Uprinting Custom Sticker Giveaway

July 9, 2009 21 Comments

I’m happy to announce the start of a new giveaway sponsored by our friends at Uprinting.

Uprinting is an online printing company that provides high quality prints for a number of different items including brochures, company letterhead and business cards, vinyl banners, window clings, menus, greeting cards, catalogs, and more!

The company also provides sticker printing. Stickers are a great tool for bloggers and business owners. You can use them to advertise and hand out to customers like business cards. Or you can use them to label your products or spruce up your product’s packaging.

They can also be used in your personal life. You could use them to label your bakeware or label your child’s school supplies. Or you can create address labels or letter seals for the back of your envelopes.

Uprinting is offering 250 custom stickers to one Simply Sweet Home reader. You can choose a design from the Uprinting website, or you can upload your own design.

For my own custom sticker, I’m using my blog button. I think a sticker like this would be great for promoting my blog. Don’t you?

This Giveaway is now closed.

Other Rules, Restrictions, and Additional Entries:

-This giveaway is open to US and Canadian residents ONLY.

-The winner of the giveaway is required to pay shipping for the prizes.

-Don’t forget, if you don’t have a blog or a profile with a visible email address, please include your email address in your comment so that I can contact you if you win. (Can’t stress this enough!)

-All products will be awarded by coupon code by Friday July 17, 2009.

-For extra entries, you can follow me on blogger and/or twitter and facebook, or subscribe to my mailing list. Just leave additional comments, and please leave a user name or something so that I can verify. Thanks!

Oh My Gluestick

July 8, 2009 2 Comments

Looking for a shop that sells hair bows, baby shower gifts, and room decor? Look no farther than Oh My Gluestick. This shop is owned by a mother of two named Tommie. Tommie began making hair bows for her daughter, which led her to sell her bows in local shops, and now she is sharing her craftiness with the world on etsy. Her shop features an array of lovely items, and she also makes custom items and gifts to fit your needs.

I was instantly drawn to the monkey stuff in her shop. She has adorable Sock Monkey Ornament/Cake Toppers, a Funky Monkey Stuffed Toy, and very cute monkey die cuts for room decor. She even has sock monkey cupcake toppers, which would be perfect for your child’s birthday or a baby shower!

She also offers adorable party favor gift bags specially customized for your party’s theme and colors, and she makes custom diaper cakes too!

And if you like wall lettering, but can’t find any that matches your child’s room, Oh My Glue Stick is the perfect place for you to look. She has lovely examples of wall lettering in her shop and will be happy to create a customized design for you.

 

And of course, you’ll find plenty of bows here, as well as pacifier clips, and baby headbands. These are uniquely designed and available in a variety of bright and beautiful colors and themes. They are so adorable, I think you’ll find it almost impossible to buy just one!

I hope you’ll all stop by Oh My Gluestick on etsy today, and also check out the Oh My Gluestick blog!

Break Pal Review and Giveaway

April 23, 2009 28 Comments

Can’t find the time to exercise? Finding it hard to stay fit when you’re sitting at a desk all day? Looking for a convenient alternative to the gym? Then you should try Break Pal. It’s a great site where you can access quick workouts every day.

Break Pal is devoted to “Fitness at Your Desk.” It is specially designed for people who work at a desk job and would be perfect for bloggers and people who own a computer-based home business.

Here’s how it works. You sign up for a free trial, and then download the Break Pal widget onto your computer. When you’re working at your computer, you’ll get an alert when it’s time to exercise. You can set your alerts to come at the intervals of your choice: every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. You then click on a link to go to the list of exercises on the Break Pal website.

The site has a variety of exercises that can be done right from your desk such as stretches, Chi Kung, yoga, and Cardio Karaticise. (My favorite exercises are the Block Lunge exercises, which are Standing Cardio Karaticise.)

There are videos that walk you through each exercise. Each video lasts only a few minutes, which is perfect if you’re on a tight schedule, and it’s great for someone who wants to incorporate a short work out into their day. The exercises are fun and can be done by anyone, regardless of your current fitness level, and because each session only lasts a few minutes, you can avoid the fatigue, sweating, and shortness of breath that goes along with a lot of traditional workouts.

What I love about the site is the flexibility that it offers. I always find it difficult to get into a regular exercise routine, so having this widget is very helpful to me. And I love that each exercise routine only lasts a couple of minutes. This allows people of all fitness levels to participate, and it allows you to do the exercise regardless of how much time you have on your hands. It’s also great that you can set your alerts to come at different time intervals. This means that whether you’ll be at your desk for a couple of hours or all day long, you can set aside plenty of time to exercise.

The website also offers a point system for doing your exercises, and they have a network where you can make friends with fellow Break Pal users. You can also create your own profiles and post to an online blog about what your doing on Break Pal.

A membership to this website normally costs $9.95 per month. And today I’m happy to announce that BreakPal is going to give away A Free Membership to 5 lucky Simply Sweet Home Readers. Your membership will never expire, and it will give you access to the Break Pal Widget, all the great exercise routines, and other features on the site.
