Java Jess Publishing Big Anniversary Giveaway!!

Recently, we had a promotion leading up to our big anniversary today that featured a half price item of the day! Whoever purchased that half price item not only got their name entered into our anniversary giveaway of a FREE JavaJessPublishing tote bag (filled with a few goodies), but also the chance to have their shop featured here on the blog today! Without further ado, here are all the great shops that took advantage of our half price items of the day leading up to our anniversary:

http://laruefashions.etsy.com
Laruefashions has a wide selection of items available in her shop: handmade chainmaille, jewelry, crochet items, and supplies are just a few of the offerings! One of my favorite items from her shop is this incredible chainmaille bracelet:

I also love this cute baby hat in her shop:

http://uuendyandfriends.etsy.com

UUendyandfriends specializes in many types of handmade crafts, but especially in fun dress up jewelry. One of my favorite items from her shop is these adorable ginger bread man earrings:

I also love this adorable baby blanket:

http://sandists.etsy.com
Sandi has two shops, and bought from both of them during our pre-anniversary sale! This shop is her stash shop, where she sells fabric and other destash at incredibly low prices. I really love the following fabric:

I also love this cute little kit:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/53147010/stuffed-kitten-and-cat-fabric-pattern


http://handmadebysandi.etsy.com
This is Sandi's second shop, in which she sells all sorts of handmade goodies from felted items to stitch markers to handmade shirts. Her felted bowls are very popular amoung the Sneaker crowd on Etsy. I like this set the best:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/54532155/felted-wool-bowls

I also really love her unique fabric tshirt designs. This is one of my favorites:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/56935023/dolphin-tee-shirt-adult-xl-3xl


http://booboozoo.etsy.com
BooBooZoo has so many things that I want to buy! She specializes in all sorts of "boo boo" bags, such as migraine managers and hot/cold packs. Here is one of my favorite sets:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/57401369/pink-tattoo-pain-manager-set-last-set

As someone with constantly cold feet and hands, I also really like these:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/57255628/happy-hands-heart-pocket-pals-red-stars

Since BooBooZoo bought twice during the pre-anniversary sale, I want to share one additional item from her shop that is always calling to me:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/54009515/skully-booboobag


We also had one additional featured purchase from a shop that is a buyer account only, so there was no way to feature it. :)

In addition to our featured item sales, we also had regular purchases from the following shops that are eligible to win our anniversary giveaway:
http://walrus82.etsy.com
http://ingaffney.etsy.com
http://kristinigloo.etsy.com
http://lorilaliberte.etsy.com
http://suejanmcdancy.etsy.com
http://handmadebysandi.etsy.com

The winner of our big anniversary drawing was determined the old fashioned way - all names were put into a hat, and then I drew one out without looking! :) And the winner is.....

Trying to win from BooBooZoo - and you can, too!!

My Sneaker pal BooBooZoo recently had her products reviewed by a blog called At The Fence. As part of that review, there is a giveaway to choose ONE item - ANY item - from her shop!!

I want to win, but I also want to spread the news about how great her shop is. I not-so-secretly covet just about everything in her shop because as someone who suffers from chronic daily pain, I live off of ice packs and heat pads! ;)

Here is the link to the giveaway - you have until October 5th to enter:

Or, if you just want to buy from her instead (which is really great!), just go here: http://booboozoo.etsy.com

Please help the Nebraska Border Collie Rescue!

Help the Nebraska Border Collie Rescue win a $10,000 grant!

Vote for them at www.theanimalrescuesite.com and they could win $10,000 to help pets in need. Right now, they are ranked #4 in Nebraska - we'd like to move them up to #1 and then get them ranked nationally by December!!!

The Nebraska Border Collie Rescue is a nonprofit, all volunteer group based out of Bellevue, NE that rescues Border Collies from all over the region. They rescue Border Collies that are surrendered to shelters, picked up as strays, or relinquished by those who can no longer care for them. Because of space and funding limitations, most shelters euthanize these dogs if they are not adopted within a short time.

Border collies have an especially high rate of surrender due to their intense characteristics. They are very intelligent and often need more interaction and attention than other breeds.

Here are some of the sweeties the Nebraska Border Collie Rescue is currently trying to find homes for:

Kyna: http://rescuebc.homestead.com/Dudley.html

Gogarty: http://rescuebc.homestead.com/Bo.html

Tavish: http://rescuebc.homestead.com/Tavish.html

Cecilia: http://rescuebc.homestead.com/Lorna.html

Not only does the Nebraska Border Collie Rescue save these dogs, but they also pay to spay or neuter them AND microchip them!! So they really need this prize money to help cover the costs of all the great work that they do.

The Nebraska Border Collie Rescue also has a program where you can "Foster to Adopt!" That means you can try fostering a Border Collie before making the final decision to adopt, to see if he or she is the right dog for you.

The Animal Rescue Site is a "Click to Give" website. You can click on a button to help fund food and care for animals. It's free, and only takes a second of your time. Click every day. A button is located on the Nebraska Border Collie Rescue website at: http://rescuebc.homestead.com/

It's the 2 Year Sneakerversary!!! Come Join in the Fun!

In honor of the 2 Year Sneakerversary today, I will not be offering a half price item but instead ask that you all consider joining in on the 2 Year Sneakerversary Sneak Attack!!

That’s right, Sneak Attacks are about to turn two years old! The first Sneak Attack happened on September 24, 2008, and we’ll be celebrating the second annual “Sneakerversary” – two years of giving new/undiscovered Etsy shops a kindly boost – on Thursday, September 23, 2010, with a special Sneak Attack and a BIG giveaway of items generously donated by Etsy shop owners.

What is a Sneak Attack?

It's a way to support independent artisans who are trying to sell their wares online. Two days a week at an appointed time, an Etsy shop with few or no sales is announced on this site. As many people as possible then buy items from that shop, resulting in a frenzy of surprise business to the unsuspecting shop! Even if you don't have money, you can still support the attack by giving the shops chosen extra item views, shop views, item hearts, and shop hearts! :) It's a win-win situation for everyone involved!

Today's attack is special - it will be a "Sneakers Mall", which is where each of the Etsy SNEAKers (Sneakers Notorious on Etsy for Attacking with Kindness) nominates one or two shops, then at the designated time (which is 6pm Etsy time today!) the list is posted in the thread!!

To join in the fun, and to help spread the word, please join us at: http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=6632290&page=1

We'd also love it if you would spread the word in your own way - blog, tweet, facebook, or whatever! :) The bigger the turnout, the more fun we will have!

One last thing - there is a HUGE giveaway in honor of this Sneakerversary, and there is still time to enter! Over $250 worth of prizes are going to be given away at 5pm Etsy time today, and you have until 4pm Etsy time to enter!! Here's the information on entering to win: http://www.handmademovement.com/2010/09/two-year-sneakerversary/

I hope to see you at today's attack! :)

(and I also hope I win the grand prize! lol)
