Welcome to the New and Improved Life for Dessert!
I am so excited about the way this design has come together thanks to a lot of hard work by my friend Erin at Design by Insight! We’ve been busting it to get this done, and hopefully the new design will be easier for all of you to navigate to find your favorite recipes, crafts, design ideas, and funny stories. Please let me know what you all think of it! I’m pleased as punch about the way it looks, and hopefully it won’t take too too long for me to get accustomed to the new writing program. I’ve switched from Blogger to WordPress, so if you notice weirdnesses along the way…it’s probably me still a little shaky on my WordPress feet.
To celebrate all this hard work and new look, each day this week I have some amazing giveaways to help you all enjoy your own life for dessert even more! Each giveaway will be open for exactly one week from the post timestamp . I’ll announce the winners throughout next week! And trust me…you’re going to want to come back lots, we’re giving away some absolutely amazing products!!!
To kick things off with a bang, I’d like to introduce you to this little eye candy from Gussy Sews! I recently bought this particular item as a gift, and have been so excited to offer you the chance to win some of Gussy’s wares too!
You may already be familiar with her awesomeness, but if not, Gussy is a self taught seamstress extraordinaire who now has a full-time business pursuing her passion to create beautiful things! And to celebrate the idea of enjoying your own life for dessert, Gussy is offering $30 worth of shop credit for you to use on anything you want!
Gussy combines beautiful, cheerful, and funky fabrics to create clutches, ipad, nook, and kindle cases, make-up bags, totes, and more! Here’s a gal who took her passion, her capacity to teach herself something she wanted to know, and her creativity, and birthed an amazing business of fantastic products. If that’s not diving in to your life, taking big bites, and enjoying every last bite on your plate, then I don’t know what is?!
So here’s how to enter (this giveaway is open to US residents only):
Mandatory Entry: Go to the Gussy Sews Shop, browse around, and choose the item you’d most want to use the $30 credit to purchase. Come back here to Life for Dessert and leave a comment letting me know your chosen item!
- For extra entries leave separate comments detailing each action: You can earn 1 extra entry for each action taken, for a total of SIX extra entries…1) Follow Life for Dessert on Google Friend Connect, 2) Like Gussy Sews on Facebook, 3) Like Life for Dessert on Facebook, 4) Subscribe to receive the Life For Dessert feed (it’s in the sidebar on the top right), 5) Share this link on your own Facebook wall, 6) Tweet this link to all of your followers.
Ok friends. Happy entering! This giveaway will end exactly one week from the time stamp of this entry post. Don’t forget to come back tomorrow…more awesomeness awaits!
