The 100 (and fifty) Facebook Fan Giveaway is Here

Okay, it took some doing but I'm ready for this giveaway. To enter you do not need to become a fan of this blog (although you can if you want to). Since this is my Facebook Fan Giveaway the only thing you have to do is to be a fan of my Facebook page. (Visit www.facebook.com/pages/KayaLu-Creations/197158590297419 to Like my page). I will verify if you are a fan or not and will disqualify any entries that don't comply.

Since it took awhile, I've decided to giveaway not one item but three! You can enter for all of them or just one or two. To enter just scroll down and leave a comment under the post of the item you want to win. That's it. Winners will be selected via random.org on Friday, April 1st at 9:00 p.m. EST. If you would like to be contacted by e-mail, leave your address for me, otherwise just check back on the blog where I will announce the winners at the end of the contest.

Although this is a giveaway for my Facebook fans, this contest is in no way sponsored or affiliated with Facebook.

Giveaway #1: Daisy Hair Clips

Winner of this one receives a set of two little white daisy clippies with yellow flower-shaped centers. Flowers are attached to a partially ribbon-colored alligator clip.

Giveaway #2: Crochet Cotton Scrubbers

Winner of this item will receive a set of 6 multicolored cotton scrubbers that can be used as face cleaner/make up remover or in the kitchen to wash your dishes. They are about 4 inches wide--perfect for fitting right in your hand. They are durable and machine washable and dryable.

Giveaway #3 Ladybug Hat

For this one, winner will receive one ladybug beanie sized to fit. Winner will need to let me know what size and then allow me a week to get it shipped out.

The Main Reason For This Blog

I have a confession to make. Yes I love to crochet. Okay, I am a little obsessed with crocheting. Yes, I love just about any other crafting activity. Yes, I have an Etsy shop and realize that creating a shop blog is another way to get my stuff out there where it might possibly be discovered. But that is not why I started this blog.

The main reason for this blog is so that I can have the giveaway that I promised to my faithful Facebook fans without using Facebook to host it. I learned last week that it is technically not legal to use Facebook to host a giveway unless you go through a 3rd party that would require the entrants to add an app to their pages just to enter the giveway. There was a bunch of legal speak and pages of stuff to read through and I came away with my head spinning. I thought about doing the giveaway anyway. Everyone else seems to be doing it and not getting into trouble for it. But I know my luck. And with my luck, I will be the one person who gets made an example of and gets in trouble. I wish I had never read that rotten link. But I did and now I just feel like I can't go through with it knowing what I know. So welcome to my blog.

This may be an interesting new thing because I'm not really sure what I plan to do with it yet (other than that giveaway and probably other giveaways). I can't promise posting frequency or even entertaining content. I know I don't want to spend a whole lot more time on the computer when I could be enjoying my kids or my crafting or trying to make an occasional dent in Mount Laundry. But hopefully I can showcase some of my stuff, do a tutorial once in awhile, and have you get to know me a little bit. I'm open to suggestions and even guest posters if you'd like to share your crafty side!
