First, the winner of the print giveaway: discarding the 2 non-entry comments, there were 21 entries in the
print giveaway--randomizer.org selected the number 19--which means (drum roll anyone?)
Kathy Martin Studios is the winner of a print of her choice. (Kathy, just let me know what print and what size 2.5x3.5, 5x5, 5x7, or 8x10 you would like, along with your address, by contacting me through
my site on etsy).
Second, the new giveaway: So those of you who are not Kathy get too disappointed, I'm immediately starting up another giveaway--this time for my new cat tags, create din response to all the lovely suggestions you all offered in the last giveaway. These are not yet for sale on etsy because I want to make sure they're up to my exacting standards--thus your kitties have the chance to be the trend-setters.
So here's how this one will work. Winning kitties will get their very own original (each piece has been hand-drawn and thus no two are alike) cat tag entirely for free, to test and report back on--and then keep or give away as they see fit (though I hope you want to keep it!). To enter you must:
- Have at least one cat who wears a collar regularly.
- Be willing to have your cat wear this tag during their normal activities for at least two weeks. (Tags will come with a clip for easy collar attachment, though the clip is not shown here.)
- Be able to fill out a brief survey about what you and your cat(s) thought of the tag. (This survey won't include too many questions--it will basically ask whether you liked the look, size, and shape of the tag, how it held up under normal wearing conditions, and if you have any suggestions).
Note: If you and the kitties love it, I'd be delighted for you to mention that publicly, but it's not required--if you dislike it, however, I'd appreciate you simply letting me know what needs to be changed rather than sharing it with the world--after all, I'm doing the market research to make sure I have the best possible product before anyone starts buying and writing about it :)
I need at least five kitties to try out these cute cat accessorie.
I'm eager to hear your feedback, so this giveaway will only stay open for one week--make sure to enter
by September 22nd. At that time, if there are more than 5 entries, I will select the winners using Randomizer.org again and announce them here.
How to enter: If you meet the qualifications above, please leave a comment with the name of your kitty, whether s/he ever wears his/her collar outside, a note as to whether you'd be willing to snap a picture of your cat wearing the tag that I could use as an example to show future customers (this is not a requirment but
people who are willing to share pictures will receive priority in receiving tags over those who aren't), and a tag preference if you have one (depending on who asks for what I may not be able to accomodate all requests, but I'll do my best)
. These tags are already made and thus can't have names and numbers attached to them
, so they're purely meant to be a fun accessory to show off your kitty's sense of style.
Best of luck to all you cat fashion icons out there!
Candy finds it totally unfair that the black cats get all the attention for Halloween. Not that she's got anything against black cats--all that bad luck stuff is just nonsense to her-- it's just that since the colors for the holiday are ORANGE and black, she figures she should get just as much attention.
