Do You Love Free Things?

Well, hello! Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a great start to the week. When I was teaching full time, I always dreaded Mondays... not because I didn't like my job (because I loved it!) but because it meant waking up early. These days, I get up when my husband leaves for work, and I can ease into my day by listening to my favorite radio show while sipping my (decaf) coffee.

Many of you know that I've had a little Etsy shop, Two Cats Decorations, for a year and a half. I just love it! I wanted to take a little bit of time today to share one of my products with you and host my first giveaway on the blog: my kitchen pun magnets. I LOVE making these, and they were a big hit for Christmas orders - I sold over 25 sets of these bad boys during the holiday rush in various colors, and I can't wait to send a set to one of you!

I just love these. I also sell other designs of kitchen puns (16 total right now) as prints and printables in my shop, but I chose just six to feature on the magnets! The best part? They are available in 33 different colors, so you can choose the one that matches your kitchen decor... or a friend's if you plan on gifting!

Here are the colors they are available in. All colors come in the distressed look shown above. The first photo is color 18, and in the collage, you see colors 3, 8, 23, and 30. The most popular colors in my shop in terms of sales, though, are definitely 10, 12, 14, and 21. I have sold multiple sets of each of those colors. 

And now for the fun part! The giveaway! I will be giving away one set of kitchen pun magnets to one lucky winner (who will be chosen randomly and announced on the blog on Monday, March 16th). The contest begins on Tuesday, March 10th and ends at midnight EST at the end of the day on Friday, March 13th. You must have a shipping address in the USA or an American military base overseas to win.

I'm so excited about this giveaway. Make sure you check out my Etsy shop, and if you're a member, I would greatly appreciate a "favorite" of my shop!


    

My Magnets

I hadn't planned on doing this, but I need room! With my handsome fiancé actually being allowed to move in super soon (thank you, USAFA, for once!), I need to clear out some of my crafting space to make some room for his office.

I'll still be making products and selling on Etsy because I love it... but I do need to get rid of some of the stock I have now.

Because of that, I am having a 50% off sale on 25 sets of my magnets... I have some with Bible verses, some with motivational/inspirational quotes, and even some with military quotes! The sale brings the magnets down to under $1 per magnet - what a deal!

I wanted to extend the offer past my Facebook and Twitter friends to my BLOGGING friends as well! You do NOT need a coupon code, as the prices have already been updated.

Check out the sale in my Etsy shop, Two Cats Decorations.

Here are a few samples of the magnets that are on sale. These are not all of them, but also be advised that not every set in the shop is on sale. The ones that are have a "50% OFF SALE!" tag in the listing names.

Like I said, I'd LOVE to ship some of these magnets to you! :)

December Update

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted. I've been BUSY, BUSY, BUSY, and that is my only excuse for being such a bad blogger.

In December, I have:

• driven across Kansas to return to Colorado from Missouri, where we went for Thanksgiving break
• suffered through proctoring tons of district assessments with my students (BORING)
• spent a wonderful weekend with Dan and friends in Steamboat Springs
• skied my very first BLUE run (Heavenly Daze at Steamboat Springs - thanks again, Aaron!)
• fulfilled 10 magnet orders from shoppers on Etsy (and made over 250 magnets for those orders)
• completed seven canvas collages for buyers from my Etsy shop {click here to visit my shop}
• celebrated the completion of the first semester with my students and colleagues with food, Elf, foosball, ping pong, and dancing
• tried a new (and delicious) cookie recipe
• celebrated Dan receive PILOT as his job and finish his ninth out of ten semesters at the Air Force Academy

As of this this evening, I have ONE work day left for the semester... and it's a teacher work day! Yay! We will soon leave to visit Dan's family in Portland and then a couple friends in Philadelphia. Both trips should be fun, and it'll be nice to experience a new city (never been to Philly).

I just wanted to post a quick update since it had been over a week... oops!
