or one like it if this sells, with piles of goodies from different Shops that have donated an item. Each donation will get it's own picture with a short write-up on your shop and a link to your shop. Plus - in the rules to winning the Grand Prize - will be instructions to go to the shops listed and come back to my blog and tell me what they liked.


The Give Away will run for the whole month of April. I plan on promoting promoting promoting like mad and have found some give away blogs to list it on that get quite a bit of traffic.


So - if your are interested in helping me celebrate my Birthday with this awesome give away - Please email me!! (the link is on the left sidebar) I would need to receive the item by the end of March - So I can get the pic onto the give away post.

LeBoutique Feature and Give Away!!

AND THE WINNER IS:
Thank-you to everyone who entered!!

I'm going to do something different for Feb. Thought it would be nice to have 2 features and 2 give aways in one month. Of course that means you don't have as much time to enter the give away!! And they are good ones!!


The first feature/give away is brought to you by LeBoutique an Etsy shop run by Carmen from California.

#1. How did you decide on your shop name?
I originally wanted to name ‘La Boutique’ using the ‘La’ in Spanish, but it wasn’t available. The reason I chose this name is because eventually I want to sell clothes as well (right now my apt is really small and doesn’t give me the liberty to do it) and I figured this name didn’t limit me.


#2. When did you start crafting?
I’ve always been a crafter. My mom always had us doing crafts ever since I can remember. I learned how to embroider when I was 7!


#3. What or who inspires you?
The fabric or whatever material I have on hand or see at the stores.

#4. Do you have a day job?
Yes I do. I am a project administrator for one of the biggest nonprofit drug and alcohol treatment programs.


#5. What is the item in your shop you enjoyed making the most and why?
All of them. I don’t have a favorite. Everything I make is something I would totally wear.

Audrey's Accolades:
If you every wear your hair pinned back or in a pony tail - this is the shop for you. The bobbies and pony tail holders are so nice! I can't imagine the work it must be to put the lovely fabric onto the items. Amazing!
So here is my pick for the favorite item in Carmen's shop and it is also the Give Away item. The Give Away will run from today until Feb. 14th. Wouldn't this wallet make a lovely Valentine's gift for yourself?

To enter - go to Carmen's shop - LeBoutique, and pick your favorite item. Come back here and tell us what it is. It's that easy to enter!!




GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!!

Audrey's Country Crafts is in no way responsible for the mailing of the prize. After the name is drawn I will contact that person. They have 3 days to respond before another name will be picked! The name and address will be forwarded to Carmen at LeBoutique. Thank-you for entering.
