Cheeky plea for votes... Pllleeeeaaaase

Aren't they divine!? So of course I entered and now I need your votes pretty please with sugar on top. Click HERE and you will land right on the page you need to be to click VOTE - easy :)

A cheeky quest for votes *wink, wink*

Louisa from The Little Big Company is currently running a competition through the Little Big Company blog.


Entrants send in a photo of anything Creative for Christmas - ornaments, dessert tables, decorations etc etc. There are a bunch of fun ideas coming in that can be seen on the blog HERE and yesterday it hit me that I could join in.... I sent in a before and after photo of the plastic ball pits ball 'baubles' on our row of trees along our driveway (see HERE). Louisa has now added it to the entrants and it's voting time - this is where my quest for votes comes in - The Creative Christmas photo with the most votes wins a $100 gift voucher to spend at The Little Big Company's online store (Oh how I could do that in 30 seconds!!)


Soooooooo, do you have a spare moment and feel like popping over to the blog post HERE pretty please? All you need to do is leave a comment saying you vote for the Giggleberry Creations row of trees pic (or something similar) - easy!

The competition ends Dec 15th and I have my fingers and toes crossed :)

What's good? What's bad?..... help please

I'm after your advice, please.
I have decided to bite the bullet and build a Giggleberry Creations web page. With the help of Sarah from Style Me Gorgeous I would love to have a place where customers, wholesale inquiries, absolutely anyone can go to and immediately have a feel for what Giggleberry is all about as well as a place that has links to all things Giggleberry e.g. Twitter, Shop, Blog etc etc.
So now we are in the very early stages of planning I have a few ideas floating around in my head but I would LOVE your help...
* What do you like to see when you visit a web page?
* What do you just hate when visiting a website?
* Do you have a web site? what advice would you give me for making the most out of a web page?

Let me know your thoughts by leaving a comment on this post. Any and all suggestions, comments and advice are very very welcome and much appreciated.

(b) Making/producing handcrafted items for kids or relevant to kids;
(c) Selling products on a website (including madeit, Etsy, etc);
(d) In operation for two years or less.

That's Giggleberry Creations to a T - Yay!

A great big THANK YOU to all!

Okay so I have no finger nails left, my mouse is worn out from clicking around in forums asking - well begging - for votes, my Facebook friends are probably very over my group messages and my hubby could tell you the link from memory he has seen it so much.... but now voting has closed for the 2008 Chick Designer Contest.
I have to say a HUGE thank you to every one who voted for Giggleberry's flags! The response was overwhelming! If I could send you all a personalized thank you card -just like this great one from a fellow Etsy seller macaroniandglue I would!

There were votes from complete strangers just wanting to lend their support, votes from family members who may be a little biased in choosing their favorites, votes from valued customers, votes from other Etsy sellers, and votes from fellow FAM team members.
The support and good luck wishes from everyone was amazing and very much appreciated! Special mention must go out to FAM team members andreabaker, emcisaac, Holycraft, & sghulett who started threads, posted the competition details in other sites & forums, kept threads alive and generally made the voting process allot of fun! But I know many others were sending good luck vibes and voting any way they could, again I say THANK YOU!

There was some great entries and stiff competition, some with a great support team voting for them which kept it very exciting right to the end. The voting will now be tallied up and the results will be posted on the Chick Adventures blog in the next few days. I'll let you all know how Giggleberry Creations goes as soon as possible......... it's just fingers crossed now!
