Summer Gift Certificate Winners & Update for Fall Monthly Draws

Monday, September 13th, 2010

Announcing the winners for the monthly gift certificate giveaway for the months of July & August.

July 2010: Sophia from Pefferlaw, Ontario – enjoy the gift certificate Sophia!

August 2010: Diana from Stratford, PEI – happy shopping Diana!

No interviews for these two months or any future ones (kinda time consuming with the back and forth emails). We will be posting links to your blogs or photos of what you’ve made if you send them over to us though!

And we’re making it a bit better for the September, October, November and December 2010 monthly contests!

Along with the usual $20 Gift Certificate, the winners will also get to choose a sewing pattern as part of their prize. Free fabric and a sewing pattern? Yes, please!

Pink Panda Fabrics, Clippopotamus & Grace Announcements Giveaway

Friday, June 11th, 2010

As promised, this is the first giveaway to celebrate our SavvyMom.ca Mom Entrepreneur Award nomination.

There are a few more giveaways lined up so check back often (we’ll also announce the new giveaways on our Facebook page and Twitter)

So let’s get started!

It was a little over a year ago that I met Alexandria and Lindsay online. They are two of the kindest online friends a gal could ask for. And did I mention, they are very talented too?

Clippopotamus was started in 2008 as a hair clip company while Alexandria was on maternity leave with her daughter Story. Fast forward 2 years and one child later, Clippopotamus now offers products for girls and boys  and Vanessa was brought on board to help with production.

My daughter is the proud owner of 6 Clippo clips and a pair of mitt clips. So if you ever see a girl running around the city with 6 clips in her hair (yup, she requests all of them to be worn at once), you know it’s my daughter!

Grace Announcements was started in 2005 by Lindsay and offers custom invitations, cards and wall art. You may have seen some of Lindsay’s work with your fabric orders – she designed postcards for Pink Panda Fabrics a while back.

My daughter has had this elephant print hanging in her room since she was 9 months old. Needless to say, the word “elephant” was one of her first words (right after “more”, “cheese”, “Mom” and “Dad”)

On Friday June 25, 2010, one lucky person will receive a gift certificate to all 3 stores:

  1. $25 gift certificate from Pink Panda Fabrics
  2. $25 gift certificate from Clippopotamus
  3. $25 gift certificate from Grace Announcements

To enter:

  1. Leave a comment below and let us know what your plans are for the Summer (big vacation, staycation, work, relaxing by the pool? Whatever it is, we want to know!)

For additional entries:

  1. Like Pink Panda Fabrics on Facebook
  2. Like Clippopotamus on Facebook
  3. Like Grace Announcements on Facebook

Leave a separate comment for each “like” (if you say you like all 3 in one comment, it will only count as 1 additional entry and not 3).

Giveaway open to CANADA only and expires on June 25, 2010

Good luck and have a great weekend!

Nominated for SavvyMom.ca’s Entrepreneur of the Year Award

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

We’ve been nominated for SavvyMom.ca’s Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

Wahoo! It has been so much fun running this little store for the past 2 years and getting to know you all (on email, Facebook and Twitter)

Pink Panda Fabrics is run by me (Cheryl) and a few helpful friends and family members (they help cut and ship packages on weekends) and we’re honoured to be nominated for such a fabulous award.

Vote for Pink Panda Fabrics!

So if you have a free moment, we’d appreciate your support and would love you to vote for us to win this year’s award.

No pressure though. You don’t have to if you don’t want to :)

And if you have already voted for us, thank you thank you thank you! We hope to offer even more fresh and modern  designer fabrics to sewing enthusiasts in Canada in the coming years.

To celebrate this nomination, we’re going to run a few contests (giveaways) with a few other mom entrepreneurs we’ve met along the way. Can’t wait to introduce you to them – they are a hoot (and the best cheerleaders one could ask for).

First giveaway starts Friday June 11, 2010. You don’t want to miss it!
