a MOO & dottie giveaway, hip hip hooray...

please note this GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED

oh yes indeedy! i am positively beaming, for exactly 5 years ago today i turned the little sign on my etsy store to OPEN and in doing so a whole new world opened up to me. in the past 5 years there have been a few crappity crap moments but those have been far far outweighed by the peachy perfect ones. 

from selling my first 'dottie angel' slips, starting to ramble upon this here my shiny place, continuing to handcraft wares whilst designing an range for dottie angel ltd, to having a book published with UPPERCASE and now reaching over 1000 sales in my little store. all of which would not, could not, be possible without you my dearest readers and customers, who choose to spend your time with me and continue to encourage me along this handcrafted path i am treading.

so without a doubt i could not let this milestone pass without celebration and fortunately for me and for you, the printing lads at MOO.com think it worthy of celebrating too! i am quite sure many of you know MOO cards, i love everything about them, i love their ethics, their uniqueness in the printing world, i love their tippity top quality goods and the thing, yes the very thing that made me fall in love with them more than any other thing. the fact i can choose to have a different image on every single 'mini, business, postcard, greeting card or sticker book', to me meant love at first sight.

and so the good folks at MOO have 3 sets of 100 business cards up for grabs for 3 dearest readers and to add to this bounty, i will be giving away 3 copies of my book (with personal scribblings inside) to accompany the business cards to their new homes.

now before you fretfully say "well that is all very well Tif, but i do not have a business, therefore what use would this be to me" and i say, quite right, one could be forgiven for thinking such a thing. however MOO business cards have the potential to be so much more than a business card, and we do love something with potential. i am thinking just how wonderful to have 100 little cards with spiffy rounded corners printed, with spiffy images on one side and something lovely written on the other. perhaps 'oh hello' would be enough, or 'happy birthday' and right there and then, you would have yourself 100 lovely gift tags.

indeed if you have ever bought our dottie angel tea towels you will note they come with a mini MOO card and on the back it simply says 'do have high hopes', so the potential in what 100 of these cards could become is down to only what your imagination can conjure up...
