Thank you everyone for playing. Stay tuned as we're cookin' up quite a few
FREE LUNCHES

Kickin' It Off

It's a New Year and I'm feeling a bit restless. Time to do some inner tweaking, challenge myself, learn new things, seek better results and all that jazz. I'm not big on New Year's Resolutions, but I do like the idea of making a few changes.

Here is my 2010 lineup so far ...

Seek ways to improve my blog
Take better pictures for both blog and website
Get physical in order to improve waist size and creativity

What all 3 of these changes have in common is an even better InkSpot Workshop and blog (The Spotter). It is because of you, my supportive customers and readers that I seek to improve. You deserve the BEST!

I'd like to kick off this new year with a little
FREE LUNCH!
I'm feeling generous because
InkSpot Workshop was up 52% in sales for 2009
THANK YOU!

I'm looking for 3 (yes I said 3) lucky winners this time.
I'm serving up a heapin' helpin' of
InkSpot Workshop 2010 Desktop Calendar
PLUS
$25.00 Gift Certificate
to use at www.inkspotworkshop.com

How? Simply leave a comment here with the answer to this question...

What's your biggest change going to be for 2010 and why?

On Monday, January 25th I will choose 3 lucky winners!

*Bonus Points*

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!

Her winning comment...

"I love your stuff! My favorite thing is the Damask Personalized Flat Note Card Set. I would use them to keep in touch with friends and family. What i would like to see on your site is more note cards with large single initial monograms. I would also like to see fill-in-the-blank thank you cards for kids."

Thanks for playing! I loved your comment and am going to start tinkering with some new designs. You will receive a set of 10 Tree Bird Holiday Cards, your choice of color and personalized as you wish, a set of 12 matching holiday gift enclosures, your choice of color, PLUS InkSpot Workshop's 2009 Calendar, choc-full of colorful and fun designs
