Welcome to August Giveaways!

We start off our EtsyGreeting Blog August Give Away with your chance to win six items from Brandedbutterflytwo. The picture below shows a sample of the type of items that you could win.



The winner of the giveaway will receive a surprise like a card, or a button, or a fun piece of jewelry, either for them to keep or give to someone else, for six months. Starting in September I will mail them something appropriate for the following month. For example, I will send them something for Halloween in September. That way they have it in plenty of time for the upcoming month!

From The Artist: Tell me six things that make you happy. I will go first. Happiness is art, my kids, my one true love, going to the beach, fishing in the lake, and giving something to someone that they love!

How To Enter: Post a comment here on the blog, and tell us 6 things that make you happy.

This giveaway runs from August 6th through August 9th with a winner being picked by Brandedbutterflytwo on the evening of the 9th. Please make sure in your comment that there is a way that you can be reached should you be the winner.

Please take a moment to look through Brandedbutterflytwo's shop to see all the items she has available.
