Polished Indie-d

Hey guys, Jess here, dropping in to give you an update, but first, our giveaway winners! Congrats to Leah and Cecilia, I'll be getting your prizes shipped as soon as possible.

   Now for the announcement: I have been working hard over the last month. It's my plan to bring you new reviews, show off some awesome stamping (with huge thanks to Ruth at Chocolate Vanity for the plates), tutorials, etc.
   However, last month a former schoolmate of mine passed away. She was also the partner of one of my close guy friends. They had two adorable little girls together, one is 4 months old, the other is two years old. My friend is now a 20 year old single father of two kids under 3, a monumental task. I've offered my help whenever needed, as my disability keeps me from working, therefore I'm rarely busy.

So, lovely readers, if you stick with me, I'll be doing my best to get posts up in a somewhat regular fashion, but you must know that my friends come first. I've been swatching and photographing every chance I get, and I'm compiling a bunch of images so I can sit down sometime soon and type up/schedule a bunch of posts.

Hang in there, I'm working on it!

Hey guys!
Tomorrow is the big day, the launch of our Grand Opening Giveaway! I realized I had yet to post all of the information, as I got distracted making last night's prize post. So, here's the details:

• Launch will be at 12am CDT tomorrow, Sunday, April 14th
• Entry will be open internationally
• Giveaway will end on May 31st, 2013
• Winners will have 48 hours to respond, if no response is received, a new winner will be drawn
• Chocolate Vanity and MASH Nails prizes will ship from the companies themselves
• All other prizes will be shipped by me as soon as possible after the winners provide their information

As for the prizes, I've decided to split them into two prize packages. Contents of each, as well as a slideshow of the products shipping directly from me (slideshow will not include the items from MASH Nails & Chocolate Vanity) are below!

At this point, the giveaway will just be going ahead. If more prizes come in, awesome, they'll get added to the list. For now, here's what's up for grabs:

I know, the giveaway is late. My fault, as I had forgotten to return an email to one of the wonderful indie creators that was donating prizes. The giveaway will go up within the next week, as soon as the last prizes arrive and I get them photographed. I apologize for the delay, and will have everything up as soon as possible!

Thanks for your patience,
- Jess
