WELCOME!

Posted on May 31, 2010 in Exciting News! | 140 comments

Hey y’all!

Welcome to my new blog!

I’m so excited to have you here to my brand new home on the world wide web! Thank you so much for taking the time to come over and visit! This is going to be  a week of celebration for me… for US! I am so grateful to each of you for your support, and what better way to show that than by giving away some prizes?! Keep reading for how you can win!

Prize #1: Embellishment goodie bag! (Full of doilies, pearls, pins, tags and more!)

- This is just to say “Thank You!” for your support. It just so happened that I crossed the 100,000 hits mark on my final day at my “old” blog, and I have all of YOU to thank! In addition, I found out that I made the Top 20 of Gallery Idol in my last week at my “old” blog. So much excitement I’ve just been giddy every day! So all you have to do is leave a comment on this post, and you’ve qualified for prize #1!

Prize #2: $25 Gift Certificate to Emma’s Paperie

- I hope that those of you who subscribed to my blog before would like to continue to do so now. For those of you who do, and for any new subscribers, follow any one of the links below to subscribe to my new blog, then comment letting me know that you did. Do so, and you’ve qualified for prize #2!

- Subscribe by EMAIL

- Subscribe by READER

(Edited to add: These links have been corrected…thanks for the heads up!)

Prize #3: $15 Gift Certificate to any of the following stamp companies:

(Clear & Simple Stamps, Lawn Fawn, Hero Arts, Papertrey Ink, or Waltzingmouse Stamps)

- I need to make sure that everyone knows I’ve moved (I’d hate for anyone to be left out!) Post a message on Twitter linking to my new blog: http://sarahmartina.com/blog  and to my Twitter account (so I can count you!): @sarahmartina, and you’ve qualified for prize #3!

Enter to win no later than Friday June 11 at 11:59pm CST!

Now that we have that out of the way… take some time to look around, all of my old posts have been transferred over to this site, so if you want to search the site or browse the archives, it’s all still there!

One new thing that you may have noticed is my Etsy shop. I’ve had it open for a little while now, but I’ve made a recent effort to keep it stocked and full of goodies for you to browse and shop for. Take a look and feel free to shop any time! I’ll keep it linked up in my side bar.  Psssst… I’ll be adding something extra special to my shop for you later today!

I just want to take another moment to say thank you so very much for all of your support thus far, and for all of your future support! I continue to be encouraged and motivated by each of you each and every day. Thanks a million times over!

And last but certainly not least… I have to send a HUGE shout-out and thanks to my dear friends Hannah Craner (who designed this beautiful blog) and Savitri Wilder (who helped me with lots of back-end support and motivation to finally get this done!). We can all thank the two of them for this wonderful new site I am able to have. :) Hugs and lots of love to you both! xoxo

*Happy Memorial Day!*
