Marina's First Giveaway! good luck! :)

Alright, well this is Marina and this is my first blog post for my first giveaway! I'm now in charge of the weekly giveaway, and this week it is a Tracey Wallet kit- including the pattern, fabric shown in the picture and everything else you need to make the adorable wallet! :)

 
To enter I'm going to keep it simple, just leave a comment saying hi, new ideas for giveaways, or any embarrassing questions you'd like to know about my mom! Haha :) The winner will be randomly chosen next Thursday. Good luck and I'm looking forward to next week's giveaway!

-Marina :)

  10. I think you should have a give-away to be "employee of the weekend" some Saturday b/c a) it'd be a HOOT to play, I mean work, there for a few hours and very interesting for sure. I know I'd LOVE to spend a few hours helping around there some Saturday just to be a part of the Buttercupity love. :D

  11. I wish I had your job!! What fun! I think a wonderful giveaway would be a yard or two of your newly stocked knits and one of Patti Young's modkid patterns!! But really, winning a giveaway even of the shop's fabric scraps would make all of our days I am sure!

    ReplyDelete
  12. I think this give-away is perfect! But you could do other "kits" too, like pattern of your choice and fabric, or just fabric (I'm so addicted to everything online!). You have the best job!

  13. Hello! Visiting your store is like a kid entering a candy shop for the first time - so, for give-aways, any of your delicious fabric would be great! Don't know enough about your mom to ask an embarrassing question, but do think that you should add a "salad fork" line to your list of offerings :o)

  14. Just so you know...if I win this, I will still probably be coming in to get help putting it together! ha! :)

    LOVE the Tracey wallet...I am determined to learn and master it for my Christmas gifts this year- with fabric from Buttercuppity, of course. You guys are awesome!

  26. I love the idea of giving away a pattern and fabric rather than the finished product!

  28. The wallet is darling! Great choice Marina!
    How about a free class registration for a give away. And maybe a biggie give away once a year for a stay at a nearby hotel and a weekend of classes?!!!! Or dinner at the Steamplant with a class registration? Too extreme? Okay, just the classes would be nice!!!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. of COURSE I would love to win this giveaway! I agree with mimi and pop about the giveaway! A trip to Spokane would be awesome. Talk to some hotels and see if they would be willing to help out. Or even you could babysit my kids so I could go out?

  30. Hi Marina! That's so fun that you will be in charge of the giveaways! :) I don't think I have any new ideas other then what has already been mentioned - class registration, Modkid patterns, fabric....I'm a huge fan of the new Izzy and Ivy patterns!!! I love every purse pattern and the kids patterns (especially Princess Bella). Have fun with your giveaway! :)

  57. Thanks for a great giveaway! Anything from your shop would be wonderful!! I do love fat quarter bundles, and craft books, or heck, just a yard of fabric would make my life! :) Embarassing question? How about what was your mom's most embarassing moment? lol thats all I can think of. :)

    ReplyDelete
  58. Marina, I got inspired after I was in on Saturday picking out bag fabric. What about a giveaway of a Buttercuppity membership?

    ReplyDelete
  59. HI, what a really cute wallet.

  60. I live in Spokane and just found out about your store. I'll be in this week! I can't wait!

  61. I really admire this wallet pattern! I bet they are addictive once you've done one. Perhaps all my sisters-in-law need one!

    Cheers!

    ReplyDelete
  62. I keep driving and walking past your store while it's closed! lol
    I run BabyDobbins on Etsy, and I'm going to be expanding to create handmade baby and toddler clothing and nursery decor; so, I think you should give away either some clothing patterns, or a free yard (or two? :D) of fabric under a certain price.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Hi. Glad you are spending time with mom this summer. Would love to win the wallet.

    ReplyDelete

  65. Must be the best job in the house. Free giveaways. I am sure that you have lots of ideas for the giveaways. Anything fabric related is a great giveaway.

    I just wished I lived closer. I live in Bristow, VA and I love keeping up with what is going on at your store through facebook and your blog spot. I love all the items that your mom makes. I wish that I lived closer so that I could become a regular at your store and participate in classes.

    Keep up the great work!!!
