Turtle Tuesday • Last Chance to Enter

Today is the last chance to enter the giveaway!  Tomorrow I will draw a number at random using the random number generator from random.org.  The votes are in, and one lucky winner will win "The Stella" flower Snappee,  a 5 petal satin flower Snappee in the winner's choice of color, and the winner's choice of either one cream satin covered, interchangeable headband or two elastic interchangeable headbands in two different coordinating colors.

This weekend we traveled up to Naperville, IL for Labor Day weekend to hang out with some dear friends who recently moved away.   One of the Snappees my friend ordered for her daughter, Morgan, was "The Stella," so she got to model it for me!  This is Morgan, sporting "The Stella" flower Snappee with a white 1/4" elastic band.  Doesn't she look super cute?!

The first night we went out for deep dish pizza in downtown Naperville at Lou Malnatti's.  Stella debuted one of my finished 5 petal satin flower Snappees in magenta.  Stella was loving that lemon!  She didn't cry until I tried to take it away from her!  Silly girl!  I guess she gets it from her mama, because I actually love lemons!

Here are a bunch of the colors of elastic I just received in the mail today!  The lucky winner will get to choose between 1/8" or 1/4" elastic.  The 1/8" comes in 26 different colors, and the 1/4" comes in 17 different colors.  Yummo!!

You still have an hour to get an entry in!  Enter now, so you don't miss out!  Just make sure you click on the "I DID THIS" button for your entry to be counted in the giveaway!

Looking forward to seeing who wins!  Thanks for participating!!

HOW THE WINNER IS DETERMINED

A random number generator will be used to come up with the winning number.  Who that winning number is will be decided by assigning a range of numbers to each comment, depending on how many qualifying entries that person who commented had.  Numbers will be assigned starting with the first comment.

For example:
The random winning number is 11.

The first comment was from Suzie Sewsalot who is a follower on Facebook, Blogger & Networked Blogs (3 entries).  She also tagged @Snappee Turtle on Facebook (1 entry) and 2 other commenters said they were coming over from Suzie Sewsalot's Facebook post (2 entries).  Suzie would have a total of 6 entries, so she would be assigned numbers 1-6.

The second commenter was from Nora Needles who is a new Facebook fan (1 entry).  Nora would have a total of 1 entry, so she would be assigned just the number 7.

The next commenter was from Betsy Bobbin who is a follower on Blogger and Twitter (2 entries).  She also mentioned #SnappeeTurtle on Twitter (1 entry) and one other commenter said she was coming over from Betsy Bobbin's tweet on Twitter (1 entry).  Betsey would have a total of 4 entries, so she would be assigned numbers 8-11.

Besty Bobbin would be the winner with the random winning number of 11!

READY, SET, GO!!!
I hope this makes sense, and I look forward to seeing who wins!

Best regards,

Turtle Tuesday • New Snappee: The Linda

Miss Turtle would like to introduce a new Snappee to you all!  Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this post for another ANNOUNCEMENT!!

The Linda

A friend of mine from high school, Linda, got married this past weekend.  Unfortunately, we missed the ceremony, because I goofed on the time zone.  I thought where we were traveling to was an hour behind us, but it wasn't!  We were early to the reception, though.

I wish I could've taken more pictures, but we were too busy chasing our little munchkin around.  Stella was wearing her first pair of hard sole shoes, and she just loved the sound they made on the tile floor!  All she wanted to do was run around.  The reception was beautiful, and Linda even did mostly everything DIY.  The bridesmaids' dresses were cobalt blue, and they carried hot pink flower bouquets.  I loved the colors together!

Linda had mentioned her wedding colors on their wedding website prior to the wedding.  When I know what the wedding colors are going to be, I always love to make a matching card.  As I was making her card, I was inspired to create a new Snappee!  Since my snaps won't arrive until the end of the month, I decided to make it into a pin and attached it to the card.  I didn't have any pin backs, so I had to use a safety pin.

It was fun to make, and I love when something simple inspires me to create something new!


Miss Turtle would like to announce that all Snappees can now come in your choice of a pin, an alligator clip or magnetic snap!  There is now a drop down menu to choose from when shopping on the Facebook store front.


Toodles,

Miss Turtle
