Free Lunch!

It's been a while since we've had a FREE LUNCH here on the spotter so in order to help ease the pain of this "recession" we're serving up a hearty portion today. Hope you're hungry because we surely have something for y'all to sink your teeth right into...

How about a $50.00 gift certificate to use at the newly launched http://www.inkspotworkshop.com/? Or are you hungry for some bath goodies, compliments of Sweet Petula? How about both? Yepper, I said BOTH!

All you need to do in order to try your luck at winning both is to click on over to both InkSpotWorkshop and Sweet Petula, sit back and take a look around. Then come back here and let us know how you would use your winnings. You get bonus points for suggesting items you'd like to see in our shops for the up coming holidays.

The winner will be chosen and notified via e-mail on Monday, August 17th - so please make sure to leave a way to contact you. Once notified you will receive a code to activate your $50.00 InkSpot Workshop gift certificate, plus your choice of scents (Sea Spa, Ruby Grapefruit or Lavender) for both a Sweet Petula Aromamist and Hand & Body Balm. You all know I'm a huge fan of Sweet Petula and my bed is not ready for sleeping until I spray my sheets with the Lavender Aromamist. She also writes a gorgeous blog, click here to check it out.

Best of luck to you all and remember... there really IS such a thing as a FREE LUNCH!

A Picture's Worth 1,000 Words!

It's pictures like this that make me honored and proud to have my little side business, InkSpot Workshop. I love seeing that my hand crafted paper goodies really do make people smile and as korny as that may sound, these smiles mean a lot to me.

Thank you Amy, for sending me this picture and your email. Amy was the winner of my Mother's Day giveaway and with her big heart used the gift certificate (along with her own money) and purchased 7 sets of Personalized Teacher's Notes. The ladies shown in the picture are 2nd grade teachers at Ladera Ranch Elementary School in California, where her son attends school. Wow! what a nice way for one mom to honor her son's teachers for all they contribute.

email I received from Amy...

Stacy- Here is the email from my son's teacher, Ellie, who just loves her 'Bulldogs'. Thank you for helping me to spoil the 2nd grade team at Ladera Ranch Elementary School. Jack happily delivered all the stationary to these wonderful ladies who have taught him more this year than just multiplication facts and butterfly life cycles.
With Budget cuts, we are hopeful that all 7 ladies will be back next year (for my second son, Ben, goes into 1st grade next year).
Thanks again for helping me to honor these hardworking ladies. Amy
