It seems like just yesterday I was "struggling" to get 50 fans but 1000?! That is so amazing to me and shows you anything is possible. I have met some pretty wonderful people on this journey and feel so incredibly blessed to know them. I really do feel good about EverLaughter and the path it is on. <br />
<br />
Sooo as a big thank you to all of those wonderful fans, I have offered a 50% off coupon good for the entire purchase. There are only 50 available and does not include the pattern packs. It is available in my <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/stores/everlaughter">Ravelry</a> store only and will end next Saturday on the 10th. Coupon code is 1000FANS<br />
<br />
I also have a giveaway going on for $10 and $5 dollar coupons. To enter you just have to comment on this <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=242364205798915&set=a.242103442491658.51042.135148366520500&type=1&theater">picture</a> on facebook. The drawing will be on Monday and winners need to contact me within 48 hours. <br />
<br />
I have one other thing planned for sure but it's not quite ready so it will have to wait.<br />
<br />
In other wonderful news, I am part of this <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.273704349306308.76995.182095548467189">awesome giveaway</a>! So excited! Go check it out and win some really cool patterns as well as items!<br />

Right now there is a 20% off sale in all my shops using HAPPY4TH for the coupon code. I plan to take today and tomorrow off completely and spend it with my family. I hope everyone is having a great weekend!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684122366675610499.post-26025583200040384152011-06-27T21:07:00.000-07:002011-06-27T21:07:55.215-07:00RavelryI have recently gotten all of my patterns listed on <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/stores/everlaughter">Ravelry</a>. I love that people can download the files right there. They don't have to wait for me to send an email. I have also set it up so that there is a $3.00 discount for every 3 patterns purchased done automatically without a coupon code or special listing. It's wonderful!<br />
<br />
I have not had time to get some new patterns completed yet. I plan to do some sort of poll on facebook for which one to work on first, otherwise I will try to do 3 or more at once. Not a good idea. Some of the suggestions will be:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>people-girl, boy, princess, prince</li>
<li>weather-cloud, rain, and sun</li>
<li>farm-tractor, sheep, pig, etc</li>
<li>piper posy</li>
</ul><br />
<br />
I am really looking forward to coming up with new ideas as well. I should be able to focus on just that later this week.<br />
<br />
Also going to set up a section in my shop for ready-to-ship applique. Hopefully I can still offer a few of them that way.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684122366675610499.post-38082744096234379072011-06-19T21:09:00.000-07:002011-06-19T22:11:42.876-07:00It was a busy week!Since the last post, I have<br />

Stay tuned!</div><div><br />
