Amazing Etsy Monday (on a Tuesday)

2011-09-06T14:06:00.000-07:00

Welcome to Amazing Etsy Monday - even if it is on Tuesday. My fabulous Labor Day weekend got in the way of blogging yesterday.

I feature undiscovered treasures just waiting for someone to love and adore them.

So anyway..... as of the moment I searched through Etsy, none of these shop owners have had any sales in their stores. There are so many amazing Etsy items available,
these just need a little extra attention because they really really deserve it. I also try to choose items with very reasonable prices.

If you aren't familiar with Etsy, you have been missing out.
It's a super fabulous web home to crafters & artists of all types.
You can find something for just a couple bucks to something a few hundred dollars. Who knows, maybe even in the thousands.
I know there are some one of a kind large paintings and sculptures available.

Hopefully you like some of these awesome finds...
(all item descriptions are linked so you can easily shop)
I'm also including the list prices too.. some are fabulous bargains!

Mother of Pearl Earrings $30

Sparkling Midnight Earrings $23

One of a Kind "Mini Clutch" style TeeBag, Pinks and Browns with Animal Print created from recycled apparel. $15.54

SALE-Personalized Baby Gift- Appliqued Initials- Pink $18

Mosaic Flower Picture Frame - Great for a baby nursery or children's room decor $33

I hope you enjoyed my newest finds.

Eversave Survey Reveals Secret Facebook Opinions and Habits of Women

Survey by daily deals leader Eversave goes beyond online couponing, revealing love/hate
relationship with Facebook connections

WAKEFIELD, MA – March 30, 2011 – More than 400 women revealed their secret
Facebook habits and opinions in a survey that showed there’s a fine line between friend
and “frenemy.”

The survey was conducted by Eversave, a company offering daily deals called “Saves,”
to better understand the impact of social networking on deals but results also uncovered
the surprising love/hate relationship women have with the ubiquitous social networking
site.

Eversave did confirm that one more reason women like Facebook is alerts on daily deals,
one of the fastest-growing online activities today. Eighty-seven percent of the women
said they find out about deals by “liking” daily deal companies on Facebook and 45
percent learn about savings through their friends’ posts.

However, the data also uncovered some interesting things about Facebook friendships.
The survey reveals that while women use Facebook to keep their friends informed about
what they are up to (79 percent) and share interesting and/or funny links and videos (64
percent), they have little tolerance for friends who use the site to brag or overshare.
In fact, 85 percent of those surveyed claim they have been annoyed by their online
friends, and that these bothersome behaviors topped the list:
• Complaining all the time (63 percent)
• Sharing unsolicited political views (42 percent)
• Bragging about seemingly perfect lives (32 percent)

Despite the occasional annoyances, women appreciate Facebook for allowing them to see
friends’ photos and videos (91 percent) and helping them search for long lost friends (76
percent).

But women may want to think twice before accepting a friend request -- survey
respondents opened up about their true feelings when asked if they were friends with any
of these online personalities:
• The documentarian, they update their status with their every move (65 percent)
• The drama queen, everything’s a crisis with this friend (61 percent)
• The proud mama, they think Junior’s every move is newsworthy (57 percent)
• The incessant liker, they “like” every post (46 percent)
• The slactivist, don’t they know Facebook can’t cure cancer? (40 percent)
• The poser, they project an image of life so perfect, and it’s not true (40 percent)

“The ironic issue is that many women may not even know they are being classified or
thought of that way by their Facebook friends,” said Charlene DeLoach Oliver, JD,
CISR, an attorney-turned-Blogger at CharleneChronicles.com. “Most people regard
social media, like Facebook, as a place to gripe or boast because they often can’t do it in
real life. In the alternative, they also use it as a tool to connect with people, stay abreast
of breaking news, and find great deals, contests, and giveaways.”

“I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook,” commented one respondent, Jennifer
Brocato of Raynham, Mass. “On one hand, it keeps me in contact with friends and
family I rarely see and get to talk to. On the other hand, it can be a huge time waster! All
in all, I am glad Facebook exists.”

“The survey validated our thinking on Facebook’s growing influence on daily deals, but
we were surprised by responses that show the love/hate relationship women have with
Facebook,” said Jere Doyle, CEO of Prospectiv, which owns Eversave.

I have totally switched up my blog since I stopped selling my designs in a store. Now, instead of it being called Sara Ellis Designs (a/k/a Scrap Sassy Silly), it's Plaid Punch. I share my favorite daily deals, FREE MP3 downloads, recipes, Gap promotions, blog updates, and other interesting tidbits. Please be sure to check out my current blog GIVEAWAY! Sweet*n*Sassy Creations, Spreading the Swagbucks love again, Eversave: marshmallow heaven!!!, and any of my other previous bloggings.

You also might be able to locate a few previous digiscrap freebies of mine if you search really heard for them. I actually share many more fabulous finds on my Plaid Punch fan page than I do here on my blog.

Without further delay…here’s Miss Happy Heart … Enjoy

Remember... it is always very nice to leave a tiny thank you if you grab a freebie from me or any other artist leaving you a gift.

Be sure to grab ALL three of the zips to get the entire kit.

Are you missing out???

I bet you probably are.

Some days I may have a whopping eight updates on my blog and other days maybe zero....BUT... most days my new Plaid Punch fan page is not neglected in the slightest. I'm finding so many great finds and sharing them like crazy. I may not be able to purchase everything I find, so I get satisfaction from sharing them with everyone else. Hopefully I'm introducing you to some pretty nifty new-to-you finds.

Today I've shared about numerous topics: how to make Snow Ice Cream, Dale and Thomas chocolate covered popcorn, savings at The Gap, giveaways for gift cards, daily deals from Eversave, Zulily, and Mamapedia, recipes, and so much more.

How do you like all of these fabulous Plaid Punch finds?

Using Swagbucks as your primary search engine and also using it as the initial source to purchase your Groupons and Living Social Deals will help you get the same fabulous deals. There are many other ways to utilize Swagbucks, but those two ways are my primary sources.

hey friends...

If you haven't noticed lately.... I'm not sure how you couldn't notice ........... I changed the whole format of my blog. Digital Scrapbooking went from the majority to the minority.... and all the fabulous fun finds are now the majority. If you are a friend of mine on Facebook, you know that I LOVE to share lots of the fabulous goodies I find. I held back a little bit because I didn't want to over kill it on my personal page. Soooo, my Plaid Punch fan page was born. Now the majority of my finds are showcased there. I still share a few on my personal page, just not near as many as I do on my Plaid Punch Facebook Fan Page.

Some finds are shared on my blog too.... BUT... most are shared on the fan page.

Now, remember when I started my Big Brother 12 NEEDS Sara Ellis fan page last year. My fan base grew really fast. Most of them are still there. Well, over 400 of them.

I only have 29 fans with Plaid Punch right now. I showcase my favorite daily deals, FREE MP3 downloads, BlogFrog conversations, Gap promotions, blog updates, and other interesting tidbits. I'm sure you will enjoy it.
and...........from time to time I will still have a digiscrap freebie here and I'll share it there too.

BOGO love + coupon love

2011-01-26T00:56:00.000-07:00

I'm trying to rock my coupons like the pros. Trying is the operative word here. Tonight I felt pretty happy with my coupon and Safeway promo matching. I SAVED 83%! Score 1 for me. Yay! If I would have planned better or walked around the store more to stumble upon more of B1G1 FREE items, I only went in since it's the last day of the week-long promo and I needed to pick up the Ken's Salad Dressing - his absolute favorite is the Ken's Italian dressing. Well, they only had Northern Italian Lite in stock, not the plain old regular Italian. After a little contemplation, I went ahead and picked up four bottles. If he doesn't care for it, I will exchange them later.

While in the checkout lane, I saw a bunch of candy for B1G1 free also. I skimmed my coupons and realized that I had B1G1 coupons for Hershey's chocolate bars too. Yay!

so... here's my rundown:

* 4 Ken's Lite Northern Italian dressing $7.98 with BOGO

(reg. $15.96 for the four)

*4 $1.00 off Ken's coupons = -$4.00

*8 Hershey's chocolate bars (milk & dark) $3.56 with BOGO

(reg $7.12 for the eight)

*4 B1G1 Hershey's coupons = -$3.56

***TOTAL paid $4.21 (with .23 tax)

***saved 83%

I would have purchased more Ken's dressing, BUT Safeway has a limit of only four coupons per item :(

ok.. now hopefully this teaches me to look at the ads better, utilize the B1G1 promos, keep purchasing multiple Sunday papers and The Dollar Tree ($1 each instead of $2), and save even more money!

411 for bloggers and lovers of blogs ...

2011-01-20T22:29:00.001-07:00

I've mentioned a few times in the last month that I've been hanging out at BlogFrog recently. Well, I thought I'd let you know again about why I think it's a cool place to be - whether you are a blogger or not.

*Get connected with thousands and even millions of other bloggers, mainly mom-bloggers.
"In less than 18 months, BlogFrog has become the nation’s fastest growing women’s network with over 50,000 mom bloggers reaching over 5.5 million women online."

*There are many communities available for almost any interest you can think of. You can find one about bargains (i.e. Frugal Living Community or Southern Savers), crafts (Teaching Tiny Tots: Activities, Crafts, Lesson Pl), infertility (Single Infertile Female: Now What?), photography (Mommy's Camera), cooking (The Menu Mom), and so many other topics.

*If you need advice or want to find an answer about whatever is on your mind, just plug a word or two into the Blogfrog search engine. You can find a community that might be about that topic or you can search for any discussions that have occurred about that same information.

*Anyone can start their own community and/or follow already established communities like ones I mentioned earlier. I own the Plaid Punch Community. It's still very new and in the growing stages. (Please feel free to follow it.) If you do have your own community, it's ideal to participate in some other ones too. I usually just glance at the "Hot Discussions" or the "Latest Activity" on the home page and jump into discussions that interest me.

*Because of the connections made at Blogfrog, it drives more people to my blog and Twitter. I tweet with several BFFs (Blogfrog Friends).

*It's also so super easy to embed any conversation you start into your blog. I've already done that a few times.

You can learn so much more about Blogfrog, how powerful and influential it can be, please read more about it: BlogFrog Launches as Nation’s Largest Network of Mom Blogs

my Groupon love

2011-01-20T09:50:00.002-07:00

    ok.. I finally bought my first Groupon.. YAY! I've been a Mamapedia Sweet Deals girl until now, but I didn't want to pass up on this deal for an upscale resale boutique that I love, Ivy Boutique.

    Since I totally forgot to buy it through Swagbucks, I decided to buy a second one as a gift for my husband (aren't I so sweet?).

    Apparently I had $30 in credit ($10 for my first purchase and $20 from referrals - YAY!).... soooo that I meant that I only paid $10 for $80 of merchandise. I'm so excited! AND... even better.. I bought one through Swagbucks so I earned 280SB ... woo-hoo! such a nice way to start my Wednesday!

P365 template FREEBIE

2011-01-15T08:43:00.000-07:00

hey there...

I have a special treat for you. It's been about a month or so since I've had a little goodie for you and that's too long. Don't you think? Soooo... since I'm participating in Project 365 again and I know many others are too, I have this pretty little template for you. Even if you aren't playing along with it, it could still be a nice addition for your stash to scrap a multi-photo page.

Feel free to turn it on it's side or upside down. Make it fit your pictures and tell a little story. If you love it and want to grab this, please be sure to let me know with a little thank you and then tell your friends to come and visit over here. You never know what other fabulous finds you can find here in my special home. Please visit the rest of my blog, I have a design swap request in my previous post HERE,

other freebies from previous blog trains HERE,

and I'm always talking about fabulous bargains and promotions at The Gap

and elsewhere on the web.

And now.... what you've been waiting for....

blog design swap... maybe?

2011-01-14T13:53:00.002-07:00

ok.. who wants to swap with me?

I have no idea how to do HTML coding and I don't know what sizing anything needs to be (except the banner) ... but I am a digital scrapbook designer (taking a mini hiatus from selling right now).

I'm going to add a freebie template for Project 365 hopefully by later tonight. For now, you can grab my freebie from last month, a wallpaper and some cards - you can find it at the end of this blogging... just keep reading for now :)

I really don't want to pay for anyone to redo my blog again ... and it's been over a year since it has looked like it does.

Sooooo.... who would like to revamp my blog? I can provide the designs for my blog.. as well as yours (if you would like).. or maybe I could design some custom cards for you.

I would really love to change the name of my blog and make it match my Plaid Punch Community more.. or coordinate with it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

MLK weekend at The Gap

2011-01-13T15:00:00.001-07:00

we're having fun at The Gap this long MLK weekend....

Now thru Sunday (Jan 13th - 16th) everyone gets 30% off {almost} everything just for walking into the stores. The {almost} means that it does exclude Gap Body and all denim in every department.

... BUT.... Gap Body Fit workout gear is 30% off the regular prices. Have you tried it yet? I swear the runners who shop in our store swear our Body Fit leggings are incredible and so much better than any other high-priced brand out there.

AND.... for all the special people like you .....Fri & Sat is better with 40% off {almost} everything ...

this time the {almost} is a little different because it is not valid on 1969 jeans or Junk Food... you need to have this coupon to receive the 40% off (print it or show your phone)

here's some fabulous clothes for you to fall in love with and grab with these offers this weekend -

Remember, Sunday you will get the 30% off again just for walking into the store and being your special self.

There is another coupon out there for extra duper special people to receive a BOGO, but that was mailed to those extra special people and you MUST have that card in order to get that discount. I'm sorry I can not help you with that one. If you did receive one in the mail recently - congrats to you, you super duper special Gap shopper!!!

I know MLK is on Monday and I haven't mentioned anything about that promo. Well, do you know what that means... you just need to check in with me later for a future announcement.

***Offer valid at Gap stores in the U.S. only. Please see stores for more details.

**all promotions and events are subject to change without prior notice**

I Heart Faces - Smile!

2011-01-10T14:12:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since I have participated in the I Heart Faces weekly photo challenge. Maybe 6 months or so. That is crazy! Well, it's the beginning of the year and I decided it's time to play again. This week's theme is "Smile".

I just love Hudson's toothless smile.

He lost his 7th tooth last week which makes 5 holes in his smile now. Luckily 2 of the missing teeth are starting to come in. BTW, he isn't even 6.5 years old yet.

Now, if you haven't already.... join in on the weekly photo challenges at I Heart Faces.

my newest Gap bargain

2011-01-09T22:15:00.000-07:00

ok... you know I always find fabulous Gap bargains since I work there and I love telling all of you about all of our super incredible promotions.....

well, today I ended up with the best bargain I've snagged there in a really long time -

my newest LBD (Little Black Dress):

Isn't it oh-so-pretty?

I have been wanting it for a few weeks, but since I'm a bargain bunny I just kept waiting and luckily it stayed in our store long enough for me to get a major score. It regularly retails for $79.50 in the store, but we marked it down again today to $18.97 ... AND.... all of our markdown items were an ADDITIONAL 40% off the sale prices .... soooo I only paid $11.38 for this beauty! That's a little more than 85% off the orig. price.

(The online price is alot more expensive than the sale price in the stores... and ... all stores have localized markdown prices which means that it could be a slightly different price at each store. Call your local store to see if your size is in stock. If it isn't, call 1-800-GAPSTYLE and they can locate one in a store for you and have it shipped to you for only $6.)

Quesadilla Maker recipes??

2011-01-07T10:31:00.003-07:00

    ok.. I know you typically make quesadillas with a quesadilla maker ....

    but...... I have a feeling you can probably make more things ... I Swagbucked for answers and I only found one list of recipes which had all quesadillas AND a toasted peanut butter and jelly

    sooooooo.. I decided to make that yesterday... I didn't think I had too much jelly in it, but apparently I did ... it oooozed out and was a mess

    today I thought I'd try eggs ... I mixed a couple eggs, a little milk, and a little bit of shredded monterey jack & chedder..... another oozing mess, what stayed in there was good, but maybe next time I should only use one egg

I really should have taken pics of the messes... especially with participating in Project 365... it would have been my perfect pic for the day

    have you tried making anything else with it? how about pancakes? how much before it oozes out?

If it strictly pertains to Casa Paloma, I state that information.

Project 365.... 2011

2011-01-04T09:52:00.001-07:00

        I started Project 365 last year, but unfortunately I didn't get to the end of February.


        Have you been able to make it thru an entire year? Are you going to attempt it for 2011?


        Here's my small attempt at 2010.... P365 ......I just went thru all of my posts and LOVED looking at those memories. I better do a better job in 2011 .. I've already started

Visit the "project 365 anyone?" Discussion

here's my fave pic from yesterday...

.... my Snaggletooth boy, Hudson. He is only 6 years old (not even 6.5 until March), but he just lost his 7th tooth today! He has two permanent teeth on the bottom and five holes. At least two more permanent teeth are starting to finally come in. So he'll only have 3 holes pretty soon. I don't think he has any other loose ones..... for now.

Hoarders!

2011-01-04T09:46:00.001-07:00

    Do you watch Hoarders on A&E? I haven't watched it in a few weeks, maybe months..... BUT.... both cases on it are about animal hoarders, they hoard stuff too, but the animals part is just soooo sad!

Stylish Blogger Award..

2011-01-03T12:44:00.000-07:00

This is a blog award that I haven’t seen before…and even better, it spotlights some of your newest blog finds that you are loving! This is the chance to share some of my new finds with you all!!
I want to start by thanking Cori over at Cori's Big Mouth! Thanks so much for passing this along to me, I really appreciate it! What a great way to start out 2011 with a Stylish Blogger Award! I feel so loved and special!

There are 4 duties to perform to accept this award:

1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award

2. Share 7 things about yourself

3. Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers

4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award!

Now about myself…my favorite thing to talk about!!

7 Things About Myself:

I am a Mizzou Tiger. (M-I-Z---Z-O-U!!!)
I used to look like Molly Ringwald back in the 80s (the John Hughes era)
I am a reality tv junkie (especially late night on cable).
I love, love, love board games (keeping Cori's answer)
I stay up until midnight most nights.(it's my "me" time)
I would love to skydive at least once. (I'm sure it's so exhilarating)
I love making yummy sweet treats. (cake balls, kiss pies, indoor s'mores, brownie bites, etc)

15 8 New Blogs I Enjoy!

Well.... 15 seemed like a ton of work for me... and 8 is a little more than half, so I'm settling with that. I know they are supposed to all be recently discovered blogs too, BUT... I had to include my very very faves, Picky Palate, Tip Junkie, and Kevin and Amanda. All the others are really truly new to me and seem oh so fabulous too.

My {almost} FREE Christmas

2010-12-27T01:05:00.001-07:00

ok...most of you already know that I am a major bargain bunny and I couldn't be more excited about my (almost} FREE Christmas shopping. My friends Swagbucks and Mamapedia Sweet Deals helped me do just that.

well, it took me a while to get a hang of it.... and I'm not a Swagbucks expert, but I love it how I use it....

I downloaded the SB toolbar and I connected it to Facebook... I use the search tool bar just like google. It's like a slot machine in a way, sometimes when you search you can be awarded SB. I've earned 3-50 SB just from searching. Tuesdays and Fridays are mega days with larger awards than other days.
Referrals also earn you SB too. Say Cyndi earns SB by searching or doing whatever, I will earn them too when she does.

When I earn any SB, it automatically sends a message to Facebook and it also gives me an option to send to Twitter or any other social media outlet. That way, hopefully someone can register with Swagbucks with me as their referral.

I certainly don't spend all day searching the web or searching for Swagcodes.... but sometimes I do just plug in random nothing words into the search tool to try and win

some... and it works.

You can also earn them now by printing your coupon.com coupons through there and purchasing your Groupons and Living Social deals too.

You can use your SB to purchase Amazon gift cards or many other things. One of the best economical choices is to purchase the $5 Amazon GC. There is a max of 5 GC per month allowable. Twice a month Swagbucks sends a code to claim your Amazon GCs. It can then be deposited into your Amazon gift card account. There is no limit and no expiration. When you shop at Amazon, it automatically takes it from your GC balance..... so it's FREE shopping... who doesn't love that?

I've earned $85 in FREE Amazon gift cards since April. I could've earned more if I really used it earlier in the year like I do now.

I'm sure I will have well over $200 in FREE Amazon money for next Christmas.

Also.. if you don't already know... you get more bang for your buck if you purchase $5 Amazon cards at a time instead of the $20 or $25 ones.

Here's some of the Christmas gifts I ordered from Amazon for FREE...

Monterrey Series MT45711 Quesadilla Baker

Rory's Story Cubes

LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game Scholastic I Spy

Aren't you excited? Don't you want to start winning some Swagbucks today? Just click that pretty little blue box below and get started now.

I hope I explained it well enough for you.

Let me know if you have any questions, and I'll try to help

And now time to tell you about my fabulous friend, Mamapedia....

It operates very similarly to Groupon, but each deal is valid for three days, 5% of your purchases go to the school of your choice, AND... it's really easy to earn referral $$$.

Mamapedia's specials are for mom/family friendly bargains.

So far I've earned $120 in referrals in almost 2.5 months.

Back in mid-October I saw this fab deal on one of my friend's Facebook status updates so I signed up, posted the links to it on Facebook and Twitter ... and then after work I saw that someone used me as a referral and purchased these super cheap movie tickets so I ended up with a $10 credit... and I used $8 of that to purchase my 2 movie tickets for FREE.... I love it!
I cranked in most of my referrals during the AMC Movie tickets offer and a Starbucks gift card offer.

below is the standard referral info from Mamapedia Sweet Deals..
http://deals.mamapedia.com/?ref_id=21300

take a gander at some of my fabulous deals I've received for free with my referral credits ---

*$15 for $30 Worth of Merchandise from The Organized Parent - I bought two vouchers shich I used to purchase these super cute personalized water bottles...

*$20 for $40 worth of Great Toys from Back To Basics Toys - I used this voucher to receive a few different BOB book sets like this...

*$20 for $40 Worth of Reebok, Crocs, Steve Madden and all your favorite brands plus Free Shipping at ShoeMall.com - I used my voucher to get these super fun Crocs boots for my youngest son. They are his favorite color and now he'll be able to wear fireman boots like his friends.

and I was also able to get these for me...

too bad the boots are on backorder...but Griffin will still be able to wear them for a while

Order Total
Merchandise Total:	$40.94
Promotional Discount:	-$40.00
Standard Shipping:	FREE
Estimated Tax:	$0.00

Order Total:	$0.94

Look at that! I paid less than a dollar for both of those pairs of shoes. Remember that I used my referral credit to purchase this deal, so it truly was only 94 cents that I paid for these.

I LOVE Mamapedia Sweet Deals!!!!!!!!!! BUT.... they took a teeny break for the holidays so only one brand new deal is available right now.

$15 for $30 Worth of Kids Clothing & Apparel at Kidorable

Kidorable has the CUTEST themed outfits, mainly rain jackets and umbrellas, but definitely more than just that. You can find frog, ballerina, ladybug, pirate themes, plus many other fun ones.

Please be sure to sign up with Mamapedia now and then you will start receiving their offers in your inbox very soon.

Sooooo... between my Swagbucks Free Amazon money and my Mamapedia referral bucks... I think I spent $160 in FREE money for Christmas gifts. Christmas 2011 is going to be soooooo much sweeter since I will have the entire year to earn more.

Another Amazing Etsy Monday! (should I start calling this Tuesday instead???)

2010-12-21T13:37:00.000-07:00

Welcome to Amazing Etsy Monday.
I feature undiscovered treasures just waiting for someone to love and adore them.

So anyway..... as of the moment I searched through Etsy, none of these shop owners have had any sales in their stores. There are so many amazing Etsy items available,
these just need a little extra attention because they really really deserve it. I also try to choose items with very reasonable prices.

If you aren't familiar with Etsy, you have been missing out.
It's a super fabulous web home to crafters & artists of all types.
You can find something for just a couple bucks to something a few hundred dollars. Who knows, maybe even in the thousands.
I know there are some one of a kind large paintings and sculptures available.

Hopefully you like some of these awesome finds...
(all item descriptions are linked so you can easily shop)
I'm also including the list prices too.. some are fabulous bargains!

Hand Embroidered Kawari Cuff Bracelet by IMU2u $39

From IMU2u

Romantic Red Studded Heart T-Shirt $17

Wanna Be Balanced Binder $40

From crystalesco

Warm Light Cowl $15

From SprinkleBee

Vroom Vroom $20

From artbysarahb

Rope Flower Hair Clips $4

From DESERRIE

I hope you enjoyed my newest finds.

It seems like half of what I showcase is sold by the following Monday. I never know if my blogging had anything to do with it or not..... sooooo... I would greatly appreciate it, if you could let me know if you end up purchasing something I have listed here or even maybe something else from their shops. Thanks :)

I feel like a rockstar!!!

2010-12-17T00:38:00.000-07:00

ok... you know I'm the Social Media Leader for my Gap store.

wellllll....
I am very envious of the Gap at Southpark Mall's Facebook Fan page since they have over 1800 fans. It grows and it grows and it grows. I can not wait until my Casa Paloma store page is like that. I guess my store page is kind of the envy of the other Arizona stores, since it is the largest with 259 fans. If I could get all of my co-workers on board and talk it up, that would definitely help.

BUT.....

Twitter is another story! I felt like a rock star today when I saw a tweet telling @Gap_CasaPaloma that it was famous. This guy from Atlanta blogged about "Social Media Done Right", praising the @Gap_CasaPaloma for their social networking skills. Since I'm the one who maintains that account, I was totally thrilled. Isn't that soooo cool?

Sooooo....

Are you playing along with Gap's Project Reindeer right now?

Wednesday Emma the Reindeer won it's challenge so all Gap stores offered an extra 40% off of the entire purchase if you mentioned "Emma40" at the cash wrap. Bailey won the ProjectReindeer Challenge Thursday! That means all mens and womens SWEATERS are 50% off at Gap on Friday 12/17. You just have to mention "Bailey50" to the cashier since this is not advertised in the stores.

You'll have to like our Casa Paloma Fan page and/or follow along with Project Reindeer to see what fabulous promotions will happen throughout the weekend.

Here are some fabulous ideas for you to consider for the sweater promo:

Beaded cardigan

Wool open-front cardigan

Ultrasoft V-neck sweater

Shoulder-zip sweater

Metallic striped dolman sweater
