limited to U.S. entries.

Thanks for the support!

D' Luxe Beadweaving - Etsy EBW Team Challenge

It's not too late to cast your vote for the Etsy Beadweavers Tropical Holiday Challenge. Etsy Beadweavers is a group of beaders who market their creations on Etsy.com.

The Beadweavers' creations are different from many traditional beaded items, in that they are woven from hundreds or thousands of tiny beads to create intricate designs and pictures.

These handmade designs are both art and jewelry. Each piece takes hours to complete, with some larger pieces taking weeks or even months. I am a proud member of this team

The current team challenge is to create a tropical holiday inspired design. Please visit our team site at http://www.etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com/ to cast your vote. Please hurry, the deadline is February 15.

To view some of my beadweaving pieces, be sure to visit my etsy site at http://www.dluxedesigns.etsy.com/.

Mention this post when purchasing from my etsy site to receive a FREE gift.

Offer ends February 28, 2009.
