maker spot subscription giveaway

Giveaway #2
This is a giveaway that all you Etsy sellers are going to loooove. Maker Spot is a company that allows you to create a blog that integrates your Etsy store, so your items for sale are always front and center.

Creator Tim Grahl says, “We started Maker Spot because our wives and a lot of their friends have Etsy stores and wanted to market them with a website, but didn’t know how to build one, and couldn’t afford to pay for one. What we wanted to do was create a service that would provide Etsy sellers their own easy to manage website that they could use to market their Etsy store. We also offer the ability to use your own domain name along with the URL we provide (yoursite.makerspot.com).”


The cool part is that it's super-duper easy to set up and maintain. With just your Etsy username you can select a template and you're off! Check out a couple of their current users here and here. Learn more about the company and their features--we think you'll be impressed with all the ways they can increase your business on Etsy.

Today's giveaway from Maker Spot is a 1-year subscription to their service. That's a $150 value!

To enter, please leave us a comment telling us what you sell on Etsy. Entries must be received by Sunday, April 26 at 11:59pm PST.

Another reason we love Maker Spot is their commitment to a great organization to Kiva.org. Jessica told me about this site a while ago and it is so amazing. Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs around the globe. You can lend as little as $25 and help someone in a developing country find economic independence and a better life for their family. And when your loan is repaid, you can turn around and lend it to someone else. Such an incredible idea.

lisa leonard designs jewelry giveaway

Giveaway #1We are so excited about our first Reader Appreciation Week giveaway! This is some of the most beautiful, inspiring handmade jewelry we've seen. Lisa Leonard hand crafts each piece, and even adds custom details on some orders, like your children's names. We think her pieces are so classy, incorporating nature and simple details. We love her "little birdie" pieces!
Lisa says, "My desire is to create simple, lovely pieces that can be worn with jeans or your little black dress. I want each piece to meaningful. Our custom jewelry is hand-stamped with your kids’ names or a special phrase or verse. I love to touch my necklace throughout the day and reflect on my husband and my sweet boys.
"Each piece we create is a work of art—hand cut, hammered, polished, drilled and assembled with care. I am inspired by other artists--painters, scrapbookers, clothing designers and poets. I also love to soak up nature-the sky, the sea, the green hills. I let all these ideas and images swirl around in my mind and then I create."
Lisa also has a great blog that often features giveaways and amazing discounts. For our first giveaway this week, Lisa is generously offering a $50 gift certificate to her online store. To enter, visit Lisa's site and then leave the Little Birdies a comment telling us which piece you would choose if you won. Entries will be accepted until Sunday, April 26 at 11:59pm PST. Good luck!
