OK everyone!!
Are you ready for the super-secret-super-exciting announcement today?!?
Introducing.........
(And Win!)
(March 1st-April 2nd)
My first ever crafty contest!!
I'm calling all of you wonderful, creative ladies to lay it all out, and show me what you've got!!
It's a simple contest, so anyone can enter!
Make something-anything your little heart desires!-centered around the theme of ruffles.
Traditionally, ruffles are sewn, but it does not have to be a sewing project! Your ruffles can be paper, fabric, tissue paper, paintings of ruffles, let your imagination run wild! The more creativity the better! And while you're more than welcome to use any ideas here on the site, you certainly don't have to.
Now for the important part:
PRIZES!!!
We have some awesome prizes, donated by the most wonderful and generous people!
The
GRAND PRIZE
winner will receive:
And Amy's
and
patterns....
Autographed copy of author Shona Cole's brand-new (and completely wonderful!)book; "the Artistic Mother"!
......
..........
One month's free 160x160 advertising on Ruffles and Stuff's sidebar for any website you choose (subject to approval).......
Plus the first pick of any of my necklaces!
**********************************************
The
SECOND PRIZE
winner will receive:
And 2nd pick of any necklace!
**********************************************
The
THIRD PRIZE
winner will receive:
And third pick of any necklace!
After that, I will choose as many runners-up as it takes to give the rest of the necklaces away!
During the contest, I will also be picking some random entries from each week, and posting them for everyone to see! So aim to impress us all!! I will post a few photo-taking tips in a day or two!
(please limit entries to 5 per person)
And please let me know when you send in your entries, which necklace would be your preference, and I will try to make sure the winners get their favorites! :o)
I'll be judging the entries on creativity, and overall appearance, so put your creativity on over-drive, and most of all,
have fun!!
~
P.S.
I'm not really sure how I would advertise a contest, so I would be so appreciative if you wanted to help spread the word, through Twitter, or Facebook, or whatever you've got!
And here is a little button you can display during the month of March if you'd like to :o)
Thank you so much!!
(And I will post more in-depth info about our sponsors soon!)
GOOD LUCK!!!!

I was just wondering if there is a limit to how many times you can enter?
one entry per person or multiple. or multiple entries as long as they are different mediums?
Very exciting Disney! Great prizes! I think you are spoiling us! I can't wait to ruffle up some stuff...don't know what I'm going to do yet, but I have a old tank with a stain on the front I might try one of your little tricks on! Keep up all this inspiring work! You're going to be on Martha one day, I just know it!

OOOh what fun. We love ruffles, they are everywhere here, and may give this a go. I'll have to let my daughter choose what to send, after all they're her clothes.
I love ruffles, just found this ruffly blog. Love it and the prizes are great!
Prudence
I can't wait to see all of the ruffles (and send in some entries myself)!
I posted a link about the contest in my blog!
feistyfinch@blogspot.com
Here is my entry. I'm not sure how to submit, so if there is a different process, please advise!
http://littlelizardking.blogspot.com/2010/03/cutie-patoohtie-bootie.html
Can it be something we have already made? My favorite ruffle entry would be something I made for my wedding about 3+ years ago. I'll assume that's ok unless you post otherwise so you don't have to respond. Such a fun contest! I can't wait to see what people do!
Question!! Do we have to actually MAKE the ruffles? I've been planning a ruffly upcycle... that cool?
Tara: A ruffly upcycle would be fantastic! It's perfectly find if the ruffles were already there :o) I look forward to seeing it!!
Terrific contest Disney! I posted it for my readers at http://sewingbusiness.com/2010/03/09/win-great-prizes-in-ruffles-and-stuff-contest.aspx :)
I'd like to re-ask a question: Can we enter something we made in the past, or do we have to make it this month?
Jordan: Sure, it can be something you've made previously!
I need to ruffle something.... I'll be back....
