bloempjes giveaway!

Ok, since Facebook recently re-did their guidelines on giveaways, I have to conduct all contest related stuff here on my blog. Of course, the main reason for a giveaway is some free promotion, right? So get out there and help me promote!

As most of you know, bloempjes is my second shop on Etsy. :) I just love creating these flowers so I thought I would give one of them away to you! Sound good?

One lucky winner (open to everyone regardless of where you live) will receive a custom made bloempjes flower! Your flower can be one of the 14 colors that I have available. Next, you'll choose the type: fluffy or modern (round). Then, what you'd like in the center of your flower. And finally, what you'd like on the back, be it an alligator clip or stretchy black headband.

The contest will end on Friday, June 1st June 3rd at 9 PM, US central & a winner will be chosen using Random.org.



























































** Please, PLEASE make sure to include your email address so that I have a way of contacting you if you win! **



You have up to 5 chances to win, please post separate comments for each one.

1. Simply write a comment. It can be witty, it can be serious. It can just be "enter me". Whatever you'd like. Just write something.

2. Go on over to my bloempjes fan page on Facebook & "like" me, then come back here and leave a comment.

3. Go to my bloempjes Etsy store and then come back here and leave a comment with one of your favorite items.

4. Write about this giveaway on your blog (or on your Facebook page if you don't have a blog) & then come back here and post the link.

5. Become a follower of Valerie Paperie blog & leave a comment that you're a follower.

Again, please remember to include your email address with each entry. Thanks & good luck!

**Someone pointed out that June 1st is Wednesday, not Friday! :) I've corrected it above, thank you, Ashley!

  6. Val!
    So excited to see your giving one of your awesome flowers away. AS an owner of several of them I can say they are the most detailed and strongly made flowers I have purchased for our granddaughter. I already know what color I want white w/white beads. (I guess you could have guessed that one). I also love the ponytail one in red you sent I would love more of those. It has really held up fantastic. I don't promote many items but your flowers have had so man compliments where ever we go!

    sue~ (so the large white flower is my fav right now)

  8. just went thru your shop and now I have two fav the one that you creat and make your own like the blue flower to the right *but in white* and the Frida - Rolled red rose headband choker which I would use as a bookmark on one on my journals. It would really spruce up my journal. "great idea"! ;)

  79. I would love a custom "peacock" blue flower. My brother is getting married next month and for the rehearsal dinner I am wearing a simple black dress. I was looking for the perfect statement piece to wear with the dress-- this would fit the bill!

    Please count me in for your fun giveaway; I love supporting other Etsy shop owners :)
