A Team Contest!!! :)

Good Wednesday Morning, Team!!!

We're rolling out a new feature on the blog this week!

Every 2nd Wednesday of the month, we'll be holding a Team Contest. We administrators will start the first one out. Here's how it goes:

We will choose the first theme for this month. Since the earth is covered in blossoms in many places of the world right now, the first theme will be 


"Flowers".

You have the next three weeks to create and list an item in your shop that has something to do with the theme "Flowers". This must be an item that you have created specifically for the Contest. When you have listed the item, come on back to the blog and leave a comment with a link to your new item on this post. We will add photos of your listings as we receive them.

In three weeks {July 7th}, we team administrators will close the contest, and choose a winner. The winner will be notified by me, Kate. The winner will then choose the theme for the next month's contest and his/her item will be displayed on the blog. This theme will be introduced on the 2nd Wednesday of next month, July 14th. The winner of this month's contest will also choose the winner of the Theme that they introduce. So, every monthly winner will choose the theme for the next contest and choose the winner of it at the end of the month.

There will be no physical prize for the winner of the contest. And this is, of course, a friendly competition! :) 

We believe this will be a great opportunity for exposure of your Etsy shop and items, and will promote team spirit. 

Monthly themes can be anything! {No vulgur or inappropriate themes, please . . . let's keep this child-friendly . . . and, of course, POSITIVE :)}. We've chosen a simple theme for this month's contest, but if you win the contest, you may want to choose something more in-depth such as: "My Childhood Memories", or "A Trip to the Sea", or it can be a color-theme, such as "My Favorite Color is . . .", or "Something Red".

The contest every month will be headed up by me, Kate from katesCottage2, as I will be the contact person for the contests.

Here's something I've been working on that appropriately fits the theme for this month's contest: FLOWERS . Hope it gets your creative juices flowing! :)

Remember, once you've created and listed an item fitting this month's theme, come on back here and leave a comment and link to the item in this post!

We can't wait to see what you all come up with!!! :)

Fondly, Kate

P.S. I hope this is self-explanatory. If anyone is unclear about it, please contact me via my Etsy shop or leave a comment on this post and I will try to clarify it. :)
