Blog Winner

My friend Paula writes a great new blog called JC's Loft. She recently held a giveaway to honor the milestone of reaching 100 followers and asked me to make a custom shirt for one of the winners. I happily agreed!

Staci from Lizard & Ladybug was the lucky winner. I found out we have a few things in common: we both have boys named Jackson, and we share the same birthday! Staci could pick any Katie Kay Tees shirt design from this blog, and she chose the sibling love set.

I hope her kids love wearing these shirts, and I can't wait to see a photo of them!

Contest Winner

My friend Danielle held a contest on her Extraordinary Mommy website, and the prize was a Katie Kay Tee custom shirt. The winner was Preppy Mama, and she asked me to make a shirt for her son's third birthday next month. I just finished it today, and will be mailing it to her this week. Hopefully she'll send me a photo of the birthday boy in his shirt next month, and I'll update this post and add it too. For now, here's the shirt after it was painted:

UPDATE: Here's an early preview of the birthday boy in his shirt!

Giveaway Winner

I chose Paula H as the winner of my Katie Kay Tees giveaway. I loved her kid's nickname, Tater. I would love to use my creative talent to make a Tater shirt! Who wouldn't?!

Thanks to everyone for their feedback and encouraging comments. It helped me to know that at least someone thinks I have a smidge of talent! I will take all your words to heart, and ponder them. And I might even be contacting some of you, after I get a grip on my life again. (This Bloggy Giveaway thing is crazy!)

If you would like to contact me to order a shirt, leave a comment in this post. I will give a 20% discount to those of you who posted a comment in my contest. The 20% discount is good for the next week, until 8/8/08. (Don't you just love that date?!)

Thanks again to all of you!

Bloggy Giveaway - Custom Shirt!

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. Thanks to all who participated!

Thanks to my friend Danielle, I am trying a Bloggy Giveaway for the first time. Please be gentle with me!

First, let me reveal what everyone wants to know: the prize! I am giving away a custom shirt or onesie of your choice, made by me of course. I'll contact the winner of my giveaway and you can tell me which design you would like, who it's for, which birthday it's for (if it is for a birthday), what size, color, etc.

Please leave a comment in this post, and here's what I would like from you:
1) Please look at all the entries on my Katie Kay Tees blog and tell me which design you like the best. This doesn't have to be the one you'd pick if you win the giveaway, since maybe your kids are already too old for a onesie or maybe you have all boys but you love the girly stuff.
2) Please also give me any other feedback you can think of, like ways to make my blog or shirts more appealing, or maybe tell me a cute onesie or t-shirt saying that you've seen. I'd especially love to hear cute phrases to celebrate a birthday. (What rhymes with four? I've thought about dino-four. What about six, or any other b'days?)

I'll keep the contest open until noon CST on Friday, August 1.

Please also stop by my original blog, Six Golden Coins. I'm doing another giveaway there for a lovely custom photo bracelet.

Thanks for the feedback, and good luck. Wish me luck too in my first Bloggy Giveaway! (I'm sure hoping I did all this right!)
